THE FERRARI

By the early 2010s, a new breed of hybrid-electric hypercars from other manufacturers was challenging Ferrari’s status as a builder of nothing less than the most extraordinary sports cars money can buy. Tapping the spirit of competition that had served it so well on the track for 65 years, Ferrari duly met this challenge with yet another limited-production supercar, one that would dwarf its predecessors in power, technology, and scope. Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show, the new model was simply called LaFerrari, literally “The Ferrari.” When the media and enthusiasts eventually dissected the performance numbers, design, and engineering, it was difficult to argue with the model’s boastful name.

The heart of LaFerrari is a mid-rear-mounted, 6.3-liter V-12 engine directly lifted from the developmental FXX model. With an absurd compression ratio of 13.5:1, the V-12 developed 789 horsepower, redlining at a whopping 9,250 rpm. The 516 pound-feet of torque arrive relatively high, just shy of 7,000 rpm. An electric motor derived from the company’s Formula 1 Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) was installed in the rear, adding 161 horsepower, greatly improving response and acceleration at lower rpms. In total, the two powertrains combined for a head-spinning 949 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque, propelling the slippery LaFerrari to 60 mph from a standstill in as little as 2.4 seconds. The quarter mile arrived in 9.7 seconds at 149.2 mph, besting both the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 918.

Ferrari’s in-house designer Flavio Manzoni penned the coachwork, which is beautifully low-slung and sleek while eschewing the brutal and somewhat angular styling of the Enzo. Electronically deployed active aerodynamic elements, including “smart” front and rear undercarriage panels, and a rear spoiler continuously provide downforce from between 200 and 800 pounds to maintain the car’s traction and composure at any speed. Mammoth cross-drilled and vented Brembo carbon-ceramic disc brakes and proprietary Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires complete the technical profile, keeping the LaFerrari grounded through screaming switchbacks.

A CODDLED, SINGLE-OWNER EXAMPLE

Delivered new via Ferrari of Denver, Colorado, in February 2015, this LaFerrari is one of 499 slated for production—all of which were spoken for before the first production example was even completed—and one of approximately 120 US-specification examples.

Finished in the classic marque colors of Rosso with a contrasting Nero roof, the interior is highlighted by its extra-range Nero leather trim. Further bolstering its credentials as an excellent example of the breed, this LaFerrari has been driven only 710 miles at the time of cataloguing, yet it has nevertheless benefited from routine service by its delivery dealer. No expense was spared servicing the car at regular intervals despite this limited road use.

Of particular importance is the major service conducted by Ferrari of Denver in May 2025. In addition to routine maintenance items, this included a replacement of the car’s high-voltage battery and confirmation that the advanced hybrid system was operating correctly, as well as charging to 100%. In total, this service work was completed at a cost of $349,183.94, indicating the overall level of care lavished upon this particular car.

At the time of its major service, the LaFerrari was also submitted for Ferrari Classiche Certification, which was granted in 2026 and confirms its correct specification and presence of its numbers-matching engine and gearbox. The car is now accompanied by its corresponding Red Book, as well as the Ferrari Yellow Book that was delivered alongside the car when new. It is further accompanied by build specification sheets, owner’s manuals in pouch, two spare keys, center-lock wheel socket, roadside kit, hybrid battery charger, shoulder-strap luggage in cloth bag, seat covers, and two sets of spare wheels (one black and one silver), plus service invoices detailing maintenance carried out by Ferrari of Denver from new.

Ferrari’s first foray into hybrid road car technology, the LaFerrari has quickly solidified its position in the upper echelon of modern hypercars. With its striking design and breathtaking performance, it is destined to be celebrated as one of the all-time great Ferraris, with this stunning, single-owner example, displaying just 710 miles, among the best to become available.
