When an auto manufacturer builds a limited production vehicle, the numbers low to ensure those with deep enough pockets that can afford them know that they have worth something. Ferrari is one such company and their most recent hypercar, the insanely fast yet elegant; Ferrari LaFerrari.
Only 499 models were to be built. However, it appears there will be one more built before the Aperta, or convertible version launches next year with a higher price tag and lower build numbers.
But what has pushed the Prancing Horse to do such a thing? On the 24th of August 2016, a massive earthquake struck Italy causing millions of Euros in damage. As Italy is the home of Ferrari, there was only one thing do. Build an additional LaFerrari an auction it off with all the proceeds going to aid those affected by the natural disaster.
When it hops atop the auction block is unknown, we can guarantee that this 500th model will sell for more that $5 Million or AED 18,365,750 as a used one was just sold for a similar price. Get your wallet ready and tell your other half that it’s for a good cause and they’ll just have to say yes.
This isn’t the first time Ferrari have done such a thing, in 2006, a 400th and final Ferrari Enzo was commissioned which was auctioned off and in 2012 when two earthquakes struck the country, Ferrari auctioned off a multitude of items including a 599XX Evo.
