Drop-top hypercar revealed on social media; Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne said customers have already been approached
The Ferrari LaFerrari Spider has been revealed ahead of its Paris motor show reveal and 2017 launch.
Three images have been released, revealing the open-top hypercar's design changes, which include a pair of rear butresses and roll-over hoop.
The biggest difference between the LaFerrari coupé and spider are, of course, the roof. Ferrari’s most recent convertible models, the 488 Spider and California, have been folding hard-tops, but the LaFerrari Spider gets a removable carbonfibre hard top or soft top, due to the extra weight of a full convertible and the tight packaging of the mid-mounted V12 engine and hybrid system.
The LaFerrari’s carbonfibre chassis has recieved extensive modifications in order to maintain torsional strength, and the car's aerodynamics have been tweaked to ensure drag coefficient is the same as the coupé.
The hybrid system from the LaFerrari coupé, which mixes a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 engine with an electric motor and battery pack for a combined 950bhp, makes it over to the spider version unchanged.
CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed earlier this year that potential customers had already been shown the car, and Ferrari has now confirmed all available examples have been sold.
No pricing has been revealed, however Autocar heard from one private broker earlier this year who claimed to be able to source a brand-new LaFerrari Spider for €3.5 million (£2.8m) before taxes for 2017 delivery.
