Ferrari built 500 LaFerrari coupes, one more than the 499 it announced. Add the 210 open-top LaFerrari Apertas and the road-car total comes to 710 (500 plus 210). The two extra cars, the 500th coupe and the 210th Aperta, were both built late and sold at auction for charity. Ferrari unveiled the LaFerrari at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show as its first hybrid production car. Its 6.3-liter V12 made 800 cv and revved to 9,250 rpm, and a 163 cv electric motor raised the total to 963 cv. Auction house RM Sotheby's says coupe production ended in January 2016, and that about 120 of the cars were built to US specification. Having money alone didn't give you the opportunity to buy one. Hagerty reported in 2016 that buyers needed several Ferraris already in the garage, a personal recommendation sent to the factory by a Ferrari dealer, and a full review before Ferrari approved them. Selling the car within 12 months of delivery could wipe out an owner's VIP standing with the company. RM Sotheby's says all 499 were sold to preferred clients before the first car was finished. The list price was about $1.4 million, per Hagerty.
The 500th coupe and the 210th Aperta
On August 31, 2016, during a summit between the Italian and German governments held at Ferrari, chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne announced an extra LaFerrari, "one more than the original 499 planned." The money would go to people in central Italy hit by the earthquake of August 24. RM Sotheby's sold that car in December 2016 at Ferrari's Finali Mondiali event in Daytona Beach, Florida, for the National Italian American Foundation Earthquake Relief Fund. It wore a one-off red-and-black livery with white pinstripes, a small Italian tricolore on the nose, and its own plaque. Bidding ran about 10 minutes. Ferrari gave the price as $7 million, then a record for a 21st-century car at auction, though a 2023 article in Ferrari's own magazine puts it at $7.5 million. The Drive put the price at roughly five times the original asking price.
Ferrari had done this before. It donated the final Enzo to the Vatican, which sold it to help victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The open-top LaFerrari Aperta followed at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, built for Ferrari's 70th anniversary with the same 963 cv hybrid drivetrain. RM Sotheby's says only existing LaFerrari owners could order one, and all 200 customer cars were sold before the public reveal. Ferrari also built nine pre-production cars, most of them used at anniversary events, for a planned run of 209. One US Aperta carried over $113,000 in extras, including a carbon fiber hardtop, for a sticker price of nearly $2.3 million.
Then Ferrari added one more. On September 9, 2017, RM Sotheby's auctioned a 210th Aperta at Ferrari's Fiorano test track before the car had even been built. It sold for €8.3 million with no commission, and the proceeds went to Save the Children for education projects in Asia and Africa. Ferrari called it a new record for a 21st-century car. The 210th car wears metallic Rosso Fuoco paint with a double Bianco Italia racing stripe.
The FXX K and what LaFerraris sell for now
There is also a track-only LaFerrari. Ferrari unveiled the FXX K at the 2014 Finali Mondiali at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. It isn't road legal, and Ferrari pitches it as a rolling lab whose owners become client test drivers. Ferrari quotes 1,050 cv. The count is murky: a Ferrari magazine article says only 42 were made, while RM Sotheby's said in 2025 that about 60 are accounted for. An Evo upgrade arrived in 2017, and one FXX K Evo sold for CHF 5,236,250 in Zurich in October 2025.
Road-car prices climbed fast. The first LaFerrari offered at public auction sold for $3.685 million at Bonhams in Monterey in August 2016, and Mecum sold a matte black car the next day for $5.17 million. Sammy Hagar bought a LaFerrari new for $1.4 million in 2015 and sold it for $4,675,000 at Barrett-Jackson on October 12, 2024. Hagar picked its cream paint after seeing similar paint on a 1960s Ferrari in a photo at the factory. The car was first consigned for January 2024, but inspection found its high-voltage lithium-ion battery at the end of its eight-year life, and a replacement wasn't available at the time. In October 2024, Hagerty said most LaFerrari sales fall between $3 million and $4 million and valued a concours-condition car at $4.4 million, a figure the Hagar sale beat.
Recent coupe sales have run higher. At RM Sotheby's Monterey sale in August 2025, a 54-mile 2015 LaFerrari with $127,241 in factory options brought $5,230,000. In Arizona in January 2026, a 2015 car with 1,938 miles sold for $5,477,500. An Aperta did better: a 2017 car made $6,715,000 at Monterey in August 2025.
