Ferrari has just launched its open-topped version of its flagship LaFerrari hypercar in the presence of an adoring audience at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The display car was decked out in black with red pin-striping, and, as you can probably imagine, was the source of much fanfare on the hallowed Ferrari stand at the show.
Changes that occurred when the car morphed from a Berlinetta (hardtop coupe) into an Aperta are minimal, however engineers reinforced the chassis due to the rigidity lost as a result of the roof being removed, and also tweaked the cooling system due to the airflow changes that its removal caused.
Enthusiasts will be happy to known that the LaFerrari's masterpiece of an engine, a 6.3-liter, mid-mounted V12 producing 789bhp, will be left unchanged in the Aperta model. The engine will power the car together with a 161bhp Kinetic Energy Recovery System. This prodigious amount of power is enough to propel the car to 60mph from rest in under three seconds, and the car doesn't stop accelerating until it has reached an eye-watering 217mph.
