First shots of LaFerrari 'Aperta'

Drop-top LaF looks absolutely phenomenal

The first photographs of the new drop-top LaFerrari have been revealed, this following Gordon Ramsay boasting of having an order in for one on Top Gear. He's a lucky man too - it's a stunner! Especially in the colours shown, Ferrari choosing flattering colours with a soft pin-stripe flowing up from the nose to the windscreen all the way back past the engine.

Details on the name and technical specs will be revealed at Paris later this year but expect the same running gear and power as the LaFerrari. In case you need reminding that's an 800hp V12 coupled to a 163hp electric motor capable of hitting 62mph in less than three seconds. Ferrari says modifications have been applied to chassis and aerodynamics to keep the cabriolet as stiff and slippery as the coupe.

If you are looking at buying one as soon as it hits showrooms, you are out of luck! All examples have been already allotted and sold after a special preview, even though the final number is unknown. Ferrari built 499 examples of the LaFerrari and the F12 tdf had production increased to 799 units. Will the Aperta stick to 499 or is it going to be more common than the coupe?
