Just a quick heads-up to anyone in South West London, specifically the Wandsworth/Wimbledon/Southfields area. The recently opened Joe Macari dealership has a red LaFerrari in at the moment.

It's lined up with an Enzo, F50, F40 and 288 GTO, which is quite a sight! I've attached a few images below.

A plaque between the headrests says 1/499, but I gather every LaFerrari has this, rather than it identifying each car uniquely?

The full set. Looks quite large next to the Enzo-perhaps just the pic.

Just the angle of the pic I reckon. I don't know the measurements of the LaFerrari but it seems quite a bit smaller than the Enzo. Narrower and lower.

Why has he plugged a vacuum cleaner into the fuel cap? Did he fill it with diesel by mistake?

The hybrid battery charger. If not plugged in for 5 days = cancelled warranty on battery pack and claimed reduced performance / longevity.

Ferrari have never individually numbered their cars and never will, 2 reasons for this:-

1. People will want either number 1 or the last one or number 8 etc etc
2. It possibly allows Ferrari to produce more than the number stated ? That's just a thought obviously smile

Really? Thats poor. That would massively compromise the usability of the car. Can you imagine having to carry around the charger pack on a Euro tour?

Tut, tut. You should know that this isn't true! Off the top of my head: 550 Barchetta, F50, F355 Spider Serie Fiorano, 348 Serie Speciale, 348 GTC and some country-specific special editions all have plaques bearing the sequence number of the car (i.e. x of y). 612 Sessantas aren't numbered but each have one of the 60 Anni plaques on the centre console.

And that's assuming there's somewhere to plug it in that's within reach of your parked car.

It's a fact of life with all these hybrid super cars, can imagine plenty of issues in a few years time. Will make replacing the bag tanks on the Ferrari F40 look like pocket money if/when these new hybrid systems fail..
