The Ferrari LaFerrari Spider breaks cover ahead of its Paris motor show reveal and 2017 launch. Three images of the car have been released online, revealing the open-top hypercar's design changes, which include a pair of rear buttresses and roll-over hoop.
The biggest difference between the LaFerrari coupé and the Spider are, of course, the roofs. Ferrari’s most recent convertible models, the 488 Spider and the 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 received extensive modifications in order to maintain torsional strength, and the car's aerodynamics have been tweaked to ensure its drag coefficient is the same as that of 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 963hp, makes it over to the Spider version unchanged.
CEO Sergio Marchionne had said earlier this year that potential customers had already been shown the car, and Ferrari has now confirmed that all available examples have been sold.
