The LaFerrari has recently visited Hong Kong's Ferrari and Maserati dealership where the Italian supercar photographed at every angle by Icy J Photography.

Built to replace the Enzo, the LaFerrari is powered by a 6262cc V12 engine which produces 800 hp at 9,000 rpm and 700 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, working together with an electric motor providing an extra 163 hp and 270 Nm. This setup creates a total combined power output of 963 hp.

Limited to just 499 units, the LaFerrari will go on sale in October and pricing starts €1.3 million.

More extreme LaFerrari confirmed

The LaFerrari's chief designer Flavio Manzoni has officially confirmed a more extreme version of the supercar is in the works.

Although he didn't mention a specific number will be made, but it seems likely that there will be fewer than 10 in total, with a price tag of somewhere between £3 million and £5 million.
 
Flavio Manzoni said "when we were producing the original design proposals for LaFerrari there was one proposal that I thought was especially beautiful. So we decided to keep that one back for something truly special in the future."

Chances are the super-exclusive LaFerrari will adhere to the 2007 Millechili concept's 1,000 kg kerb weight. As a result, it is a 255 kg less than the standard version.
