Powered by a 6.3-litre V12 engine paired with an electric motor, the hybrid hypercar produces a combined 949 horsepower, allowing it to rocket from 0–60mph in just 2.4 seconds.
According to its listing, the LaFerrari has had just two owners, spending much of the last eight years in the “forgiving climate of California” and even being displayed inside its owner’s living room, as reported by Whats The Jam.
The car was originally delivered to the US in July 2015, finished in Ferrari’s iconic Rosso Corsa red with a Nero black interior, red stitching and carbon-fibre detailing throughout.
During its first three years, the hypercar covered just 637 miles, with servicing carried out annually by Ferrari dealerships.
Its second owner, a Northern California enthusiast, continued the meticulous maintenance, having the car serviced every year by Ferrari of Silicon Valley.

The owner later added an Italian tricolour nose emblem and hood pinstriping, inspired by Ferrari’s open-top models.
These were applied using adhesive rather than paint, meaning they can be easily removed.
Although paperwork lists three owners due to the car being transferred to the owner’s LLC, auction specialists stress it should be considered a two-owner example.

The odometer currently shows 4,788 miles.
Described as “a cornerstone addition” to any serious Ferrari collection, the LaFerrari comes complete with its original window sticker, Ferrari Classiche Yellow Book, manuals, tools and charger.
The car is being auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in Palm Beach, Florida, on 14 February.
Its listing says: “This handsomely presented LaFerrari benefits from a life of modest driving use through just two ownerships, the latter of which transpired for eight years in the forgiving climate of California.
“According to an original window sticker on file, and as corroborated by its authenticating Ferrari Classiche Yellow Book chassis number 211999 was optioned with matte carbon fiber, carbon fiber wheel-center caps, dashboard with carbon fiber livery, and Prancing Horse-stitched headrests.
“Finished in Rosso Corsa paint over a Nero interior with complementary special rosso seat piping and stitching, the LaFerrari was dispatched to the US in July 2015, and distributed through Ferrari of Long Island to the independent dealer Recovery Racing III, also based in Plainview, New York.
“The Ferrari was soon delivered to its first owner.
“During the three years of its initial ownership, the hypercar was annually serviced by marque dealerships while accruing only 637 miles by April 2018.
“Purchased in mid-2018 by the consignor, an enthusiast based in Northern California, the LaFerrari continued to enjoy the expert attention of marque dealerships, with annual service conducted by Ferrari of Silicon Valley.
“The owner enjoyed 211999 as a display piece as much as anything, never driving the car on a track or in any competitive setting, and lovingly displaying it in his living room.
“Per his personal preference, the owner submitted the car to Ferrari of Beverly Hills for the application of the current Italian tri-color nose emblem and hood pinstriping, based on the styling of the marque’s open spiders.
“This aesthetic enhancement was conducted with adhesive, not paint, and therefore can be easily removed if the future caretaker prefers a stock appearance.
“It is worth noting that in late 2019 the consignor transferred official ownership of the LaFerrari to his LLC, and as a result documentation cites three separate owners.
“Despite this bureaucratic distinction, the Ferrari has remained the consignor’s personal car for all intents and purposes, and it should definitely be considered a two-owner car.
“Given the consignor’s sparing use of 211999, the car continues to claim very modest mileage, and at the time of cataloguing the odometer displayed just 4,788 miles.
“Such a low-mileage example from Ferrari’s Big Six hypercar portfolio would doubtlessly make a cornerstone addition to any marque-themed collection.
“Accompanied by owner’s manuals, tools, and charger; and ideally documented with its original window sticker, and Ferrari Classiche Yellow Book, this handsomely presented and minimally driven two-owner LaFerrari now awaits its next caretaker, offering prodigious power and advanced technological function.
“It should experience a warm welcome at marque events and major concours d’elegance worldwide, or it may be quietly admired for its brilliance as one of Maranello’s most highly developed hypercars, an eminent example of THE Ferrari.”
