Not so much a hybrid, as a V12 hypercar with a punch of electric nitrous. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the very last LaFerrari ever built - number 500 - and it has just sold for a whopping $7,000,000 at auction. That makes it, apparently, the most "valuable 21st Century automobile ever sold at auction".You"ll recall that a few months ago, Ferrari boss Sergio Marchionne revealed his plans to build one final LaFerrari and offer it up for sale. This is that LaFerrari. The proceeds of will go to charity, which helps the reconstruction of central Italy following the devastating earthquakes earlier this year.So this is it. The last ever LaFerrari you could have actually bought straight from Maranello. It"s red, naturally, and gets a "white dream line" on the bonet and rear windscreen. There"s also a small Italian flag on the bonnet, along with a "one-of-a-kind" interior featuring a special commemorative plaque.What else do you need to know? That it of course houses a 6.3-litre V12, an electric motor for additional boost, 950bhp and over 663lb ft of torque, the ability to go from 0-62mph in 2.9s, 0-124mph in 6.9s, 0-186mph in 15s flat and top out at over 218mph. So pretty quick, then.
