A unique Ferrari LaFerrari, once owned by former Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa, is set to go under the hammer at an RM Sotheby's auction. This particular hypercar stands out not only due to the model's limited production but also its direct association with the renowned Brazilian racer.

Massa, who drove for Ferrari for eight seasons between 2006 and 2013, took delivery of this LaFerrari shortly after leaving the team. He personally specified its appearance: Nero black paint complemented by Rosso Corsa red stripes along the front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser.

Under the hood, the LaFerrari boasts a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 963 horsepower. Ferrari claimed at the time that the car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds and exceed 350 km/h.

The auction house anticipates the exceptional vehicle will command a price of approximately $6 million.
