"Just loved the reaction of the guy filming the prancing horse as he knew it was very special. As far as we know, this is the only LaFerrari currently residing in SA as the others have left."

As the V12-powered car two-door drives passed, he says:

"What!? No! Stop it right now, the Ferrari the Ferrari, not the Ferrari the Ferrari dawg"

Watch the clip below:

According to Ferrari, the LaFerrari is powered by a V12 engine and one electric motor to produce 708kW mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and has a top speed of over 350km/h.

The exclusive nature of the car led to Ferrari only producing 499 units, which cost around $1 500 000 or over R25 million when launched in 2013.

Since then, the LaFerrari has increased in value, and CarScoops.com reported that a 2014 model was sold at an auction at Monterey Car Week for $3.1 million or R52 million.
