Dieter Knechtel, CEO of Ferrari Far East and Middle East, stated that the Ferrari began on March 12, 1947, when the Ferrari 125 S first came out of the factory, and for the past 70 years, Ferrari has been a distinctive iconic brand. In addition, the main features that symbolize Ferrari, such as the 12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, have been derived from this first model. Having a Ferrari means more than just having the car's ownership, but means possessing a part of dreams and history, emotions that no one can feel, and the output of craftsmanship and ability.

Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Ferrari selected 70 motifs representing Ferrari by carefully reviewing the most symbolic style over Ferrari's history through the 70th anniversary special Tailor Made project. It is introduced that these motifs were introduced to five models, including F12 Berlinetta, California T, 488 GTB, 488 Spider, and GTC4 Russo, and they were produced and sold in limited quantities of a total of 350 vehicles.

Starting from March 12, the global event commemorating the 70th anniversary of Ferrari began had been held 70 times around the world, and on September 9 and 10, the main event was held in Maranello.

LaFerrari Aperta, the exclusive limited edition model specially designed for the 70th anniversary of Ferrari, is an open-top version of the Ferrari's top-of-the-line ultra-high performance supercar model, LaFerrari, with a maximum output of 963 horsepower and maximum speed of 350km/h powered by the hybrid engine technology of LaFerrari, which combines Ferrari's state-of-the-art electric motor with its unique V12 engine. A total of 210 cars were sold globally, and the last car was reported to have been won for 11.2 billion won at an auction in Maranello as part of the Ferrari 70th anniversary celebration.

LaFerrari Aperta is the special limited edition for customers who pursue the pleasure of open airing while maintaining the driving performance of Ferrari's top model, La Ferrari. A soft top is standard, but you can opt for a carbon fiber hardtop as an option. The Ferrari styling center made the car similar to the original LaFerrari in terms of the technical elements and atmosphere of the car. Also, while maintaining the style that divides cockpit and frame with only an elegant line flowing through the frame, the character line was modified slightly. Here, flying bridges made of carbon fiber played a big role.

The powertrain is the same hybrid as LaFerrari Coupe, and with a combination of a V12 6,262cc engine spewing 800 horsepower and a 120 kW electric motor, the output reaches 963 horsepower. The software that controls this powertrain has optimized the data accumulated through LaFerrari so that Maranello's engineers can further refine to enhance the overall efficiency. The dynamic control system, coupled with the active aerodynamic system, is equally applied to the coupe. Despite its an open-top model, the maximum speed is more than 350 km/h, and in a standstill, acceleration of 100km/h is covered within 3 seconds, acceleration of 200km/h is within 7.1 seconds.

All of the capabilities are focused on the chassis to reinforce the underbody, and the angle of the butterfly door has been slightly modified to match the frame of the open-top structure. On the side of the wheel arch and side geometry, the aerodynamic vents, as well as the frame, were replaced with carbon fiber to maintain the rigidity of the butterfly style door. With these changes, the car's weight has increased slightly, but with clear objectives and direction, LaFerrari Aperta has the same level of torsional rigidity as LaFerrari. When driving with opening loops through the modification of aerodynamic device, the drag coefficient is not much different to Coupe.
