Better than a LaFerrari, a LaFerrari Prototype!

In the world of automotive collecting, certain models transcend the simple status of supercar to become historical objects.
This is precisely the case with the 2014 LaFerrari Prototype Preseries PS1, a pre-series specimen as rare as it is fascinating, which will be auctioned in Miami by RM Sotheby’s with an estimated value between $1.9 and $2.2 million. More than just a hypercar, this represents a milestone in Ferrari’s technical development.
Automobile prototypes have always exerted a particular attraction. They embody the last step before final production, when engineers and designers have already solidified the essentials of their vision while retaining some experimental elements.
In the case of the LaFerrari, the internal development program called “F150” took place in several phases, mixing technical mules, dedicated chassis, and vehicles almost identical to the final model. The PS1 prototype belongs to this final generation, where the boundary with the commercial version becomes almost imperceptible.
A pre-series that is worth its weight in gold
This specific chassis, numbered 197860, stands out by featuring a complete hybrid chain associated with the 6.3-liter V12, as well as fully functional active aerodynamic elements. In other words, it is not just a display shell but a driving car that is technologically advanced. Its displayed mileage of 16,423 km suggests real use during official testing, demonstrations, or customer trials.

Aesthetically, this PS1 adopts a distinctly sporty livery combining Rosso Corsa and satin black, accented with white circles and Pirelli markings reminiscent of the competition world. The interior features black leather, visible carbon fiber, and red seats, while a “F150” plaque at the bottom of the steering wheel serves as a reminder of its prototype status. For a knowledgeable collector, owning such a specimen is less about purchasing a supercar than acquiring a fragment of the creative process from Maranello, a nearly unique piece of engineering telling the story of the creation of a modern legend.
