Originally slated to be auctioned during this year’s
Barrett-Jackson January Scottsdale Auction, it was determined that
the car’s original high voltage battery was nearing the end of its
anticipated 8-year lifespan. The supercar was held back to install
a new battery, which was performed by Ferrari of San Francisco.
Watch the video with Sammy Hagar discussing the new battery
installation here.
“The decision to hold Sammy’s LaFerrari for our Fall Auction in
Scottsdale was the right one, and ensures it’s a truly immaculate
supercar for the next owner,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO
of Barrett-Jackson. “Sammy is one of the most celebrated rock stars
of our generation and isn’t letting off the gas. In April he was
honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he just
kicked off ‘The Best of All Worlds Tour.’ His LaFerrari is an
extension of his ‘go fast lifestyle,’ and we’re honored to make it
the centerpiece of our second Scottsdale auction this year. It’s
truly an epic way to close out 2024.”
The Ferrari LaFerrari, also known simply as “LaFerrari,” was
introduced in 2013 as the Italian automaker’s definitive model. It
was an instant sensation, blending breathtaking aesthetics with
cutting-edge technology and jaw-dropping performance. With its
hybrid powertrain and Formula-1-inspired features, the LaFerrari
quickly earned its place among the most sought-after vehicles in
the world.
With custom finishes chosen and designed by Hagar, this
LaFerrari features an elegant cream exterior, matching the color of
a 1960s Ferrari that Hagar saw pictured on the wall at the
Maranello factory during his visit in 2014. It is further enhanced
by carbon-fiber and black accents that contribute to its visual
appeal, capturing the essence of the Italian automotive
artistry.
Included with the sale of this LaFerrari is a special replica
model of the vehicle Hagar received as a gift from Ferrari, in
addition to a book of the build process and a display plaque signed
by Hagar from when the vehicle was displayed during Monterey Car
Week at the Quail.
“I’m so excited that my LaFerrari, the most beautiful one on the
planet, is headed back to Scottsdale this fall,” said Hagar. “This
car has a new high-voltage battery straight from the factory, so
it’s even better than the original. It’s going to be an
extra-rocking time because it’s crossing the block on Oct. 12, the
day before my birthday. In fact, the winning bidder had better
bring a passport, because I’m taking you to Cabo to help celebrate
my birthday on October 13. This is going to be a wild ride and I
can’t wait to see everyone there.”
