The Ferrari LaFerrari Thread

Since you posted the pics, I have looked at them 20 times! Incredibly beautiful. In general I prefer a coupe to a spider, but this one is the exception. This specific colour spec and combination is awesome ! What a masterpiece.

Man sues Ferrari for not giving him a LaFerrari Aperta

Special edition supercars, especially roofless Ferraris, are almost always sold out by the time they are revealed; usually to extremely loyal and wealthy customers. Because they are released in very limited numbers there will always be a few potential owners who are frustrated by the fact that they did not make the cut. You would expect these people to just brush it off and wait for the next special edition (seeing that they come out every once in a while anyways) but Preston Henn believed that his inability to purchase a LaFerrari Aperta (Spider) is, in fact, against his civil rights and thus a legal matter.

Henn (85) is a very successful entrepreneur from Florida, USA thanks to the Swap Shop flea market that he created in 1963; something that has become an iconic tourist attraction since its inception. He also managed to claim a victory at 1983 24 Hours of Daytona and second at the 1984 24 Hours of Le Mans (both times driving Porsches) which means he has some skill behind the wheel.

Henn has been a long time supporter of Ferrari as his car collection history consists of a 275 GTB 6885 Speciale, Enzo, a hardtop LaFerrari and many more which is why he was distraught when his $1 000 000 deposit mailed directly to Sergio Marchionne was rejected and returned in a supposedly humiliating fashion.

Ferrari executives mailed the cheque back to him and told him he did not make the cut. They also informed him not to send cheques directly to its executives again as they “cannot be responsible for checks or advances directly provided to us which bear the high risk of being lost.”

As a result of this rejection, Henn will be suing Ferrari for defamation of character in excess of $75 000 (R1 055 000) along with a trial by jury.

'Sell me a LaFerrari - or I'll sue!'

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Would you sue a car company that decided you were not good enough for one of its cars?

No, seriously; that's exactly what Fort Lauderdale businessman, foremr racing driver and noted Ferrari collector Preston Henn has done.

Henn already owns a LaFerrari and the one-off 275 GTB/C 6885 Speciale - which he is not alone in describing as the most valuable car in the world - so he was very upset (we're being polite here, you understand, this is a family website) when his deposit for a limited-edition LaFerrari Spider, of which just 150 will be made, was declined.

He tried everything he could to get on the list - even sent a deposit cheque for $1 000 000 (R13.92 million) directly to FiatChryslerAuto (and Ferrari) boss, no-nonsense Canadian Sergio Marchionne, who simply sent it back.

So over the weekend he filed suit against Ferrari in the District Court of Southern Florida for defamation, demanding an amount "in excess of $75 000" (R1,04 million) in damages - and insisting on a jury trial.

‘Not qualified’

The document states, among other things, that "the publication of the statement that Preston Henn is not qualified to purchase a LaFerrari Spider is an untrue statement which harms Henn's reputation in the universe of Ferrari aficionados and holds him up to ridicule, disrespect and disrepute in his profession, trade, occupation, avocation, and among his friends and business and social associates."

The point is that Ferrari's refusal to allocate one of the sold-out LaFerrari Spiders to Henn was contained in private correspondence. Without this suit, nobody in the universe of Ferrari aficionados would have known about it.

Ferrari is not alone in selecting with care the customers to whom it sells its limited-edition cars; Ettore Bugatti famously refused to sell a Type 41 Royale to King Zog of Albania on the grounds that 'the man's table manners are beyond belief’.
