Ferrari has released, via Twitter, the first photo of the open-top version of the LaFerrari. This is the first we've seen of the sun-seeking supercar, although potential customers already have been shown the car-and, yep, it's sold out.

CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed the car's existence in an interview this spring. Marchionne referred to it as “the Spider,” but in a statement today, the company said the car's name-along with its technical details-would be revealed at this fall's Paris auto show, where the car will make its official debut. That's also when we'll learn how many will be built.
-Ferrari did confirm that the roadster version, which it characterized as a “limited-edition special series,” has the same powertrain as the hardtop. That means a 6.3-liter V-12 supplemented by an electric motor, with a total output of 949 horsepower.

We also know that the car comes with both a soft top and a removable carbon fiber hard top. There's no word, however, on pricing. One wonders if the customers invited to the special preview were told-or maybe it was just: “Do you want one or not? We haven't settled on a price; when the car is ready, we'll bill you.” Somehow, we doubt that anyone would have objected.
