Ramsay’s car is one of just 200 LaFerrari Apertas built for customers, finished in Bianco Italia a pearlescent white that gives the already dramatic shape even more presence. The Aperta is the open top version of LaFerrari, pairing a 6.3 litre V12 with an electric motor for a combined output of around 950 brake horsepower. It will sprint to 62 miles an hour in under three seconds and run well beyond 200 miles an hour, but the real story is exclusivity. Ferrari hand picked buyers, favouring established clients with serious collections and a history with the brand.
That strategy has paid off handsomely for those who made the cut. Today a well kept LaFerrari Aperta is valued at roughly £7,000,000. Adjusting for inflation, Ramsay’s original £1,600,000 outlay in 2016 equates to about £2,217,000 in today’s money. On those numbers he is sitting on a gross inflation adjusted gain of £4,783,000, or a return of just over 215 percent. Put another way, the car has more than tripled in real terms in less than a decade, comfortably outpacing most conventional investments over the same period.
LaFerrari Aperta values reflect a broader pattern at the very top of the supercar market. Limited production, genuine technical significance and a carefully controlled buyer list create conditions where demand far outstrips supply. Ramsay’s pearlescent white Aperta ticks all of those boxes, and his decision to hold rather than flip quickly has turned an indulgent purchase into a remarkably shrewd financial move.
