A live auction for this 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta is absolutely cranking, with the top bid at $4.7 million (last time we checked).

It’s a super-rare Ferrari with only 161 miles on the clock and it’s in mint condition.

The Bring a Trailer auction still has 10 days to go so we’re smashing that refresh button every day to see how high the price goes.

The Aperta (Italian for ‘open’) was launched in 2016 as the open-top version of the LaFerrari, and it is fitted with a removable hardtop made from carbon fiber.

It is powered by the same engine as its coupé counterpart, a 6.3-liter V12 mated to a KERS system and one electric motor, for a combined power output of 950 hp.

The car you see here was delivered new in Florida but it is now being sold in Atlanta, Georgia with a clean Ohio title.

It is finished in Rosso Corsa, with matching brake calipers and and inside you’ll find black leather and Alcantara upholstery with red accents.

The original retail price was $2,279,800 and that’s including the optional $71,000 ‘see-thru’ carbon fiber hardtop.
