We know what you’re thinking of asking upon reading our title and the answer is that, the man whose face we cannot see is likely Top Gear magazine’s editor-in-chief Charlie Turner who wrote a piece about the first drive of the LaFerrari and not one of the folks from the Top Gear television show.
The short video itself contains no human commentary, only the sweet sounds of Ferrari’s 6.3-liter V12 engine that is supplemented by a 161hp (163 PS) HY-KERS hybrid system.
Whatever you think about the LaFerrari and how it might compare to the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, it doesn’t really matter because you can’t get your hands on one even if you wanted to – at least until some of the 499 handpicked owners decide to drop their rides on the used car market.
But we wouldn’t bet on that happening any time soon; as pointed out by Turner in his magazine article, “to simply be considered LaFerrari ownership material, you needed (a) at least five Ferraris in your collection and (b) a first-name-terms relationship with FerrariChairman Luca Di Montezemolo, who personally approved all 499 owners”.
