RM Sotheby\u2019s is offering a rare piece of Ferrari development history during Monterey Car Week: the 2011 Ferrari LaFerrari Prototype M4, expected to fetch between $900,000 and $1,200,000 USD. Internally referred to as \u201cF150 Muletto M4,\u201d this early test mule was part of the first phase of real-world development for the hybrid LaFerrari and features a hybrid V-12 powertrain mounted on a heavily modified 458 Italia chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the interior still resembles a 458, with black leather seats, tan carpets and a 9,000-rpm white tachometer, the car\u2019s dashboard toggle switch and high-voltage warning label hint at its experimental purpose. On the outside, aggressive design cues like exposed rivets, large front air intakes, mismatched brakes, side-mounted powertrain access hatches and high-rise air intakes make it unmistakably a prototype. Though not homologated for road or track use, this development mule represents a critical step in Ferrari\u2019s transition to hybrid hypercars and stands as a captivating collector\u2019s item for Ferrari enthusiasts. Bidding is set to open on August 15 as part of RM Sotheby\u2019s Monterey sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
