Replacing the chassis on the iconic Ferrari LaFerrari after a serious crash will cost a monumental £636,604.15 – equating to R15,137,801,26 at current exchange rates.
This is about 64% of the hypercar’s original asking price of £1.0 million (R23.8 million), however, it might be worth paying if you’re adamant about keeping a LaFerrari in your garage.
Presently, there are only a handful available on the planet out of the original 499 coupes and 210 convertibles that were built between 2013 and 2018, and even the most affordable one on the used market is teetering on R67 million.
There was a 500th LaFerrari coupe that was produced, too, which brought in an impressive $7 million (R132.4 million) at auction to benefit earthquake victims in Italy, but we’re willing to bet that it won’t hit the market any time soon again.

Scuderia Car Parts has hundreds of components of the prancing horse listed covering all bases, from its naked architecture to electrical wiring to cosmetics.
The complete engine and gearbox will set you back £77,147.95 (R1.82 million) and £89,797.65 (R2.12 million), respectively, the winged doors are selling at £74,468.46 (R1.76 million) not including the mechanisms that open them, a front bumper runs for £30,760.49 (R726,000), and the rear-view mirror inside the cabin can be replaced for £6,587.08 (R155,000).
Even the fuel filler and charger caps go for a steep £1,535.86 (R36,250) each.
It’s safe to say that in the sum of its parts, the LaFerrari will likely be more expensive to rebuild today than it ever was to purchase for the original owners.

A successor on the horizon
Those with the financial means but without the necessary connections to get a LaFerrari can rejoice, as a successor to the legendary hybrid is on the horizon.
US-based Motor1.com reported that a new Ferrari hypercar is in development that will be the brand’s pinnacle for the next decade, just like the LaFerrari that came before it, which took the helm from the Enzo.
The new model is still under heavy camouflage as its debut is only scheduled for 2024, but it is expected to have aggressive styling that takes inspiration from the 296 GTB and SF 90, a hybrid V6 powertrain, and once again, a highly limited production run of 599 coupes and 199 convertibles.
