LaFerrari Spotted Laying Laps at the Nurburgring

Ferrari was spied at the Green Hell early this morning taking the Enzo-replacing LaFerrari for a jaunt on the vaunted circuit.

It’s still loud, still wearing a little camouflage and still very impressive. The limited-production Italian supercar bowed in Geneva months ago, which raises a couple of questions. Why is it still partially covered? Is there still something to hide? Previous reports from earlier in the summer suggested the car might not have entered production.

Ferrari will only build 599 of it’s narcissistically named halo car, and the company has more than enough hands raised to fill that order sheet. Maybe Ferrari isn’t so pleased with the car as its name would suggest.

Or maybe the laps have something to do with Porsche’s 918 Spyder shattering the lap time record earlier this month. Could the street-legal interpretations of Ferrari’s harrowing F1 technology meet or even beat Porsche’s new 6:57 lap time? Is this what life is like for a Ferrari engineer with spare time?
