In designing the LaFerrari's body, engineers concentrated on saving weight wherever possible. For instance, the seat structures are actually part of the car's chassis. A total of four different types of carbon fiber are used to build the body.
Ferrari will sell just 499 of these cars, each expected to be priced at over $1 million, although the final price has not been announced yet.
