Ferrari have released a new video to celebrate the launch of their limited edition LaFerrari Aperta supercar.

The video shows Scuderia Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel driving the LaFerrari Aperta through Barcelona and on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, passing reflections of some of Ferrari's most iconic cars.

The cars included in the video alongside the LaFerrari Aperta are the 125 S (the first Ferrari), the 375 F1, the 250 TestaRossa, the 250 GTO, the 330 P4, Gilles Villeneuve's 312 T4, and Michael Schumacher's F2004.

Only 209 LaFerrari Apertas will be made, 200 for customers, and nine for Ferrari to use during their 70th anniversary celebrations, and all were sold ahead of last week's unveiling of the car at the Paris motorshow.

Like the coupé LaFerrari revealed in 2013, the LaFerrari Aperta features a hybrid-assisted V12 engine which produces 950 horsepower and is capable of a top speed in excess of 217 miles per hour.

The chassis has been modified extensively to allow the open-top LaFerrari Aperta to have the same performance as its hardtop counterpart.

No prices have been revealed for the sold-out supercar, but it is said to cost in the region of £3 million (€3.4 million).
