As the name of the coffee drink Italians love so much - which relates to those part of The Order of Capuchin Friars - the nickname former lead singer of Van Halen gave to his new LaFerrari also means something. Why are we talking about espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam? Because that’s the color this one of only 499 hypercars is wearing.
A while ago - more than a year to be more precise, it was rumored that Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar is one of the lucky people who made it into the exclusive club of LaFerrari owners. According to Yahoo News, he recently got it delivered. Yes, it took engineers at Maranello that much to make it, but we find it quite natural considering we are looking at one of the best cars currently on the planet.

Can I get one, can I, can I?

Getting one of these beauties has little to none in common with how things go on in childhood, when you’d approach your dad with a sad face and ask for a scale model you saw at the mall. Nope, things don’t work that way when you’re talking about a seven-digits hypercar. You have to work hard for it, dream of it for years, just like Hagar did, apparently.

Was it worth the money? Yes. Worth the wait? Yes. I understand what this is all about, which is the Ferrari mystique,” Hagar told the source. “I’ve seen the same thing in rock bands over the years. Pink Floyd was no hype, all mystique. Led Zeppelin had huge mystique. There’s something to that.

It may not be a stairway to heaven, but once you push that ignition button, you can hear the blues kicking in. Because that’s what this machine is to any petrolhead’s ears, a blues with race accents. In terms of specifics, Hagar did commission Ferrari with a couple of things, such as the custom-crafted driver’s seat and a color finish that relates to the Hagars’ jet.

Now that is what you call Rockstar lifestyle!
