Buy a Ferrari like this? It’s not a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The price of this supercar is comparable only to its rarity on the market: this is why enthusiasts fight over it.
We know it by now limited editions of some models of Ferrari are expensive like few other cars in the world. Some even broke real auction records some time ago. This, for example, will not be the most expensive in an absolute sense but it is undoubtedly far beyond the possibilities of many Italian motorists, seeing is believing: it costs as much as a luxury villa by the sea.
Always her…
There is a reason why among the many Italian manufacturers who have lined up memorable supercars such as Maserati, Pagani, Lamborghini over the years and we could mention many more, even among the lesser-known ones that perhaps operate as craft companies, there is always and in any case Ferrari to unleash supercar enthusiasts when one of his cars goes on sale online or in some organized auction.
The Italian house certainly deserves its stellar reputationalso maintained thanks to strict rules that customers must unquestioningly respect, but some Redheads are arguably more sought after than others. For example, the various versions of the 250 are among the most expensive cars in the world with price tags well in excess of $10 million per unit. Today’s one costs a lot, for example.
Limited edition
Taking the place of a legendary car like the Ferrari F40 which practically single-handedly represented the European supercar with its outstanding lines and simply monstrous performance for its time – but also for today! – was by no means an easy undertaking. Perhaps also for this Ferrari took two smart decisions in the nineties: his heir would not have replaced it immediately but gradually… and it would have been a road Formula One, from an engine point of view.
The mighty Ferrari F50 from 1992 remains one of the most impressive supercars released in the nineties and in a broad sense one of the Ferrari cars with the highest customer appeal to the point that among its buyers we find many professional pilots including Tiff Needell who also boasts an official Formula One GP raced in the 1980 season in place of Clay Regazzoni: “There is no difference between this car and a Formula 1”Needell would have said about the F50.
It costs like a villa…
With a similar reputation and only 349 examples produced in a few years, the F50 is rightly one of the rarest and most sought-after beasts on the Prancing Horse second-hand market with millionaire prices. The car after all it wasn’t for everyone with a 520 horsepower V12, a chassis that required 2,000 hours of work before seeing the light and the lack of systems such as ABS which made it clear that the car was destined for very special customers…
As it happens, a specimen is going up for auction right on Black Friday, directly from the homeland of American supercars: Miami, a land of swamps, flamingos and sports cars that they whiz along the waterfront under the scorching summer sun. Sure, it’s winter but who cares: you can always keep the car as a summer surprise for your friends.
The supercar in the photo is original and comes with all the necessary documentation including serial number 008/349, in practice it should be the eighth example ever produced, serial number of the certified engine and above all certification from 2014 in the Ferrari Red Book that encompasses all cars produced by the house.
Now, let’s move on to the sore points: you won’t take this car home taking advantage of the 30% Black Friday discounts and that’s a fact. But even with the sales, absorbing an expected expenditure that fluctuates between 5.5 and 6.5 million dollars will not be so easy. Let’s leave it to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to contend for this masterpiece on wheelsfor this time. Perhaps, the next summer sale will be the right time.
