lol....orders are being cancelled....I see no reason what so ever that this car will not follow the same deprecation curve as the 458. No need for discount just wait....IMHO

Might hang on for a TT. I'm more than confident that it will proportionally in the first 12 months equal the depreciation of the 458 and certainly over 4-5 years lose even more proportionally and in 10 years be worth a fiver where as the SP will still be sought after.
I await the reviews !

Agreed, especially when no-one has driven it!.

[LukeyLikey]

Shouldn't the tts have an 'i' for intercooler in the name somewhere?

Massively out perform it until you put a corner into the equation!

[APOLO1]

you can not seriously beleive that the 458 will out perform a 991TTS in the bends....Ill take that bet...any day

Well the standard 458 is according to Evo mag 4-5 seconds quicker a lap than the 997 turbo S around the Bedford Autodrome. The GT3 will be a quicker track car I've no doubt. Turbos never have been that good in the bends have they!

son, Morning
I am on about the 991 tts, with rear wheel steer and the H5 torque vectoring system. It is not right to compare the 2 in the same conversation. Go on tell me you are having laugh.....

now were are that Mcl lot.......

Starting arguments in here now are you?

Re pricing, challenge stradales, scuds and 16m's all have good residuals. The speciale will be no different.

Add to that the fact that this is likely to be the swansong for the normally aspirated V8 before Ferrari switch to turbos, and as a result will probably be viewed in the same light as the 4.0 GT3 RS with its last of the line Metzger engines and hence have similar residuals, and your argument looks even weaker.

As for your TTS, buy a copy of this months CAR magazine to see it lose a comparison by some margin to the GTR.

Nope
Only my views. 2 x 360cs, 1 x 430 Scud. 4 x 4.0 Rs

You comment with regard to values is perverse. I recall my 360 CS costing 137k and 142k and the Scud 189k...
Trying to compare the 458 with the 4.0 is just stupid....The 458 Sp was introduced in order to simulate sales for the 458 of with have dropped to zero in the UK well at least for the Coupe....Along with well over 30 SPs unsold.....The 458SP, will be 200k before its used up its 1t tank of fuel.IMHO

I Actually own the cars that I comment on. Do you? no.. what a surprise lol.... With regard to Car mag...If you believe what you read more fool you......
