demographics of a ferrari/lambo/maser owner

[tali1]

my first post
what are the demographics of a ferrari/lambo/maser owner especially when buying new?- of course they're all petrolheads and v rich - but are they similar? i would reckon a generally high average age for all 45plus?
noticed that lambos are in more lary colours- something ferrari never do - despite being very similar cars
intresting to see what others think

I really, really betcha they ain't!

demog. for this (ancient) Lambo owner now just (more ancient) 45 and a half and I made barely £1.23 last year and hope to better that by some 37p this year - mind you, haven't quite put my order in for a Murciélago SV just yet, not quite this week

ps welcome to PistonHeads!

Have to say that the majority of Lambo owners I know are under 40. Sure, I know a few older than that, but I wouldn't put the average age at 45.

Can't speak for Fezza owners though - perhaps they just act middle aged.

All of them petrolheads?

Lambo owners are loud and proud.

Demographics are always a difficult one especially without any hard facts....

I didn't buy new so don't know if I qualify but I'm 27 and have a Lambo and someone I know also recently bought one and he is 25.

I would say the mean age has come down considerably in the last ten years or so, especially with more "young" people making it in business etc.

Plus you have alot of footballers (or sports people) etc buying these cars so I would guess for either marque the avg age would be approaching mid 30's

This is just a guesstimate

I'd say it's very difficult to generalise about Lambo demographics. There doesn't appear to be a hard and fast rule (other than that we like our cars hard and fast ).

I've learnt never to ask someone's age or occupation. Both are irrelevant and often lead to false assumptions.

I'm feeling a bit 'Zen' today... obviously.

What you find it too depressing??

Your card is already marked, Doug. Don't make things worse.

I always got the impression that most Lambo owners are down to earth petrol heads whereas Ferrari like Porsche attracts a larger share of the "Got a big bonus this year what's the car I'm supposed to have?" City boys. I work in the City & can vouch for the number of guys who buy 911 tips based purely on the colour! They spendd the summer months with their shades on driving past shop windows so that they can see their own reflection!

Really?

I've had a fist full of both Lambos and Ferrari's. Guess that makes me an old git and a city boy.....

Hell - I work hard - and just like cars.

But I do have an extensive sunglass collection!

HOW YOU GETTING ON WITH THE 550WSR ANJUM?

If it helps, I'm a 61 year old bald guy about 21.5 stone, about to undergo the first stage of my sex change op.

I was a priest up until about 2 years ago but got caught. I've now started an internet dating agency for transsexuals and am earning enough to fund my passion for Italian cars and whippet racing.

As I say, hope this doesn't skew your statistics too much

You're Mr Average.

I read a study a few months ago about this. I think it was from a legit source. Said the average age of a Porsche 911 owner is between 55-65 with an average annual income of $300,000 or more. Sounds about right. Though, I thought the annual income was maybe a little high. But must be the reality.

Am curious about the average age of a Lambo/Ferrari owner too. But the only way to know is to talk t a Lambo/Ferrari sales person.

Of course this means they are talking about people to made their own money and weren't given their cars from their parents. Or came into some money through a hefty inheritance and such. Which explains why the average age of a 911 owner is what was mentioned And said these men usually held jobs like "chief of surgery" or are some other medical specialist (e.g. plastic surgeon). Probably a few "entertainment lawyers", investment bankers...etc. As their incomes typically are around $300k+.

Also, I think they were implying these people guy their cars upfront. No payments. Otherwise they should have been able to buy the cars maybe in their late 30's or 40's already. If it only meant affording the downpayment and keeping up with the monthly payments.

Thanks for the update, i've been pondering over this thread for the past 10 years so good to finally get some closure.

Think Lambo say their average brandnew buyer worldwide owns 3 supercars.

[Never you mind]

Don't own a new Lambo but I am middle aged, beer bellied, country pumpkin. One day I might own a Ferrari but only when they make tractors.
