I know what you mean. Back in the day when cars were more bland like the Countach it was NEVER about style/show.

So every YouTuber/Grammer/Rapper etc has one of these incredibly rare cars?

Using my. Countach analogy, almost 2000 were made. How many LaFerraris were made? I can't see the Countach being rarer back then as what these will be, as you suggest.

What a bizarre comment. I'm sure if a Ferrari dealer told someone they had to buy an F8 but after testing that person preferred a Huracan I'm pretty sure that despite the fact their Ferrari dealer told them to get the Ferrari they'd still end up with the Huracan......
Its called marketing.

It's likely that the car photographed is a LaF; Ferrari often test the next generation powertrain in a mule made from the current generation car.

The reality is, as Ross is pointing out, the cars are just as rare (if not more rare with the hypercars) now the difference is that between social media and general media they are a lot more visible to the world. Also, if you're being realistic, a lot of them are more drivable on a day to day basis so you actually see them more rather than them being some mythical item owned by the rich and famous.
