How hard would it be for Ferrari to pretend to have the car sold back to them capped at list price. So that they can sell it on to another enthusiast to enjoy at list price. And so on and so forth. So that more drivers get to enjoy these awesome things.
if they wanted to solve speculation they could simply put them on a FXX type revolving PCP program where you 'lease' the car from Ferrari and they maintain ownership.I suspect their attempts to stop immediate speculators flipping with clawback provisions is more about plcataing the numerous customers who don't make the short list from complaining all the cars are going to flippers, but beyond that Ferrari is probably quite happy to see their car values through the roof as it continues to drive dejahd from bottom up and makes it easier for them to get away with charging 25k euros for a carbon fibre ashtray because 488 owhers are getting a 'bargain' compared to the price of a LaF
Question is what sort of investment potential does it have now?...if you bought it say for £2.6m, has it peaked...where are they going in 5 years time, could they go to £3.6m etc?
maybe if you are brave enough there is still a further good return to be had...now where did I leave that crystal ball!

i think the market has topped out. The problem with the 'greater fool theory' is eventually run out of fools. I look at that price for a laF and think 'i'll take the P1 at 1.6 and buy a F12 instead.' - it's a great car but there's not a chance in hell its worth a 1 million premium over the P1 and in terms of numbers the LaF isnt 250GTO rare and will be immediately downgraded to bridesmaid status by whatever hypercar Ferrari release next.maybe if you are brave enough there is still a further good return to be had...now where did I leave that crystal ball!
At the moment its a halo car, but like the enzo it will lose its youtube premiership on the next release and sadly a lot of these cars are bought by young wealthy sorts for their ability to rack up social media likes - the murcielago now is a firmly forgotten ancestor of the FOTM aventdor but not into diablo classic territory. I mean how isit not a bubble when the F50 is now asking 2,1 million yet used to be considered a worse buy than the F40 and was deeply unloved. The 512TR disliked enough that they didnt sell at 45k now at 200k+?
They will appreciate in the long term - thats just inflation and increased rarity as cars get destroyed, but i think at the moment speculator profiteering is driving prices not any underlying market forces. Personally I'd buy a F12 - compared with other valuations anything still in production looks like a bargain.

F50 wasn't universally loved when it came out as very few people actually got to drive it. Very few journalist tests were offered and the looks were subjective. Also being a spider people automatically thought it was soft and just a posers car compared with the F40.F40 is an iconic car and also the last Ferrari signed off by the Old Man himself. But it's a V8 Turbo and built in far greater numbers than the F50.
I think the F50 should command significantly more than the F40. N/A V12, carbon tub and rare. Also supposedly a better drove than the F40.

My biggest question with the current hybrid hyper cars is, when we eventually go to full electric, will the hybrids be the Betamax of motoring? They're not petrol, not electric, just a part of the evolution that won't be relevant for long?
Electric cars drive very differently than the hyper hybrids. They will have their place and I think remembered very favourably. At least I will!
