If free, which of the 4 supercars would you pick?

+2

Enzo= F50 done right
288= F40 done right

These designs show no need for giant wings on a road car, race car ok, but road.....no

 

Enzo

288GTO

 

It's a guess, the Enzo will go down IMO due to it's not so pleasing looks. The 288 GTO is rare, just not "super" enough. I think the F40 and F50 will go up the most in the long haul....

 

When the wings are functional and look as good as they do it works for me. The 288 GTO didn't have anywhere near the performance of the F40 and IMO the F50 looks ten times better then the Enzo.

 

1) F40 all the way.
2) 288 GTO

 

F40 and F50 both great (can we choose all 4!), and wings are pure functional yes (looks are optional) just IMO( we all have) I like stealth ... Enzo or 288 in black please, like the engineering of aero on both, especially the Enzo!

 

Wouldn't give it a second thought -

F40

 

Q1: F40 (Enzo would be #1, but I have one)
Q2: Enzo for sure. People in their 30s-50s 20 years from now will want one to bring back memories when they were younger. The 288, F40 and F50 are before their time and don't have the same memories and media coverage when they were living.

Plus two or three new supercars will come out, and people will want the first (and only) one called ENZO... the one P 4/5 and FXX were based on. The first bullet-proof supercar with F1 technology. The only one worthy to be named after the founder. The one in the movies, Web sites, blogs, forums, etc. The one everyone knows.

BTW, we are already 20+ years out on some of these cars, so the general value order you see now will probably be the same in another 20 years for these relatively easy-to-find cars (i.e., Enzo > F50 > F40 > 288).

But don't buy one of these for appreciation. There are many other things that will appreciate far more in 20 years.

 

1- Enzo
2- 288 GTO
3- F50
4 -F40

 

1) F50

2) Enzo

 

1. F50
2. F50

 

Q1: F40, i wouldn't even hesitate.

Q2: Enzo

 

Q1: F40

Q2: Enzo for sure

 

I'm suprised at how many people would take the F50.

For me...
Q1. Enzo
Q2. Enzo.

1. F-50. I had one and I still get wood thinking about it.
2. 288GTO. Rare and First. A beast and a classic.

 

1. 288GTO
2. No idea. 20 years is so many lifetimes away

1) 288
2) F40

 

1) 288GTO

2) 288GTO
- lowest production quantities of any of the four
- historically has had the highest appreciation, just look at where they are now - came out at $85k and are well north of $500k (possibly $600k/$700k?)
- is the only one in that group designed for a racing series
- darn gorgeous
- was the culmination of a series (at the time the 308 held the highest prod quantities of any Ferrari)

Bill:

I agree, don't buy any Supercar expecting appreciation. But, some appreciate, and if they do, consider that a bonus.

However, your assessment of the "general value order" seen now, is not correct. It goes Enzo, F50, 288 GTO, then F40, from highest to lowest.

As to future values (or what people will want), anything you or I say, is pure speculation, fun though it is to speculate.

I also beg to differ that previous Supercars did not receive the same press coverage as the Enzo. In fact, I collect all magazines that cover all Supercars, and my archive extends from 1965 on with the launch of the almighty Miura. I can tell you that it appears that in fact the F40, for example, received MORE press coverage by far than the Enzo, given the adoration bestowed upon it by the press from 1987 to circa the early 90s.

 

1. Enzo
2. Who cares!? -kevin

 

I agree with these answers.

Me too.

Bill, I think the GTO will hold the most value (just my humble opinion), but hot damn did I enjoy reading your explanation on why you think the Enzo is the answer to the second question. Enzo FTW!

 

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding !!!!

We have a winner as to why the F40 will speculatively be worth more in 20 years time than all the rest.
