Total Production Number

In response to some previous posts, I did a very quick 'down-and-dirty' count of all cars (including Dinos) produced by Ferrari to date.

I come up with about 130,000.

Since Ferrari has been in business for about 65 years, that means about 2,000 cars per year on average.

However, in the early days the numbers produced in a year were less than 100. Now they are over 4,000.

For example, the last Daytonas built in the early 1970s (25 years of prodcution) were about the 10,000th Ferraris ever made. So, 400 cpy on average for the first 25 years. Just think about how many models were before the Daytonas (all those 250 variants, the 330s, and the 275s, not to mention the really rare stuff like 166s, 212s, etc. etc.) and therefore how rare those models must be. All of those cars together represent about 10,000 production. In the modern world, Ferrari built almost 20,000 360s (of all variants).

This may give some of you younger guys a feel for how rare the early cars really are, and why they command such a $ premium. No supply.

 

Total Dino production was more like 4,000 I beleive.

This is not counting the Fiat Dinos.

So, your number is something like 145,000.

I admit I likely did not factor in enough cars for the past couple of years, so that explains the difference of 130 to 145.

It makes no difference to this discussion, but the race cars did have even numbers. So few that it doesn't matter.

 

I did not include the GT4s in my Dino count.
