488 Replacement

over over

 

Have you not been reading this forum, how is the 488 the last v8 non hybrid?!?

Yeah, but that ignores the numbers of cars sold to Ferrari-only diehards and there are quite a lot of them. The thing is, the replacement and the new flagship aren't going to be very far apart, so it's unlikely the replacement has anything at all better or revolutionary. I don't think even the infotainment will have anything much different.

I'm looking at everyone in the last 5 years who has bought a $500K Ferrari, whether new at MSRP or used LE cars. Every TDF, Aperta, LF, GTO, even some Pista owners based on the prices we're seeing... tons of them had 458s and 488s and probably will continue to buy Ferraris. So, when the flagship hits, why would they also go out and buy the 488 replacement?

If you had a 720S in 2018 and the 570S came out in 2020, would you buy the 570S? Maybe people who used to be further down the line in allocation will just move up and pick up the slack, but we'll see...

 

Over 600k base?

 

Pls read again:
The 488 is the last before the very last ...

 

The worldwide number of potential buyers will continue to grow .
As long as F keep the production figures comparably low, there will be a steady demand for used cars.
10 years ago Porsche sold a few thousand GTs in 10 years.
Nowadays it’s 10 - 15000 per year.

 

clean design I would say

over but still 3 digits.......at least w/o options
I guess Pista price is going to be very good comparing with new comers

 

By "iconic" you mean the BB? Or an Icona?

 

I referred to post #2069 where reference to an „iconic“ is made.
Actually it is a well known „icona“ in Ferrari history.
The tailend ofthe 488 successor is said to be looking comparable...

 

So you were being sarcastic? Not sure...

 

No sarcasm at all.
The successor of the 488 is the very last V8 non-hybrid mid-engine Ferrari.
Likely the last of the 208/248,...360/430, 458/488 series.
SB may be V6 Hybrid („Dino“?), BB V8 Hybrid...

 

I think the base will be around 650k-750k. But the usual total price to be around 850k. But then a highly customized one's total price? Well, even I'm scared to guess. Sky is the limit.

 

Do you know the 0-60, 0-200, 0-300 times of the BB? Did they tell you anything about it?

 

WOW - "violent" for a production non LE car :{

 

True. It better be faster than the LaF for that price.

 

IMO your off base on your assumption It'll be closer to 500k base

 

Probably a lot closer to $500k than $750k.

The depreciation on a regular model $750k car would be insane, and the size of that market is way too small.

 

Does over 600k sound like closer to 500k to you?

 

LOL. I bet it's been the BB designers' motto from the scratch . So, don't worry.

 

The new V8 big brother will be priced around 450.000 more or less. Slightly above Aventador, but close.

 

sure? Mmm so 10% more than a Pista with 1.000hp......if it’s I will order one

 

I don't think it will be even close to 1000 hp. My guess is more like 830-850 hp. And I have been told base price will be above Aventador, but competitive. We must wait and see. It would not make any sense to price it above 550 in my opinion when the target is to make a car that fills the gap between mid-V8 and flagship V12 models.

 

There is always going to be a bigger , more powerful Ferrari. Some can play the upgrade game who have lots of cash and fund that lifestyle. Then there are others that cant. Me being one. Ive had the opportunity to buy 3 models ago but was never convinced that I liked it 100% until the 488 GTB came along. Remember we are also paying double to our USA mates.
The new face lifted 488 might have more power and possibly look a little better but I cant see myself going that path. The 488 GTB is PLENTY POWERFUL to me. And for those waiting to see the next model befor buying thinking it will be better well where do you stop. The next car will always be more powerful and looking at Hp figures only and speed compared to another models is useless. How much power do you need ?
For those contemplating going from a 458, or other previous models or their first Ferrari the new car should be an excellent choice and well timed.
To me the new BB In my eyes will be just another Ferrari like a Portofino, Lusso etc. mainly because of the rumoured car will be a 6 with electrics.
So having said that the 488 GTB is a car in Ferrari history like many others. The new facelift will have another name. Ferrari wont reference it to the 488 GTB. Its another car.
I plan to keep my car and drive it. Any depreciation is nill to me because im keeping the car

 

This is what I think too. I'm sure you'll be able to go crazy with $100-150K of options, but nice cars will be in the low 500s.
