Frankly, as spectacular as all these cars are, and they really are, it’s all a big blurr. Call me when the LaFerrari successor is revealed. And, the icona models. That is what I’ll be excited to see.
I recently reread Ferrari's 2018 annual report. Much of what they give as guidance had been discussed on the forum, but the magnitude of their plans still seems difficult to evaluate. Will there be demand for the new models and price points? They certainly think so. But just read what they are proposing, and consider what it may mean for future depreciation. In the past buying a new model car was essentially free ownership for two years until production began to catch demand. With all the new cars planned that may be more challenging. Add to the the large number of newer model cars for sale, and it can be problematic to determine what true costs are. Finally, with larger production numbers and models, will service/reliability/build quality be challenged? Here's the management quote from the annual report. The quote appear exactly as written - I only added italics: As part of our growth strategy, we plan to broaden the range of our models to capture additional customer demand for different types of vehicles and modes of utilization. For example, we are currently planning to introduce 15 new models in the 2019-2022 period (which is unprecedented for Ferrari over a similar time period). We have recently introduced the Icona limited editions, a new concept that takes inspiration from our iconic cars of the past and interprets them in a modern way with innovative materials and innovative technology. In the GT range, we are developing a luxury high performance vehicle, the Purosangue, and we are planning a new line of cars powered by V6 engines. In addition, we will gradually but rapidly expand the use of hybrid technology in our road cars, consistent with customer preferences and broader industry trends. While we will seek to ensure that these changes remain fully consistent with the Ferrari car identity, we cannot be certain that they will prove profitable and commercially successful.
It's beautiful! Not a coincidence it looks similar to a 612. They finally have a smooth and elegant GT design again. Image Unavailable, Please Login Who still wants a Lusso T?
I'm not a "elegant GT' aficionado (I personally love the sports cars), but I do think it's beautiful, and it's the best looking in the category.
This indirectly echoes an earlier comment of only 3 new launches next year https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ferrari-slow-range-expansion-2 It also contains the suggestion that the Roma will not be hybridised The F8 launched in early 2019 at Geneva so it seems unlikely that Baby Brother its hybrid replacement will come out before March 2021 So the third 2020 car could be another from the SP1/SP2 price range
The production of the Monza is started and they are making 1 car a day if I’m correct. So this will be finished next year. 812 VS geneve New icona middle of the year 812 VS (spider) end of the year That would be a pretty nice year Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met FerrariChat
I'm more excited about the regular models. I at least have a chance of getting an used 458/488/F8/Portofino/Roma. I have no chance of getting an used Enzo, F40, LaF.

Expect it early 2021.'Little Brother' Ferrari says they will not introduce hybrid onto Roma, even though it is technically possible.They talking about a 7 or 8 year cycle for the Roma. So should end up as one of the very last non Hybrid Ferraris ,joining F8 as probably the last mid engine non Hybrid.
there will be only three new unveilings in 2020. in 90+ days we're going to see the no 6 in geneva! besides these scheduled 3 cars they may reveal some one-offs. and next year finali mondiali will be in abu-dhabi. remember the fxxk was unveiled in abudhabi in 2014. so will they show sf90xx there?
