    Hey guys, wanted to understand the difference of 'production' series

    So, what I thought I understood was

    Regular Production - 458/488/F8 cars
    Series Production - Speciale/Pista cars
    Limited Production - GTO/TDF/458A cars

    So the SF90 is a Series Production vehicle correct? So fellow F-chatters are saying this is an unlimited production? While Speciale and Pistas were not limited, not everyone 'could' get one. So is the SF90 the same? Do we expect to see about 3000 or so of these to be built in its lifetime?

    Thanks

    No. This is a regular production car. Anyone that wants one will eventually get one. Just talk to your dealer and get in line.

    My dealer told me they had no information about how many of these would be produced, but predicted it to be limited.

    I've been told "everyone" can buy it, but they will prioritize customers with a good record and who owns special cars. So a person who recently bought a Portofino will probably not get one right away since most allocations given to each dealers will then be given to customers who own V12's or other special cars. This is what I've been told, and I've heard that dealers have recieved lists from Ferrari with names of customers who are "qualified" to buy one.

    So people who have little or no history with Ferrari can buy one, but have to wait longer in line. This might not be true, but at least what I've been told.

    The car has a limited production run, like every other model, but it's not limited in form of units. They will produce as many as they sell within it's production run.

    Like in other threads here:

    After the presentation today, my guess - the SF90 Stradale will be „sold out“ end of next week

    Depends also on pricing $500-700 is a big spread.Ferrari themselves call it a 'mass production' car so looking at 4 year run.They will build as many as they can sell no doubt.

    Hi, this is my first post. I think #Ferrari 308 Vetro is right, will be sold out as soon as Asia and US can order as well. I heard it will be produced only for 1 year, we will see if this is true.

    Produce less, charge more. Probably not a bad business philosophy....

    I would be concerned about repair costs after the warranty has expired. Hybrid tech replacement costs are bound to make a belt change on a 308 seem laughable o_O

    I was thinking the same thing. How much is a battery change in the Laferrari? Not sure if its apples to apples here in terms of the complexity but doesn't bode well if in same price range.

    I guess the actual secondary market logic will change big time in the coming future and depreciation will increase a lot.

    Not only because of the rhythm new cars are being launched (more offer, more technological obsolescence) but also due to the cost of battery/electric motors replacements plus the normal maintenance of the car (ICE+transmission+brakes+tires+sticky-buttons:rolleyes:) will make it nearly impossible for the usual secondary market clients to afford.

    Plus, IMO the hybrid thing is transitional until manufacturers (and energy suppliers) can provide complete electric/H2 tech > regulations will always enforce the next big thing.

    Hence:

    less iconic models + more offer (high number of models/transitional tech) + less demand (more people in the world but without buying power for the secondary market) + high running costs (more tech) => higher depreciation

    Hybrid can never be lesser than a full EV. An ICE has so much soul and Ferrari DNA. There is just no real distinction between electric motors from different brands. I am sure they will always produce an ICE of some sort.

    You are right of course. However, the younger crowd cares more about numbers and emissions. Once the 4-motors are common you are looking at 2k hp and 2k torque. Sound already died with the turbos. Looking forward to a sea of boring quit cars and then in the distance a crazy loud and shotgun shifting V12 Ferrari. Babies will cry and dogs will bark. Some will still care.
