    Did you have any specific information about this? Are you referring to a mid-rear engine V12 hybrid?
    In my opinion, that would be great.

    I agree, normal depreciation has always existed. Even in the VS cars.
    In the last seven or eight years, with the discontinuation of the V8 N/A and rumors of the end of the V12, a culture of hyper-speculation has developed around models considered the "last of their kind."
    An example of this change is the fact that, in 2009, when the 458 Italia was launched, the 430 Scuds underwent normal depreciation until the average price stabilized. Today, even with the launch of the 12C, we see 812 Competiziones at exorbitant prices, reaching levels similar to the MRSP of an SP3 at launch.
    This has attracted many speculators, and it has become a culture, with customers buying regular versions with an investment bias.
    But depreciation continues to occur normally, and this has frustrated many people who were counting on a non-depreciation that cannot actually exist.
    Ferraris (and sports cars in general) aren't investments, but rather something you buy to enjoy, a life achievement. It's possible that the car depreciates less, and the average price stabilizes, but this is a matter of circumstance; it shouldn't be the primary focus of the purchase.

    Did the Scud stabilize or the economy - rates dropped / prices went up
    Fast forward US prints 5 Trillion / interest stays low - fast forward again high rates low consumer confidence drives down secondary markets.
    I think it's the economy that affects the secondary market - let's face it every dealer has every allocation sold for the next few years.

    I don't have any info - the V12 is at max hp. they have to go hybrid, my guess it will be a smaller hybrid with the V12 but hybrid for sure.
