F60 America

Why limited to 80mph, never done that before with any other Ferrari soft top?

It's too early in the F12 life cycle for the droptop.. The SA Aperta (which was "limited" to 80) had 120+ produced.. sticker of 600k ish do the math on that That is not money they are going to leave on the table.

 

Heck I've just learnt something and hats of to Ferrari for being sensible and speed limiting a soft top. They are for cruising and being seen in after all.

I find it amusing when there's a special edition like this to see all the posts, as surely as night follows day, about how Ferrari is somehow pulling a fast one on dumb, rich guys.

These guys were smart enough to get rich in the first place but too stupid to know how much to spend on a car. They're gullible impulse buyers -- you dangle any old pretty bauble in front of them and they fall for it.

Yeah, that sounds right.

 

Very good point!

Why does anybody buy this car then?
Pete

 

PSk... my post refers to production amounts!... not sure what speed limits there were w/ temp Aperta roof.. that thing they gave you with the Barchetta was shocking...

 

Oh!
Pete

 

Lets see what these are worth 10 years from now.

I bet they hold their value.

When was the last time they did a V12 convertible or roadster in the regular production?

I can't think of one in modern times....

A run of 10 cars is very rare.

I think its very easy to be judgmental from behind a keyboard.

I say congratulations to the people who buy these.

Btw- they won't admit it but they made a few more 599 Aperta than the number you posted...

And they are going for over $1m now....

So if they stick to 10 of these I think they are on solid ground. Even if the price of entry is way too high for many of us (me included!).

 

Last of the Luca era cars.
That in and of itself may add value.

 

Beautiful.

And with 700+, red blooded, heart-pounding horses... they should call it the 'Murica!

 

And a Testarossa still can't cross over to being a 75 grand car.

 

P4/5 is NOT an SP, and it was closer to $4M. It was a great "bargain", especially considering what the prince offered him for it.

 

What is the prince story ? Let me guess... a Gulf state royal offered Jim the GDP of an african country to buy the P4/5 ?

 

Pretty much, he also wanted an additional 9 to be built.

 

I just don't see how this thing is going to cost the same as a LaF spider...

 

Eerie how the total amount of F60 revenue approximates di Montezemolo's severance package?

 

I prefer the regular F12 spider... It can look really good

I like it. No idea why only 10 though... Surely that's leaving a whole heap of $$$ on the table for no good reason?

The car I really want and so much better looking. Will they make it?

I hope so... there is clearly a market for that... let's look at the success of the Mid V8 spiders... All sports car have an open top version...

 

Nice - I'm on the same wish list - Held of on getting an F12 thinking maybe just maybe

 

I want one too. Does that make me fourth in line? I hope they only make five.

 

Answering my own question, I think they will make it. 10 f60s is not enough payback for the Spyder concept and we know Ferrari doesn't like to pass up money making opportunities.

 

The back reminds me of the fiat bravo
