Ferrari F40's & F50's

There were (at least) 51 more Enzo's built than F-50's. Exclusivity will play a role in values there for the foreseeable future. Although a few of each have sadly bit the dust slightly changeing things. I would say for the folks with the desire and means, the hunt for the car will be the challange rather than the opening of the wallet further, and thus the F-50 prices will enter the same neighborhood as the Enzo.

 

You're a bit off on the values unless by a few bucks you mean $400k-500k

The F50 is rare with only 349 produced and as time goes on rare cars tend to work their way into the hands of collectors. So comparable sales are few and far between. As for why people like the car, a couple of the owners have written about their F50 experiences in detail, just search.

 

Hi, I don't own a Ferrari right now, but let me offer my 2 cents.

1. The F50 is not the same car as the Enzo. The Enzo's arrival didn't make the F50 obsolete.

2. Having a million dollars in your hand does not guarantee you an Enzo.

Well, someone just paid $2.1m for a brown Lusso, so apparently 'newest' and 'fastest' aren't the whole story. If it was my money, I'd go after a 250 GT SWB, Daytona Spyder, or something equally breathtaking. IMO, those are irreplaceable, legendary cars.

But with <500 Enzos around it doesn't take that many guys to like them to keep prices up.

 

While the F40, F50, and Enzo are all Ferrari "supercars", it seems they represent three different decades. Scarcity creates value, any serious collector would want one of each. The F50 is the most rare of the three, and old enough now that there are differences in condition between worst and best of that particluar model. Collectors will want the best and be willing to pay if they can find it. It also offers something the others do not: it is perhaps the ultimate convertible vehicle.

With that said, my personal favorite of all the supercars isn't any of these, but rather the 288GTO. They have already doubled in value in the last few years, and I would expect them to surpass the F40 in value on average in the next decade.

 

Not to sure about that....

 

Not sure 288GTO values have doubled, certainly increased a good amount. They are currently at least equal to F40s if not more. I think there are fewer people chasing them than the F40 and fewer cars available so the market is harder to judge, but I'd say current market on a good 288 in the US is right around 600K (perhaps up to 700 for a super low mileage car). I see F40s at 5-550 for a US car.

I too see them as 1m$ cars in the future

 

288 GTO already more than the F40 and the gap is widening. My view is neutral as I have one of each

 

cost more an f40 or f50?

 

Ultra special car owner was Steve McQueen. Buyer bought the provenance not the car, your comparison is whack.

 

F50 is twice as desireale as the F40, and they are priced that way.

 

Twice as desirable, or almost 4X as rare?

Now who's whack?

 

Say what? They made less F50's, that's why, simple as that....

 

Not really. If correspondingly more people wanted the F40 it would make no difference
