Ferrari F8 - Rarer than a Pista? Supercar Driver 4K

Thanks for posting.

 

I've seen a LOT more F8s on the road than Pistas...

 

The last national FCA I attended in 2023, there were a half dozen F8's there at least and only 1 Pista. Maybe 100 cars or so attended?

 

One of the comments: “Gently manipulating his own car model’s value upwards”

Have to give him credit for trying. Great car but unfortunately, not that rare.

Great video thanks for posting

 

I agree that bumpy road setting hard to tell the difference; however,
Pista is more elusive and iconic that F8 no argument there,
F8 is a beauty but not rare

 

I saw a beautiful White F8 today in Santa Monica. Gorgeous car but still prefer the Pista and 488 over it.

 

I have no actual data on compared rarity between Pista and F8 - however the rarity on the road of the Pista is probably artificially increased by the fact that now, it's considered by many as an investment and not as a usable car. Obviously the F8 has not experienced the same surge in value, so owners still dare to use them...

 

Nice video for sure but does anyone have factual stats on how many F8 and Pista were built by Ferrari?

 

Part of the mystery. Ferrari math is always creative

 

F8 over Pista.
488/Pista is and remain outdated.

 

And actual HP

 

Noticed that F8's and 296GTB are basically the same price now.... unless the F8 has a lot ( in Ferrari world) miles on it....but most F8's Tributo's are advertised on Ferrari dealers around $340-$380K and 296GTB pretty much fall right in line around $350-$380K.

There are outliers + or - those prices. There are some 296GTB's that show a window sticker of $425-$460k advertised for $$360-380k with low miles.

 

In Europe the 296 GTB are now typically advertised for less than the F8 tributo.
The 296 offers a lot more performance, and it's a lot newer (the F8 is based on a rather aged platform). I think potential buyers are still afraid by the added complexity.

 

I think and hear the complex 296 along with other things about the car are causing loss in value. Doesn't matter to me as I really am too tall for a 296 when I sat in the launch car at my dealer a couple years back. Have of us at the event didn't fit real good in the 296.

 

It’s not the complexity. It’s the V6.

 

Not so sure about that, the SF90 with a V8 has also a hard time on the second hand market.
Not as bad as the 296, but because of a higher positionning, maybe buyers consider a more occasional use than for the 296 and therefore are less cautious about complexity and potential lack of reliability.

 

Perhaps. Or maybe the 296 is just an awkwardly styled, over priced V6. Enzo would not approve.

 

I would add that the 296 has a design complexity that probably hurts it's resale value.

It's not the first thing you think of when you think Ferrari or even sports car in general. Not saying that it doesn't look great, but I would assume most people, especially non fanatic car people, gravitate to the f8 or SF90 body style more.

 

About $40,000 over when the buy fee is included.

 

But the sale didn’t finalize right? So you kind of have to attach an asterisk next to that sale?
