    Hello everyone, I am the owner of a Ferrari 360 and have been on this forum for a long time. I develop apps and the Signs-Relationship App I developed and sell in the Apple Store has changed my life financially. Are there any LeFerrari Owners who can give me some thoughts on purchasing one as my first hypercar? I am trying to choose between it and a Speciale Aperta. I am a driver and would be putting decent miles on either one. I do not care about depreciation or maintenance cost.

    Thank you for your time,

    Not an owner but LaFerrari is hybrid with associated problem potential - go Speciale Aperta more fun and more useable - one thing to bear in mind is both have a level of collectability which means use will impact value due to increased mileage - for a statement car (V12s are special) you might want to consider something like an 812GTS and see how you get on

    both will depreciate tons if you put any miles on them, i'd go for the aperta personally though - if you're moving up from a 360 then it'll be an absolute thrill for you :)

    I have both and they are in separate classes. The Spec A is a collectible and the La is a supercar. The price reflects that. Since you state money is not an issue, the LaFerrari is the halo car, better yet the La Ferrari Aperta. Then get an FXXK Evo and join us in that program. I am just returning from Paul Ricard where we had two great and fun track days.

    Both cars I find easy to drive on the streets and highways. I must say that I feel the La Ferrari Aperta is a special event car whereas I would drive the Speciale A more freely. This simply comes down to a $5 million versus a less than $1 million car.

    If money is really not an issue, I would acquire more than just the one car. Variety is a good thing. I spend an inordinate amount of time deciding which car to drive each day, both on street and track.

    Congratulations!!

    Every car has its issues. In the case of the LF its the battery- Ferrari offers a warranty program- I would advise purchasing a car with it, or your deal reflect the cost.

    Thank you everyone! This is very exciting for me, I think I am going to just get both. The app I created is in the Apple Store under that name and is consistently ranked at around 1 out of 657,000 other apps in the store and has only been out since 9/30/2022. I am a criminal profiler and I created the first Relationship Assessment that uses a questionnaire format to ask situation-based questions to test for Sociopath/True Narcissism. Some of the questions are extreme behaviors but a true Sociopath is extreme.....the sociopaths I profile are similar to the creature from the movie Alien.....it's very nature is a lack of compassion and empathy so it's very existence is a threat to you. It's a very different dichotomy than say some guy that is slightly arrogant during a sales meeting. By creating this app I am selling an unbelievably amount of units in 37 countries and have become one of the most profitable new accounts with Apple. I really appreciate some of the Dm's I received from members in such a short time, explaining to me how Ferraris at this level perform. I look forward to posting my Leferrari when I purchase it sometime this winter. I will be working with Cauley Ferrari to make this happen. Thank you and I look forward to joining this Elite Brotherhood soon!

    It's so ironic, post like yours are way I have become a millionaire after my first launch day. Instead of doing any do diligence into looking at my profile (active here for 12 years and freely give information in the 360/430 forum), or send me a PM, you decided to write a public comment questioning my intentions......because I need publicity in a very very very very small part of the Ferrarichat Forum while my product is on the first page of App Store Top 100 and trending top 1000 in close to a dozen countries.

    I posted in here because I am 34 and have never seen money like this before, I am making MILLIONS a day, my life is completely changed, I am getting staggering offers from companies for the chance to get a hand of my Algorithm, I basically changed in industry. With that said, I wanted legit information from owners and it is not exactly easy to come across a Leferrari Owner or Aperta Owner. Going from a modded 360 to a LeFerrari is an insane jump for me, but I make enough money to buy a Leferrari every 15-19 hours depending on units in Australia. I do not usually get offended (comes with the territory), but I wonder how most people would handle being 34 years old and going from making 115k-145k to making that much money sometimes every 20 minutes. However, I get it, and I will shoot you a message when I get my LeFerrari, because I know their are liars.....but I most certainly am not 1.

    I am pleased for your success but maybe you could check your math - are you sure your app is selling millions per day for the past few days - each for just 0.99c when somehow it is showing as only #81 in Lifestyle and there are stats on the internet suggesting the top 200 overall average only $ 82500 per day

    As an aside it seems somewhat unwise to make long term lifestyle choices based on so small a snapshot - a bit like winning the lottery - it might happen once but it is not a sustainable income

    Look at this chart and compare it to the value of the relative companies, the figure you gave makes no sense. At the level I am on I am paid in Units moved per day around the world (number is usually between 4-11), that is about all I am going to disclose on a public forum about how this world works.

    I don’t understand why millions of people every day would be buying an app to check for being a sociopath.. but if it’s true and if it’s sustainable good for you.

    Just don’t forget to save 50%+ for the tax man…

    Edit: obviously not completely sustainable. If you made millions a day for a whole year that’s $365m+ in a year. More than almost anyone on earth. Not saying you aren’t being truthful, but don’t assume it will last long.

    You are correct, my mistake. It is still a very nice income but the chart I: was giving did not account for certain expenses. Sorry about that. I am still learning. I realize I have to be careful because this is like winning the lottery and after the initial push it will not last. #save the money and get a Rari.

    I would do what Twosherpaz suggested. Get an FXXK and join the XX program. AS much as i love the road cars, it's just impossible to really enjoy them on open roads. You can maybe push it to 100mph and that's about it. But forget about actually testing the handling of the car and the braking..Nowhere to do that other than the track. And that's what the FXXK is built for.
    Of course, you can always buy a Laferrari for the road and the FXXK for the track.

    Congratulations on the success- that is fantastic!

    I would also do the Ferrari Corsa Pilota program. Its impossible to predict where values go, but my thinking is we are coming out of a time of easy money to less easy and the world is also a difficult place, with all that said, I think I would look at the LF coupe unless you can find a really tempting Aperta. Keep your eyes open for an Aperta and when you can make the swap or keep both.

    I also think you should go try a Ferrari from the 50s/60s- they are a totally different type of fun.

    Sorry but something is off with your story. The Apple Paid Application Agreement that all developers agree to stipulates that payments for a calendar month's sales are paid out within 45 days of the end of that previous calendar month. If you launched your app on 9/30 as you said, then it is only possible to have 1 days worth of sales (or fewer, depending on if internally the sales times are registered by local time or GMT 0). Its also very unlikely that in the week since the end of the last month you would have gotten your first payment from Apple.

    Interesting. You have been on this forum for such a small time and this is your 8th post. Interesting. I meant to say the Monday. But don’t worry about it ‍♂️

    You may need to check your eyes, I've only been here for a month :)

    Edit: Looks like you edited your post after noticing. Still I don't see a point in lying about it and editing your posts to change your narrative.

    Definitely, So what Ferrari do you actually own? Going from a 360 to a 458 is a dramatic move. I can't imagine going into the hypercar level.

    Millions per day but buy a couple of used 458s instead?

    Based on your last few replies I think you may need to do your app test on yourself......

    I expect an aggressive reply. People have gone out of their way to answer your initial question from their own first hand experience, I hope their time has not been wasted, this is a very helpful subforum that rarely differentiates between simple enthusiasts like myself and actual owners of these dream cars.

    My dealer advised me to start slow because my situation mimics that of a lottery winner or professional athlete on its surface and jumping right into the best Ferrari from day 1 might not be the most logical way to enjoy the brand. So, we are starting with the 458, track days, etc and slowly moving through the brand and enjoying the difference and similarities of all the models.

    You see their is a massive information change where concepts and videos that are currently 3-5 clicks to access on the internet are slowly being turned into apps. If a video on youtube or an article has a sizeable following (easy data to pull up), it will be replaced by an app in the future. The only fans fee structure has laid down the ground work of understanding just how much money you can make by selling a digital product worldwide, instantly, for little cost, I expect that we will see many more Billionaires in the future based off of the number of people in my industry that realize the abundant potential of putting an app in the app store (not much to produce if a team of people group fund development), than you put it in the app store, and put the links to the app in group Facebook Groups, Message Boards, or anywhere where the target audience is.

    I do not think most people understand how this game works. With Apps the product is sold globally, and in every language that Google or Apple has available. So we are literally selling a .99 product to the entire world! My app is ranked high in Australia and this is just me. Creators all over their world are seeing that content creation on YouTube is not the way to go, and instead selling packaged knowledge in the form of an app has limitless potential. Which is why it is not strange to me that Models on Only Fans can bring in 8 figures a day, since they are selling a product to the entire world.

    For instance, if their was a detailed app in the app store about how to perform the Belt Service on a 355/360 and all that was needed was to download the link to the app, the creator is cutting down multiple steps to access the information and he is selling the convince and knowledge across the world. Once you understand that information is truly the most valuable resource you can see the astronomical value of selling information through an app for .99-$3.99 to the entire world.
