    I perfectly understand your point but why do they apply that theory to the front engined v12 and not the mid engined V8 ?

    There are tons of ways to create exclusivity ; Special body (J50, sergio) Hardcore version, Ultra light hardcore versions, convertible hardcore versions, limited editions, and so and so

    I repeat that the V12 convertible is absolutely logical ans that model shound't be the "Victim" of that markteting theory you explained well

    What you say is true, Ferrari thinks like that but they are wrong according to the very important frog that I am

    Because the front engine V12 is the Ferrari flagship and exclusive by its vary nature. The base price already is huge. Mine was sticker at $400K. The mid-V8 is their high production unit and the open top just a normal variant to drive the exclusivity it lacks by not being the flagship, followed by the SE, followed by the LE, followed by the LE open top, etc.

    Ferrari has been saving the open tops on the V12s for the most exclusive versions. Last was the 599 GTO Aperta. Seen the price on those? They are all based on the production car as well. There is a whole different level when going extremely limited run like the F60 that was what, $3M or rumored much higher? All about exclusivity and different plan for each model in the lineup. Exclusivity in one of its lineup fuels the exclusivity of the overall brand which make more money than just making open tops in each model as a standard variant.

    It should be noted that the sweater created the 7oth anniversary across all models creating a high amount of exclusivity on totally production cars with fixed paint and interior. Genius!

    So a friend sent me this. The owner of the car says these are studded 325’s in the rear. I did ask permission to post this - no response - oh well

    Don’t know how to upload the short video clip I received as well

    IMO a vintage Ferrari has NOTHING on this car (except for value of course :)).

    I think the F12 is beautiful- both versions- but I think vintage cars have even more romance, knowing they were made by hand, no CAD, no automation. No two are quite the same. All borne of Mr. Enzo Ferrari's passion for racing success. I appreciate both for what they are, the F12 IS special, but as a rule, I find the vintage cars even more special.

    Your F12 is built by hand.
    Mr. Enzo didn't give a crap about you.
    If a 275GTB and an F12 were exactly the same amount of money...the F12 would be equivalent in all regards IMHO (the unique aura of the 275GTB would be equivalently "cancelled out" by the performance, interior, looks of the F12).
    For many months I drove a 1959 Maserati 3500GT that I restored...I'll take the F12. :)
