Ferrari management mandated that they didn't want to sell more than about 3,500 cars in 360 guise per year.. hence 6 years x 3,500 = maximum they would sell is 21k, but they actually shipped closer to 3,000 per year into 42 seperate markets around the world, hence ~18k. Ferrari did not want to do a 'Porsche' and sell out the brand by diluting it with boxster level prices effecting exclusivity. Every man and his dog can now afford a relatively new Porsche... its the new mx5 ! ...With smaller production runs than other marques demand should outstrip supply (the ideal for owners) hence keeping residual values better than if the otherway around. Current figures for the 360 are that after 3 years residuals are around 68% retained value (cs will be higher due to smaller volumes again).
yes, it seems many are for sale, but the more recent models still command prices equal to or greater than list...i suppose demand must be greater than supply still
Hmmm, so out of 17,000 units. I wonder how many are Black on Black Spiders...my dream combo. But thats alot of cars over 6 years
there is a shade of black metallic that is absolutely gorgeous...not sure what its name is, but it has siny flakes in the black paint...black on black or yellow on black...gorgeous combinations
Hmm IMO I do not think 18,000 cars is a lot if you think about the world population numbers 6,446,131,400. Which really is just a random number I chose for a ratio. Anyone know the approximate numbers for the Lamborghini Gallardo, Murciago, and Diablo just for comparison?
Heh, good way of looking at it. Lamborghini's are actually by far lower production. My source is lambocars.com which is a good site if you want to do a bit of reading on Lamborghini's for whatever purpose. I tried to copy and paste the numbers but they wouldn't paste right, so just check the site out.
My 360 coupe is black/black, with red stitching on the seats. I love it! I believe the metallic flake black is called Daytona Black.
