    I have made a few phone calls over the last few weeks, anywhere from dealers up to the NJ FNA offices.

    2008 Scuderia: 250 in North America (includes Canada). This number is different than the 290 I was told by two sources (one dealer and one owner). This number is official.

    2009 Scuderia: Initial allocations: 90, but all the allocations were not filled, so less than 90 were shipped.

    2009 16M: Initial allocations: 200, but all the allocations were not filled, less than 200 shipped.

    I was asked not to disclose my source, and it took me some serious talking, to the point of insisting that I was entitled to know this information about my car, and this kind of information was important for owners.

    I just started to gather a list of 16M and Scuderia VIN numbers with colors/options, to eventually build a registry.

    I have no idea why the 16M did not sell that well, being barely more expensive than the Scuderia, and being a Spider. I think the car was introduced to the market when the economy was in really bad shape, while the Scuderia had the benefit of entering this market before the economy crash.

    Rad, I've heard 126 total 16Ms batted around.

    Nevertheless, there are not a lot of Scuds or 16Ms in the country. I think the economy has the most to do with the lack of fulfilled allocations.

    When Ferrari launched the 16M they said all 499 were "sold".

    Did they get dealers to commit to buy them - but the buyers didn't actually materialise?

    If US is 40% of production (200/499 16Ms) one could extrapolate that from around only 340 Scuderia coupes allocated to the US - the total production numbers for Scuderia coupes could well be less than the 360CS.

    I bought mine in the UK and was told that 2008 delivery figures were approximately 60 - and the UK is a big Ferrari market. It would be interesting to see how many were shipped in Middle East/Far East? At which point will Ferrari release official stats?

    I suspect the release of the 16M must have hurt the Scuderia delivery numbers, especially if the market was soft by that point - so you could well argue more Scuds would have shipped if not for the Spider.

    When I was at the Ferrari factory several weeks back, they stated that the total US 16M allocation was 149 (499 worldwide). Yes, the entire US 16M production run was committed to dealers. There were no uncommitted 16M's.

    Thanks for your persistence, F430GT. I've been trying to get those numbers myself. Nice work.

    I tried to buy a 16M from my dealer and they were told by Ferrari that there were no more available. So what is the real story? If in fact there are less than 90 2009 Scuds that will be one of the lowest production numbers in many years.

    Thanks F430GT. It's satisfying to see that Scuderia is a limited production car.

    Did you find out the production numbers for the F430 coupe and Spider for 2009 and the number that came to the US? Thanks.

    Great info!
    Thanks for sharing.
    Any guess on the number of 458 production per year?? I think it would be a shame to sell a Scuderia for a "base" "big production" 458.. Any thoughts ?

    16M is amazing, but it's really just squeezing the last of the 430 tube out on the road. The 458 was coming and everyone knew it, so they are waiting for 458 coupes, spiders, or whatever the 458+ is.

    I think some of your numbers and assumptions may be a little off.

    16M - Ferrari did sell all 499 allocated no problem (so I'm told)! What did they then do? What they always do and build some more. Build exceeded 499, no exact figures exist that have been published but as you all know they are famous for doing this and I guess could be as high as 10% extra? Some of the additional cars may then have struggled to sell coming at the same time as the 458 launched although I have no evidence of this and demand for used cars seems strong.

    There is quite a lot of documented evidence that a combined total of between 3500 and 4000 Scuds and 16M's were built so best guess for Scuds alone is 3000-3500 cars.

    As far as I can ascertain Ferrari sells approximately 30% of it's cars to the US/Canada which would put allocation of 16M's to US/Can at around 150 cars and Scuds at around 900 cars using the most conservative figures of 3000 scuds and 499 16M's. I don't know of course if the 30% of sales figure is accurate for all models across the range but I would think since both Scud and 16M are aimed at the same market that the percentages for these would be similar to each other.

    I'm also trying to put together a registry of 16M's with as much information as possible but to date I have to say I haven't had much feedback from owners - perhaps we can pool our resources?

    Update:
    I was incorrect in my previous statement - No documented evidence has actually been produced for Scud production numbers, there is however documented evidence of actual UK registrations which is recorded by the licensing authorities at 165 Scuds and 53 16M's. UK has a known Ferrari historic purchase % of approx 10% of World production. This would put Scud total production at between 1650 and 1800 cars - much lower than some have indicated but is actually based on known information.

    I guess I've never paid a whole bunch of attention to this. But why wouldn't Ferrari publish production numbers of their vehicles? I just assumed that hard data on production numbers was readily available.

    At any one time there are quite a few for sale even if only 149 were delivered (or whatever number FNA tells us).

    Any reason why such a small production is frequently found for sale?
    Price too high to compete with 458 performance?

    Because the numbers tossed out at the top of the thread aren't correct. Right now, there are 30 advertised on a single site (carsdotcom) alone. There are 9 CS on the same site. Says alot towards the relative rarity of each.

    The thread is from 2009.

    The 2008 Scuderia number has two sources confirming the same number, my source at FNA, and also an interview published in 2010.

    The 2009 Scuderia number is unknown, but I am estimating around 350 units (for a total of 600 units in U.S. and Canada), based on the following information:

    a) I have 197 VIN numbers from Scuderias, 88 are 2008 cars, 109 are 2009 cars. I could have more, but I don't have time to track this on a weekly basis (and lost interest too).
    b) The decrease on U.S. sales compared to worldwide sales published by Ferrari SpA in their 2008 and 2009 sales statements to Fiat group (available at Fiat website). U.S. used to be 30% of the worldwide allocation and it came down to 23%.
    c) The split of model car sales introduced by the California, U.S. sales did not increase, distribution of sales changed since 2008 (available from the Fiat report). So, the 70% sales on V8 cars now included 4 different cars in 2008 and 5 different cars in 2009 (California, F430, F430 Spider, 16M and Scuderia).
    d) Forza August 2012 article (available for ordering online).

    There is no exact number, as the four topics above don't point to such info, but a good range can be obtained.

    The 350 number for 2009 cars is the worse case scenario, the real number must be below it, but it will clearly exceed 300.

    cars.com is not one source, it links to multiple sources (news ads, websites, etc). They are also very slow on removing cars that no longer are in the market.

    The Scuderia prices have stayed flat for almost 3 years, equal condition cars 3 years ago carry the same price today. In the meantime, the Challenge Stradale prices have been firming up for the last 2 years. The Stradale has helped the Scuderia prices to stay firm after the abysmal depreciation in the first 2 years of the Scuderia.

    I do not believe this is true any longer. Like you said yourself, the forthcoming 458 Scud is already having an effect and will continue to do so. We had a guy recently with a nice 10k car he had trouble moving for $162k. Whether you believe carsdotcom or not, there are alot of Scuds on the market.

    Last August, I charted all the available Scuds from 4 sources (cars, autotrader, ebay, dupont) subtracting the duplicates. There wasn't a single 10k mile car for less than $185k. Definately not the case today.

    You've quoted a very old post which has now been proved factually incorrect. Scud production is far lower than the figures I was quoting in this post. :)

    IMO, the 458S will not have that big of an impact on the 430 Scud. The price point on the 458s is much higher than Scud. I feel Scud's have hit the floor. On E bay, there are only a handful and asking prices are higher than 5 months ago before 458S was released.
