THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

Well, if the price is going to be well north of $1M USD (excluding embroidered $200k+ car cover), I'm not sure they'll need one!

 

Its basically the list of things Ferrari wants to see from you before they will sell you a car at MSRP. There of course always exception to these lists, take for example the fact Jay Kay was able to get an Enzo at MSRP without having the proper prerequisites, Nick Mason did not have the 'qualifications' either. To get an Enzo was much simpler and cheaper, basically they required that you have one of the other super Ferraris (288GTO, F40, F50). With this car you must still own one of the super Ferraris from new and not have gotten the car second hand. There are other parameters that you can meet of course. The most amazing one that I find is if you haven't had a super Ferrari since birth you can supplement this by having purchased 9 Ferraris in 24 months. However, there are more direct and creative ways of getting a car at MSRP.

 

Also if your penis is over 4 inches you can't get one.

 

Why would you want one with a penis over 4 inches?

 

True True.

 

I swear every time I leave and come back to this thread it gets funnier and funnier.

 

That's a qualification anyone with a sharp knife can meet.

 

Thank you Michael as always for the information. I know Porsche is having a tough time right now moving 918 of the 918 Spyder and that is from a buddy of mine at Porsche.

 

OMG the number of people who want to spend 1MM on Hypercars in these interesting times
isn't growing to the sky?

No ****.

200 so far. They were planning on 918. How about Bugatti. They still haven't sold their 300 and that Puppy's been for sale since what 2005?

Once Bob's hard rain starts to fall it's going to get interesting.

You heard it here first. Ferrari should think about changing their tune a little.
Super Enzo's at 1.7MM USD?

Feeling lucky???

 

You wrote this in response to...TOOL-FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

+1 Wise words indeed. This is going to be a fun story to watch...

 

what, not metric?

 

Jim, your 200 number is right on the money, and that is worldwide, the US so far is below 100.

 

It could ride shotgun.

 

Atelier may have to throw in a 4" extension in carbon ...?

 

Those of us who've seen Ferrari's pile up unsold on the Docks of Newark and were begged by dealers to buy 308's at 5K under msrp may live to see something like what you suggest happen.

There will be 7.5K per year of 250K+ Ferrari's, Lambos, McLaren's and Porsche 458 fighters looking for buyers in the US and 800 1MM$ Hyper New Enzo's, 918's and New McLaren F1's looking for buyers in the US during a time when the US Economy may not be rocking and rolling.

We shall see...

 

at that price Ferrari may have to propose only selling 200 units (which typically doubles) to cushion any potential short fall in sales ...but then who knows how many they need to sell to off set costs?

i recall in the '80's when we had a big hit in the O&G industry here, owners were dropping off at night before with keys in, thier NOT yet fully paid off Ferraris and Porsches to "the" citys high end dealer (cooke motors)

 

From what i heard, France allocation is sold already. If France can do it, im sure the US can do it also. And this time around, there a more markets for this car then when the Enzo was introduced. I dont think Ferrari sold new Enzo in Russia, China, Singapore, Brazil..but they very well could sell this car to these new markets. The Middle east is also a bigger market for Ferrari than it was 10 years ago.

If they produce 500 of these cars, with 100 coming to the US, i dont think they would have a hard time shifting them.

Porsche is another story. The CGT never double its value and can be bought now for less than MSRP (not counting inflation) even for low mileage cars.

 

Looking at the CGT market vs the Enzo market its not hard to see why Porsche is having trouble moving 918s. CGTs can be bought well in back of MSRP now, while Enzos still sell for over double MSRP. I don't think everyone wants to take a guaranteed hit on a 918.

 

Do you have get to that Classiche certified?

 

Nick Mason has owned a F40 from new ... and does own an Enzo ...

Pete

 

He sold his Enzo, he also sold his original F40.

 

I still have my original Enzo which I bought new but it does look a bit different than when I bought it.

Andrew think they'll sell out in Greece? Spain? Portugal? Italy? When they start eating the rich in France and they're starting to set the table it will get real interesting.

The trick is separating everything one hears into two piles. That which is true and that which is whistling past the graveyard.

Lately I have been inundated with offers from France for Luxury Properties. I very much doubt the market for new Enzo's is sold out there. If you want a huge Villa let me know.

China? After the 599GTO Crash and the huge political crack down that's coming the market for New Enzo's could cool a bit...

 

as i have said on other threads, i too am getting offers for all sorts of weird and wonderful things from france, italy, spain and greece....and i am no where near the wallet size of most of you on here, so i can imagine these people are lowering their price horizons all the time....

i guess there is a market for the new uber ferrari at whatever price, among the worlds richest people. but if europe goes the implosion route that i keep thinking its on, then there will be some allocations going begging and needing to be shipped somewhere else.

 

Please don´t be so "dramatic", we are facing very difficult times but, i think will manage to survive....
