My guess, there will be more than 120 in the US.
Import duties sir,coupled with custom duties and some more tax.There is an official dealer in Delhi.They are thinking of opening one in Bombay.2 F12s heading to here at $1 million plus each( Both are Fchat members who are getting the car and one of them has put his year old 458 for sale for close to $700,000) Porsche has showrooms all over the country and a lightly speced PDK Carrera S after paying road tax and evertthing is $350,000.And they are selling well. I know pretty sad taxes.You guys are so lucky.:-(
And in Dubai they will actualy be used. there is a great tradition of actualy using cars on the road at speed, people gow up with these skills, the road conditions allow for it, there is no shame in being wealthy and enjoying it, and those that can buy one of these cars usualy do so for fun as opposed to investment.
This number was also quoted in an Italian paper I read yesterday. There should be 50 cars coming to Germany. Switzerland may get a high allocation (maybe 20 cars?). So the count for the moment is: US 120 Germany 50 GB 50-60 ?? Italy 25 Switzerland 20-25?? Canada 11 India 3 Australia 7 So You have the allocation of about 300 cars in the main markets without China and Mideast. My guess is the Mideast may get some 30-40 cars (mainly UAE and Saudi Arabia). 5-10 cars for Scandinavia may also be a good bet. 25 cars to Italy btw is a lot compared to their total market share, which last year was less than 3 % of production, so they should have allocated only 15 cars there. The 10 cars they get more may have to do with home-market, Fiat and Ferrari family members and a reserve for some delayed coming VIP'S
That means each dealer "should" get a least one. I remember when FoD had an Enzo. They had a special reception. The car was roped off so you couldn't touch it. We have an Enzo owner in Aspen who used to drive it into town for coffee each morning. He parked it on the street and left the windows down. Have not seen it in a few years. The newness must have worn off or he sold it. Still see his Daytona spider once in a while though. I hope he gets an F70.
That sounds high? Afaik there wasnt a single Enzo delivered in Norway, here in Sweden we had 1 sold new and 3 imported. Will be interesting to see the total number of cars here in Sweden/Norway
50 for Germany? That is a lot. UK got around +/-20 Enzos initially so i would assume around 30 for the F150.
One is now confirmed, two are rumored. We might not have any Enzos, but have several that have bought old Ferrari F1's and FXX's. Which I guess would sneak you on the criteria list.
Sorry, forgot to edit my post. Yes i know there was 1 FXX and currently 2 599XXs in Norway. Looks like the guys here at the Swedish dealer have very good contacts at the factory. They sold a total of 4 599XXs (Norwegian cars are ordered via the Swedish dealers quota) and managed to get 2 Apertas for ex.
According to this article I posted a link to in the original thread for the F70, 2 people from Turkey have been selected and will pay in the region of 6.3 million lira. BUSINESS - Two Turks picked to buy new Ferrari
Avishar tell me something. If someone would like to import the new La Ferrari in India (thing not possible at least now) how much would it cost?
Some going to Dubai, no question about it. The part about the super car showroom receiving it before anyone receives it through the main F dealership: That's a no as far as I'm concerned. I believe all will be delivered at the factory.
With all sort of duties and taxes you are looking at 220% of the original price.So its around $3 million,to keep it on the higher side.I really,really doubt any would come here,but its interesting because its an expanding market and 10-15 years down the line the market would get much bigger.Ferrari might like the idea of atleast one La Ferrari here because the marketing effect of that would be huge. Koenigsegg had got the Agera for a demonstration to customers and Bugatti toured the country with a Veyron giving test drives to prospective customers.They sold none but a very successful publicity drive none the less. Ferrari has sold around 20-22 $800,000-900,000 458s and a similiar number of $1m Avendators. Mercedes set up shop here in 1996,and sold negligible numbers untill 2002-03.Then BMW stepped in and soon Audi after that and the market exploded.From nothing to 30,000 units in between them in a few years at a price point of $55,000 for a base 320i to $200,000 for a S350Cdi. A Bentley FS is about $450,000 and if start ticking all the options on a Phantom you are looking at a million and there is a big market for them.In the past 5 years Bentley and Rolls have sold around 200 cars in between them.I know a person who is taking delivery of a lovely yellow 991 Carrera S in Calcutta next week at a final price of around $400,000.Gulp! So the buying power is there,if the duties come down the market will expand faster.
I heard a long time and numerous Ferrari owner said that in order to be eligible to purchase one, you must now own five Ferrari's, one of which must be or have been a SuperCar.
Incorrect based on what I have heard. As for South Africa, luckily for Zack, most likely none will end up here due to the fact LHD cars cant be imported. If they did they would cost an eye watering R25 million, a 458 spider is R4 million.
That is one of the requirements. But not the only only. You must have purchased one or more new Ferraris in the past 2 or 3 years. (An FF helps a lot!). Also, being known as an enthusiast by your dealer is a plus (Not just buying and storing the car..). The one easy way was to own an XX or a F1 Corse Clienti.
One of the contractual stipulations Ferrari should bind the LFerrari owners to is to drive the cars with enough mileage to keep them healthy.
All correct. But also depends on where you are. HK extremely tough as there are many big boys with 20+ Ferraris, or buy every new model and keep a lot of them or XX or serious cars even to 250gto. Basic criteria not nearly enough
There will be many more than 120 in the US. The original slated US production for the Enzo was to be 70, there are over 125 US spec Enzos. Add in the extra units that will be produced after 499 and the number gets much larger.
One of the considerations for being allowed to buy one is that the owner attends events on a regular basis (whatever that should mean). I guess Ferrari wants to make sure these cars are seen in public. Gr. Martin
