    I am considering this and need some thoughts on the matter. I love my cars and it would be hard to part but it would also be nice to have just one Ferrari to care for. The value of my 458 and F12 are about that of an F8. Thoughts?

    The numbers wouldn't work for me. Lots of variables here but in a very general sense, the deal should be your cars for an F8 + cash back to you. That said, I wouldn't trade my F8 for the world so if possible, do it.

    I wouldn't trade just a 458 for an F8- Much less and absolutely NO WAY I would include and F12 in the mix.

    <WADR TO F8 OWNERS>
    Two NA cars- last of a breed- For a gorgeous turbo v8 that sounds like a blender unless altered?

    Aaaah NO

    I'm going through this with my 296 order and current F12. Plan is to keep the F12 and add the 296. I want to have a 'collection.' They are quite different driving experiences.

    Makes a bit of a parking problem at the house. And I haven't even gotten the insurance quote for a 296 yet but I'm expecting to be absolutely raped, again (Harry Metcalfe of Harry's Garage disclosed his annual insurance payment on about THIRTY EIGHT vehicles - 20 cars worth £millions and 18 motorcycles - and somehow it's only about 40% of what I pay for 5 cars with two teen male drivers at home).

    But then the bigger question in my head was is it "better" to have a $200k GT plus a $400k sportscar, instead of one ~$600k supercar? First World Problems!

    Sort of did the same and loving it 100%
    Sold Cali T and 911 targa 520bhp for F8s and loving it. Had the Cali for 7 years last two had the 911 but didn’t use the Cali as much as a should have. Now have no choice but to use the F8s. Amazing car

    Not exactly the same but have pondered parting with my GT3 and F12 toward a Pista. Can’t get myself to do it though.

    Giving up the V20 for just a V8? No wrong answer here, do what is best for you. Sounds like you have a lot of cars so you are getting the fix you need based on mood.

    there's an idea. I would have to plop 200k down though most likely so wanted to avoid that

    Get the Pista x2

    F12 is the only one of the two I'd have issue with, and only if it was a well setup future standout.. otherwise see ya!

    V12 + V8, best of both worlds. Would keep the 458 and F12 in comparison to just having the F8.

    I own a F12 and F8. Love them both but I wouldn’t swap my F12 for the F8. The F8 is quicker and I absolutely love it but my F12 is just an experience I can’t part with. Have them all…. Easier said than done but if you can swing it.

    Hard no. Love the 458 even more than the F8.

  23. How is this a serious question?

    Or is a trick question and I'm just too dense to get it?

    I go w earlier. Keep f12 and get f8. Have had all of them miss my f12 but love my 812 GTS. Don’t miss my 458 (I know many of you love yours I just didn’t) and I love the f8. Style, interior, performance and composure. I think a v12 and V8 package is very hard to beat but get the comments on 200k.
