How much does a Ferrari cost?
How much does a Ferrari cost, model by model?
"Ferrari" spans two orders of magnitude, so the honest answer depends on which one. Below is the 2026 ladder — current new models, the used entry point, and the limited and collector tiers. Figures are indicative US pricing before options, taxes, and the market premiums that specials command.
| Model / tier | Indicative price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Used V8 (Portofino, California T, 488) | ~$120k–200k | The realistic entry to the marque |
| Roma / Roma Spider | ~$247k / ~$273k | Cheapest new Ferrari |
| 296 GTB / 296 GTS | ~$340k / ~$370k | V6 hybrid, mid-engine |
| Purosangue | ~$430k | The four-door, four-seat Ferrari |
| 12Cilindri | ~$450k+ | Front-engine V12 flagship |
| SF90 Stradale / XX | ~$520k / ~$770k | Plug-in hybrid halo |
| Daytona SP3 (Icona) | ~$2.3M | Allocation-only limited series |
| F80 (hypercar) | ~$3.9M | The current flagship hypercar |
| Collector classics (F40, 288 GTO, 250-series) | ~$2.5M to $50M+ | 250 GTO is the most expensive car ever sold |
Indicative pricing for mid-2026; new MSRPs vary by market and options, and specials trade above list. Verify current figures before citing onward.
Why are limited-series Ferraris so hard to buy?
Because they are allocated, not sold. Icona cars, hypercars, and many specials go to established clients with a purchase history — order books close before the public sees a price, and a first-time buyer cannot simply walk in. For most collectors the route in is the secondary market, where allocations and early cars trade privately, often above list. That is exactly where a sourcing mandate earns its fee.
Do Ferraris hold their value?
Most modern Ferraris depreciate like other new cars in their first years, then stabilise; the exceptions are the cars that matter. Limited series, manuals, and significant classics have appreciated strongly, and a documented, low-mileage example with full Ferrari service history holds value far better than a cheaper, patchy one. We benchmark every car against real closed sales — the logic is on selling a collector car.
FAQ
Ferrari pricing — quick answers
What is the cheapest Ferrari?
The most affordable new Ferrari is the Roma, at roughly $247,000 before options. If you are buying used, entry to the marque is lower: well-kept previous-generation V8 cars such as the Portofino, California T, or 488 typically start around $120,000–180,000, and older F430 or 360 Modena examples can be found below that, condition depending.
What is the most expensive Ferrari?
New, the F80 hypercar leads at roughly $3.9 million, with the Daytona SP3 Icona near $2.3 million. On the collector market the figures dwarf those: a 1962–63 Ferrari 250 GTO holds the record as the most expensive car ever sold, with examples trading privately and at auction in the $48–70 million range.
How much does a used Ferrari cost?
Used Ferraris span an enormous range. Modern V8 grand tourers start around $120,000–180,000; recent V12s and specials hold far higher. Values turn on mileage, service history (the cam-belt and major-service record especially), originality, and colour. A documented car with full Ferrari service history commands a clear premium over a cheaper, patchy one.
Can you buy a special-series Ferrari without an ownership history?
Rarely at retail. Limited models — Icona cars, hypercars, and many specials — are allocated by Ferrari to established clients with a purchase history, not sold on demand. The route in for most buyers is the secondary market, where allocations and early cars trade privately. A sourcing mandate locates and verifies them without years of dealer loyalty.
Who owns Ferrari?
Ferrari is a publicly listed company (NYSE and Milan: RACE), spun out of Fiat Chrysler in 2015–16. Its largest shareholder is Exor, the Agnelli family's holding company, with Piero Ferrari — Enzo's son — holding about 10%. Ferrari is independent today, not owned by Ford or Fiat, despite the famous histories with both.
Can anyone buy a new Ferrari?
Standard models, yes — subject to a dealer order and a wait. But the limited Icona cars, hypercars, and many specials are allocated only to established clients with a Ferrari purchase history, not sold on demand. For most buyers the route to those cars is the secondary market, where a sourcing mandate locates and verifies them.
