In our debut episode of the hypercarfinance.co.uk podcast, we start where most serious conversations about hypercar finance should start: Ferrari.
The 12Cilindri represents something significant — potentially one of the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris we'll ever see. That "end of era" positioning has serious implications for long-term value, and we break down exactly what that means for buyers considering this car.
In this episode:
- Why Ferrari sits at an intersection no other manufacturer occupies — brand power, deliberate scarcity, and unusually strong residual performance
- The historical pattern of Ferrari V12 grand tourers: early depreciation, stabilisation, and long-term recovery
- How sophisticated lenders underwrite Ferrari differently — and what that means for your financing options
- Balloon structures vs amortising finance: when each makes sense
- Asset-backed lending for existing collectors
- Personal vs corporate ownership considerations
- Our 12Cilindri residual forecast: years one to three, three to five, and five to ten
Market Update:
- Collector car market hits $4.8 billion in 2025 — but modern supercars are outperforming
- Ferrari F80: 20% of allocations still available, deliberate delivery slowdown strategy
- McLaren W1: all 399 units allocated, £2 million starting price
- Bugatti Tourbillon: sold out at €3.8 million before production begins
- Chinese manufacturers making moves into the hypercar space
- The measurable premium for naturally aspirated engines
