You are right that V8s are not collectible and Ferrari should produce more of them to solve this unreasonable demand supply issue.



And thereby incur the wrath of that mighty Pope of Exclusivity, Nick Berry?

No way, Giuseppe!



Your damn right! But consider for a moment the fiqures you cite. If true (I believe it is closer to 13,000) this car has been in production since 1999 which is 6 years. Now assume North America ( for my European friends this includes Canada and Mexico) receives 40-50% of the allotments. The mix between Spiders and Coupes is about 50%.

Factor that out and here is what you get using 16,000 cars and 40% allocation.:

Coupes in N. America OVER A SIX year period 3200 cars

Spiders in N. America 3200.

Now what does Porsche produce A MONTH ? 2-3000 cars

You wonder why Porsche resale values drop like a rock once they are out of the showroom floor?
