Ferrari always trounce the outgoing top tier model with the incoming new regular production car. It doesn't affect the values of the limited run cars like the Pista though as they will alway remain collectible. Lamborghini and Ferrari appeal to different buyers in general and this coupled with controlled supply of the F8 should mean there is little impact upon the Huracan Evo in terms of sales. Regular Ferrari customers know this and expect it as part of the model cycle. Anyone caught out by it hasn't done their homework. The huge jump in power this time round is more to do with the market disruptor behaviour of McLaren. They have had to evolve their model range in double quick time to try and establish themselves as serious players and have offered class leading power to attract buyers. The old gentle progress that was an unwritten rule between Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini was simply tossed out of the window by Woking. In doing so they have also made things more challenging for themselves as it has harmed their residual values as buyers know that something more powerful will be launched to market within 6 months of the last launch.

The HP war is just crazy and likely to become more stupid with the new generation of mild hybrids. I can foresee law suits in the US when buyers without the requisite skill get behind the wheel and crashes result.
