Ferrari’s Latest Flipping Fiasco: F80 Slot Selling for $6.3 Million
A German dealer just listed a Ferrari F80 build slot for €5.9 million ($6.3 million) on Mobile.de.
That’s a cool $2.4 million markup over Ferrari’s already eye-watering $3.9 million MSRP.
The listing confirms this includes the actual car, not just the privilege of buying one. Delivery? Late 2025. How generous.
The Ultimate Hypercar Hustle
Ferrari’s allocation system has always been an exclusive club where money alone doesn’t guarantee entry.
The F80 represents Ferrari’s latest attempt to separate wealthy enthusiasts from their cash. Limited to just 799 units worldwide, it’s already sold out despite not having entered production.
What you’re buying:
- A 1,200 horsepower hybrid hypercar with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6
- The spiritual successor to the LaFerrari (though with mixed design reviews)
- Bragging rights for owning Ferrari’s latest flagship
- The privilege of paying $5,416 per horsepower
KB Lease Invest isn’t alone in this game. Other dealers are hawking build slots for Ferrari’s 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider at similar markups.
Ferrari’s Exclusivity Paradox
Ferrari meticulously curates its customer list. You typically need a history of Ferrari ownership and a relationship with your dealer to secure a build slot for limited models.
This gray market flipping undermines Ferrari’s carefully constructed façade of exclusivity.
The irony? Ferrari’s own allocation system creates the scarcity that drives these markups.
The V6 Elephant in the Room
The F80 marks Ferrari’s first flagship hypercar without a V12 engine.
Its Le Mans-derived V6 hybrid powertrain delivers the numbers, but purists question whether it delivers the soul.
For $6.3 million, you could buy a LaFerrari Aperta and still have enough left for a 296 GTB plus change.
The real question isn’t whether someone will pay this price – it’s whether Ferrari will blacklist whoever does.
Either way, the F80’s value as an investment vehicle clearly exceeds its value as an actual vehicle.
When hypercars become commodities traded like futures contracts, something fundamental about car enthusiasm dies.
But hey, at least someone’s getting a nice commission.
