Ferrari's Hybrid Hangover: Collectors Stampede Into Legacy V8s And V12s
Ferrari's used-car values rose 5.8% in August and 13.8% year-over-year, with non-hybrid models outperforming hybrids. The US market led gains, driven by demand for legacy V8 and V12 models. According to Goldman Sachs, hybrid Ferraris fell 13.1% since January 2025, while non-hybrids surged 16.4%. The trend is attributed to collector preference for petrol-powered models post the electric Luce launch.
