    Ferrari, Residuals & The New V12 Era

    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 performanceThe historical pattern of Ferrari V12 grand tourers: early depreciation, stabilisation, and long-term recoveryHow sophisticated lenders underwrite Ferrari differently — and what that means for your financing optionsBalloon structures vs amortising finance: when each makes senseAsset-backed lending for existing collectorsPersonal vs corporate ownership considerationsOur 12Cilindri residual forecast: years one to three, three to five, and five to tenMarket Update: Collector car market hits $4.8 billion in 2025 — but modern supercars are outperformingFerrari F80: 20% of allocations still available, deliberate delivery slowdown strategyMcLaren W1: all 399 units allocated, £2 million starting priceBugatti Tourbillon: sold out at €3.8 million before production beginsChinese manufacturers making moves into the hypercar spaceThe measurable premium for naturally aspirated engines
