2023 was Ferrari’s best year ever

Like other supercar manufacturers, Ferrari has reason to celebrate 2023, as it was Ferrari’s best year ever. In the past twelve months, Ferrari delivered 13,663 cars worldwide, which is 3 percent more than in 2022.

Ferrari’s biggest market was Europe, where 6,063 cars were delivered, which is 1.8 percent more than in 2022. In North and South America Ferrari delivered 3,811 units (+10.6%), in Asia (China, Taiwan and Hong Kong) 1,490 units (+4%), and in the rest of the Asia Pacific region Ferrari sold 2,299 units (+2%)

This result is great, but even greater is the fact that all current models are sold out for the year 2025, so all interested buyers have to wait at least two years for their cars. However, Ferrari has already announced the arrival of three new models in the coming years.

There is not much information about the new models. The first of the new ones is supposed to be the successor to the 812 Superfast model, caught in spy photos during testing with a Ferrari Roma body, and is predicted to use a V12 engine.

Some rumors say that the second one could be the F250 as the successor to the LaFerrari model, which was produced between 2013 and 2018 in 710 examples as a coupe (500 examples) and Aperta (210 examples).

Also, rumor has it that Ferrari will not use a V12 engine this time, but a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V6 engine based on the engine used by the 296 GTB and GT3 models. This model will be limited to 828 copies in three versions: the coupe (599 copies) which should arrive this year, 30 copies of the most powerful XX version which will enter production in 2027 and the convertible (199 copies) which will arrive by the end of the decade.

When it comes to the third model, no one knows what the decision might be. Some predict that Ferrari could introduce an entirely new model. Only time will tell.

Rare Pre-Production Prototype 1995 Ferrari F50 for sale

Between 1995 and 1997, Ferrari produced 349 examples of the mid-engine sports car, the Ferrari F50. However, the Maranello-based company also produced 19 pre-production prototypes and one of them, the 1995 Ferrari F50, is for sale.

This car was presented as the successor to the legendary F40, with performance that could not be matched by any sports car with an open roof. It was developed under the influence of Formula 1, and based on the F50 GT in collaboration with racing partners Dallara and Michelotto. This example is one of six that were owned by the Royal Family of Brunei and is currently owned by DK Engineering. It has 40 individual differences that distinguish it from the other 349 copies.

The Ferrari F50 is powered by a 4.7-liter V12 engine with 512 hp (382 kW) and 347 lb-ft (471 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph. It has only 1,900 kilometers on the odometer.

It was delivered as new to the royal family in 1995, and since 1997 it has changed several owners. All the time it was part of collections and exhibited in museums. Since 2015, it has been part of Tony Denny’s Gosford Classic Car Museum in Australia. Since 2018, it has Ferrari’s red book Classiche certification.

Upgraded Ferrari Purosangue with 830 HP

German tuner Pogea Racing, which is known for upgrading Abarth, Alfa and Ferrari cars, presented its latest work, the upgraded Ferrari Purosangue. It is the first Ferrari SUV that was premiered in September 2022.

While we wait for some of the world’s best tuners to present their work based on the Ferrari Purosangue, Pogea Racing has equipped the high-performance crossover with extended fenders, a KW suspension that makes the car even closer to the ground, a new exhaust system with quad tailpipes, a new set of 23″ and 24″ reinforced rims wrapped in Michelin tires.

This car is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 830 hp (619 kW), paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels. Performances have not been published. As a reminder, the standard Ferrari Purosangue has 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque, and can reach 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 km/h).

It should also be noted that the lucky ones who can afford the first Ferrari SUV have been waiting for delivery for more than three years, and now they have an option that will make their Purosangue different from other examples.
