Over 90% of All Ferraris Ever Built Are Still on the Road
Ferrari has produced more than 300,000 vehicles since 1947, and an astonishing majority remain in working condition.
Of course, this is partly due to Ferrari’s renowned craftsmanship and engineering. But let’s be honest—most Ferrari owners don’t drive their cars every day, which certainly helps preserve them.
Andrea Scioletti, Head of Ferrari’s Pre-Owned Program, highlights that Ferrari actively ensures its cars remain in top condition through the ‘Ferrari Approved’ program. This initiative restores older models, keeping them roadworthy and in pristine shape.
Ferrari also provides extensive warranties:
- Up to 24 months for cars up to 16 years old or 75,000 miles
- Unlimited-mile warranties for new supercars
- Guaranteed availability of original parts for classic models
With this level of commitment to maintenance and preservation, it’s no surprise that Ferraris remain on the road for decades, standing as a testament to the brand’s legacy of excellence.
The unavoidable truth.
There’s no denying that Ferraris are exceptionally well-built machines. But let’s address a key reality—most Ferrari owners barely drive their cars.
Of course, there are exceptions, like the famous Enzo that clocked over 100,000 miles. But for the majority, Ferraris are treated more like investments than vehicles meant for daily driving.
The secondary market has skyrocketed in recent years, with pre-owned models fetching staggering prices—often far beyond their original MSRP. That’s why you’ll sometimes see Ferrari F430s, which aren’t even limited-edition models, hitting the market with just 70 miles on the odometer after more than a decade.
This, in part, also explains why maintaining a supercar is so expensive. Ferrari expects owners to stay on top of maintenance—whether they take their car out twice a year or twice a day.Why? Because neglecting it would (A) avoid the warranty and (B) hurt the car’s resale value—two things Ferrari (and its owners) don’t take lightly.
