Ferrari’s Hybrid Hangover: Collectors Stampede Into Legacy V8s And V12s<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Exotic-car collectors continue to shun hybrid Ferraris<\/strong>\u00a0(Read May’s sportscar report<\/a>) in favor of legacy V8 and V12 petrol-powered models<\/strong>, pushing used-car values sharply higher.<\/p>\n

One possible driver is concern over long-term ownership costs:<\/strong> hybrid and fully electric supercars combine complex electronics, high-voltage battery packs, and sophisticated thermal-management systems, creating the risk of astronomical repair bills as these vehicles age.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs analyst Christian Frenes, the bank’s equity analyst covering European automakers including Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Stellantis, Renault, Aston Martin, and Porsche Automobil Holding, wrote in a Thursday morning note that the Ferrari Residual Value Index climbed 5.8% in August and 13.8% from a year earlier, reaching 102.25.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That pushed the gauge above its January 2025 level for the first time since the bank began systematically tracking used-Ferrari prices.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, Frenes said the US led the rally with a 10% monthly gain<\/strong>, driven by both a more valuable mix of cars and higher underlying asking prices. Great Britain advanced 4.6%, although he cautioned that the increase reflected a specials-heavy mix and that comparable prices declined. Italy rose 1.5%, Japan gained 1.3%, and Germany increased 0.9%.<\/p>\n

The big story<\/strong> is that since January 2025, used hybrid Ferrari prices have fallen 13.1%, while non-hybrid models have surged 16.4%<\/strong>. The gap widened again in August, with hybrid prices slipping 0.6% as petrol-powered models jumped 10.4%.<\/p>\n

Here’s a snapshot from the report:<\/p>\n

1. US exceptional gains continue as all markets improve<\/strong>: Latest August data show month-over-month residual list-price improvements across all regions, with the USA clearly outperforming (+10.0%), driven both by a strong mix and rising underlying list prices. GB also improved by 4.6% month over month, although the gain was driven by a specials-heavy mix; like-for-like prices declined. Italy (+1.5%), Japan (+1.3%), and Germany (+0.9%) all posted moderate gains.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. US hunger for legacy V8\/V12 persists<\/strong>: Since we began tracking in January 2025, hybrid models have moved -13.1% and non-hybrids +16.4%. The latest August month-over-month data further widened the powertrain gap, as hybrids were broadly flat (-0.6%), while non-hybrids posted material gains (+10.4%). The increase was largely driven by continued exceptional US demand for legacy, phased-out V8 and V12 models, which now list 36% and 30% above rest-of-world prices, respectively, in the US secondary market. We continue to believe this trend is best explained by heightened US collector demand following the reveal of the electric Ferrari Luce.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. <\/em>Ferrari extends its luxury-peer lead in August<\/strong>: Our newer cross-brand index (April 2026 = 100) shows Ferrari at 114, versus Lamborghini at 109, Rolls-Royce at 105, Bentley at 103, Aston Martin at 102, and McLaren at 96. Nine of the ten largest model-level gainers since April were pre-hybrid Ferrari V8 or V12 models. Hybrid weakness, meanwhile, remains a peer-wide phenomenon, with Bentley hybrids contributing to the largest model-level losers since April.<\/em><\/p>\n

The report’s most compelling charts<\/strong> show exotic-car collectors shunning hybrid Ferraris in favor of V8 and V12 petrol-powered models:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Collectors are aggressively bidding up the naturally aspirated 812 GTS<\/strong>, powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine, while avoiding the hybrid SF90 Stradale.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Collectors became especially aggressive in petrol-powered models after Ferrari debuted the all-electric Luce<\/strong>, which has since bombed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Across the used exotic-car market, Ferraris remain the models most favored by collectors<\/strong>, while McLarens are being shunned.<\/p>\n
