Ferrari mid-engine market update

The Ferrari mid-engine market has gone through an interesting shift. After months of softening, prices for many models have stopped falling — and in several cases, they’re climbing again. Still, not all Ferraris are benefitting equally. Two models remain firmly in decline, creating both risks and opportunities for buyers.

In this update, we’ll explore the latest data, highlight which models are gaining ground, and identify the outliers that continue to lag behind. If you’re a value-conscious enthusiast, this should help you navigate the evolving Ferrari landscape.

Early signs of strength

Ferrari F355

The F355 Spider is experiencing a clear recovery. After years of stability, prices began to climb in early 2024. Compared to last year, values are up 9.1% for automatics and 6.1% for Spiders. Coupes and Targas remain too scarce for meaningful data, but the trend is positive.

Ferrari 360

The 360 continues to be a safe place for capital. Automatics rose 3.9%, while manuals posted a modest 0.3% gain. Statistically, these changes are not significant, which essentially means that 360 prices are stable.

Ferrari F430

The F430 market corrected heavily through 2023 and early 2024. By late 2024, prices stabilized, with a mild –1.3% year-over-year decline for automatics. Manuals and Scuderias remain too rare to track reliably, though Scuderias generally sit between €300,000 and €350,000, depending on mileage and specification.

Ferrari 458

The 458 is one of the strongest markets right now. After a correction from pandemic highs, values stabilized in 2023 and began to rise again in 2024. Spiders are up 5.6%, while coupes gained 1.5%. Owners who bought wisely may find that appreciation has offset running costs.

The real story, however, is in the 458 Speciale, where prices surged by an extraordinary 28.9% in just a year. Today, expect to pay €800,000–€900,000 for a well-kept example — if you can even find one.

Ferrari 488

The 488 market has largely flattened. Spiders dipped by 0.6% (not statistically confirmed, so likely stable), while coupes dropped 1.9%. Overall, depreciation in this segment has slowed dramatically.

Ferrari Pista

Like the Speciale, the Pista is soaring. In 2025, prices exploded: coupes rose 11.4%, while Spiders skyrocketed 33.1%. Low-mileage Spiders now trade for well over €1,000,000, while coupes hover around €650,000.

Where prices are falling

Not all models are joining the rebound. In fact, newer Ferraris are still sliding in value.

Ferrari F8 Tributo

The F8 is on a slower decline compared to other modern models. Last year, coupes lost 2.9%, and Spiders dropped 4.4%. The trend resembles the 488 market but lags behind slightly.

Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS

The 296 is suffering heavy depreciation. Coupes fell 19.1% to around €358,000, while Spiders dropped 17.2% to €446,000. There’s no sign that this decline is slowing.

Ferrari SF90

The SF90, slightly older than the 296, is also falling hard. Coupes are now around €494,000, after losing 15.9% in a year. Spiders dropped 15.2%, bringing them closer in price to the 296 Spider than many expected.

U.S. vs. German market

While most trends align across the Atlantic, some differences exist. Notably, 296s are depreciating faster in the U.S. than in Germany. Meanwhile, special editions like the 458 Speciale and Pista surged in the U.S. but remained relatively flat in Germany.

This suggests that the current boom in special models may be more of an American phenomenon — at least for now.

What this means for buyers

• Value-conscious choices: Everything up to the 488 looks like a safe bet right now. The F355, 360, and 458 stand out as outperformers.

• High-risk, high-reward: Speciale and Pista values are climbing fast, but after such massive gains, entering the market now carries significant risk. They could continue upward — or correct sharply, just as we saw during the pandemic bubble.

• Avoid (for now): The 296 and SF90 remain the worst performers, losing nearly 20% annually. Unless you’re chasing the newest technology, these models are still depreciating too quickly to recommend as investments.

Conclusion

The Ferrari mid-engine market in 2025 is a story of divergence. Classic and early modern models have stabilized — some even appreciating — while the latest releases continue to shed value. For buyers looking at long-term ownership and minimized depreciation, almost every model up to the 488 looks attractive.

The exception? The high-flying special editions. If you’re willing to embrace risk, the Speciale and Pista could deliver further upside. But if you prefer stability, the F355, 360, and 458 may be the smarter play.

One thing is certain: the mid-engine Ferrari market is alive and moving — and for buyers with patience, opportunity is everywhere.
