Ah, in 18yrs. I didn't see that being the caveat. Under normal circumstances then I would agree that an F8 wouldn't appreciate in 18yrs since they never released a Pista/Stradale version for it. However, the difference I think that needs to be considered is the fact that ICE cars will be done away with in only a few more years. The same way gated manuals hold a noticeable appreciation even still to this day over DCT/SCT counterparts I think ICE supercars will hold their value once everything has gone electric for supercars. Whether that will be the case, who's to say. Whether it would appreciate an amount to make an 18yr investment even worth it, same answer. The upcoming landscape will be interesting in this regard. Hypercars and limited run supercars like a Daytona or LaFerrari are exceptions to the norm, especially being Ferrari but if not for the electric mandates, I'd agree with you fairly easily. Instead Im just skeptical.Question is whether it will be worth that in 18 years, when that child is a man. It won't even be half the value.
Once again because of how many they made and how unselective they were in picking owners , it's comparable to an f355 or 360 from two decades ago which have all depreciated dramatically, irregardless of mileage or specs. There were thousands of these things made, and any Tom, dikk, and Harry could get one with the right banking job or celeb gig.
The long term value in your rari is how many other people have it also. In my earlier post I mentioned the Enzo or FXXX which are comparable to a modern SP3, of which only 600 exist. And they screen you heavily to get a buy offer.
And note that the SP3 costs 4 times as much as an f8, before the secondary market where it costs even more.
Just like their precursors the Enzo or FXXX , those SP3 will more than double in value by 2043 when that kid is grown.
