Didn't they hike their prices up massively - especially with the 458.

I seem to remember the 360 was a shade over £100k for the coupe and the 458 starts at £170k I think.

I think they have. I lived 200 yards away from the Ferrari dealership in South Ken and I remember at bonus time a lot of brand new cars would appear at far higher than list. It did look as though the dealer was pricing to market and perhaps Ferrari preferred to capture that themselves!

A Ferrari road car to drive in the Mille Miglia or Targa Florio

A Ferrari for adolescence boys bedroom walls.

Not true of course but you get my drift.

Surprised that sales of merchandise etc..is £7million.. That doesn't seem a lot worldwide....I know you have to sell some shirts, coats and watches etc. but with F1 I'd have thought this would be more...
