Over 90 percent of all Ferraris ever built are still on the road today, according to the carmaker.
Ferrari has built more than 300,000 vehicles, and almost every single one of them is still in good working condition.
This is partly because they’re clearly well made.
But the fact that most Ferrari owners don’t actually drive their car probably helps.

Why most Ferraris are still on the road today
According to Andrea Scioletti, Head of Ferrari’s pre-owned program, well over 90 percent of all Ferraris ever built are still in working condition.
Ferrari actually makes sure that number stays high thanks to the ‘Ferrari Approved’ program, which restores old models and keeps them in good shape.
The company takes good care of its cars, with warranties of up to 24 months for cars up to 16 years old or 75,000 miles.
Then there’s unlimited-mile warranty for new supercars, and owners can rest safe in the knowledge that original parts for classic models are always available.
The elephant in the room
Ferraris are well-built vehicles, no doubt about that.
But the elephant in the room must be addressed: most Ferrari owners don’t drive their cars.
There are of course exceptions, for example there’s the famous Enzo that did over 100,000 miles, but for the most part, Ferrari customers treat their cars like assets, not vehicles to get from A to B.
The secondary market has exploded in recent years, with pre-owned models selling for absurd amounts, almost always well above the original MSRP.
This is the reason why sometimes you’ve got Ferrari F430s, which by the way isn’t even a limited-edition model, hitting the market with only 70 miles on the clock after over a decade.
It’s also, in part, the reason why maintaining a supercar is so costly.
Ferrari wants owners to stay on top of maintenance, whether they drive their car twice a year or twice a day.
This is because if they don’t, it will A, invalidate warranty and B, make their cars lose value.
