The Ferrari car market looks to have taken an unexpected turn in the past week.
The supercar and exotic market has been a turbulent place for some time, particularly when it comes to the value of Ferraris.
YouTuber and founder of VINwiki, Ed Bolian, recently spoke about what’s been happening in the Ferrari market and how it has recently taken an unexpected turn.
While a Ferrari will always hold a solid and high value, trajectories over the past 30 days, according to Bolian, have changed quite a bit.

What has happened in the Ferrari car market?
According to Bolian, some of the values of Ferrari supercars have shot through the roof recently.
He cited a couple that have sold on Bring a Trailer, such as a 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M that sold for $802,000.
That is around twice what the car was thought to be worth.
Bolian said the market has exploded, despite a tricky time for Ferrari and its relationship with customers.
A Ferrari F50 that used to belong to Ralph Lauren also sold big at Monterey 2025 for over $9 million.
But what caught Bolian’s eye was how some supercars fetched the numbers they did.
These are cars that aren’t considered as ‘special’ as others, yet still sold for big money.
Some cars sold for more than expected at Monterey
One of those cars was a 2011 599 GTO.
Finished in the more common Rosso Corsa color, it sold for a staggering $2 million.
Bolian said they would normally sell for around $1 million.
A similarly impressive transaction was for a 2005 Superamerica, with its removable roof, and that sold for $852,000.
That again, according to Bolian, is probably twice what it is worth.
A 550 Maranello and 599 GTB both sold for $368, again higher than what you would expect for those.
Clearly, something has stirred in the market in recent days, which has come as a shock to Bolian and others.
The next question is, will these sales be an indicator for the rest of the market?
The next few months could be very interesting.
