NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Ferrari has been making some of the hottest cars in the world since Enzo
Ferrari founded the company in 1929.
That's not likely to change now that Ferrari has announced its intention to
become a stand-alone business.
The company announced Tuesday it was breaking off from its Italian-American
parent Fiat Chrysler (FCAU).
It's been a tumultuous year for Ferrari. Long-time president, Luca Cordero
di Montezemolo, left in September after reportedly clashing with Fiat
Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
Since the shake up, Ferrari has announced plans to boost production by 5%,
or about 350 cars. That may not sound like much, but Ferrari's brand is
built on exclusivity -- production is normally capped at 7,000 cars per year.
Still, Ferraris are not exactly easy to come by.
Just last week, it unveiled the Ferrari Sergio, a car so limited and unique
that you have to be invited by Ferrari to buy it. The automaker is creating
only six Sergios and they're estimated to cost millions each.

A few weeks before that, at the Paris Auto Show, Ferrari debuted the 458
Speciale A.

This convertible can go from zero to 60 miles an hour in just three seconds
flat. If you want one, your chances are slim. The 458 Speciale A will be
sold to only 499 selected Ferrari collectors.
Fear not, there is one Ferrari that mere mortals can aspire to...assuming
you have $300,000 to spend. The Ferrari FF, the brand's first all-wheel-
drive family-friendly car, was introduced in 2012.

If that's still too steep for your taste, there's a race track in Las Vegas
where you can drive a Ferrari for just $100 per lap.

But, let's be honest, most Ferrari owners aren't too concerned about price.
The most expensive car ever sold at auction was a 1962-63 Ferrari GTO
Berlinetta, which went for $38 million earlier this year in California.

Some Ferrari collectors covet cars that were owned by celebrities. That was
the case with a classic 1976 Ferrari that sold for $10.2 million at an
auction earlier this year. The Ferrari belonged to the actor Steve McQueen,
known for his penchant for race cars. |
