By TTTR Go To PostSame story as 458 -> 488.
458, especially the spyder, don't really appreciate but they don't depreciate either. At least here in Germany.
Most of the low mileage and fully equipped cars are owned by people who love NA engines.
The difference between the 458 and a GT3 is the production volume of the 458 is absolutely tremendous. Rare it isn't. A 991 GT3 is lower volume, but once you factor in the extremely rare 6MT GT3 Touring model, that's where things get very interesting for a collector.

Maybe the speciale would be more appropriate as an example.
The GT3 isn't a rare sight for me. Most days i see a few of them cruising around when 9 out of 10 days one Ferrari is the maximum number. Otherwise one or two more.
[EDIT]: when looking at the production numbers there's a speculated volume of 6000 - 8000 GT3 RS alone. So GT3.1, GT3.2 and GT3RS combined i bet there are 10-12k GT3s. Or am i awfully wrong here?

Which is exactly what I'd want. It's basically a perfect sports car. Manual transmission, 500 HP, high revving V6 that sounds awesome, still pretty small and tossable. I can't wait to see if we get a Cayman GT4 with this motor and (hopefully) north of 450 HP. That'd be even better. Not that a 911 GT3 with RWS isn't close enough, regardless.

Worldwide? Sounds about right.
But the new Touring model is the one I'm harping on with my point, though. That's the 6MT model. There are no production numbers for it, since it's only a few months old. I don't even think American market has received any. But I know Chris Harris just got his...and Jerry Seinfeld congratulated him.

When comparing the whole series' (458 and GT3) i think my point still stands. Both NA, comparable production volume and holding their value pretty well. AND of course awesome cars.
Maybe we talked past each other. :)
