Every four-seat Ferrari from the 330 GTE onwards has followed a familiar arc: a high entry price, steep depreciation, a period in the wilderness, and then classic recognition. What’s changing is the speed of that cycle. Model by model, the “depreciation cliff” is getting shorter—and the Ferrari FF may be next to tighten in supply at today’s prices.

Ferrari FF depreciation and why the cycle is speeding up

A good example is the contrast between earlier Ferrari 2+2 models and newer ones. An Eighties Ferrari 400i stayed cheap for around 25 years. By comparison, the Ferrari FF (2011–2016) had already completed its major depreciation phase by 2021 and was showing signs of recovery by 2023.

It hasn’t exploded in value, but there are credible reasons it could become harder to find a good one at current money—especially low-mileage, well-maintained cars.

 Ferrari FF prices today (realistic ranges)

Recent results suggest bargains still appear—like a 2012 Ferrari FF with 15,000 miles in Grigio Ingrid selling for £66,000 via Collecting Cars in autumn. Realistically, that may be an outlier.

For pampered examples from a dealer, the sweet spot is typically £80,000 to £110,000, ideally backed by a watertight extended warranty.

Quick pricing guide (UK, typical market):

  • £60k–£75k: usually needs sorting, patchy history, higher risk

  • £80k–£110k: best balance of condition, history, and spec

  • £110k+: standout mileage/spec/history, often “collector-grade”

Why the Ferrari FF still looks like a “modern Ferrari”

The FF was over £300,000 new, which isn’t ancient history. That’s the kind of money you’d now spend on a nearly-new Ferrari 812 GTS—another front-engined V12 machine.

To most people, the FF still looks and sounds like a modern Ferrari, helped by the fact that the similar-looking GTC4 Lusso remained in production until 2020.

What makes the FF special (and more collectible)

The FF has several factors working in its favour:

  • First-ever 4WD Ferrari (production model)

  • First factory shooting brake body

  • More “driver’s car” credibility than the softer GTC4 Lusso and the V8 turbo GTC4 Lusso T

  • The whole line has now ended—replaced by the Purosangue, which is an SUV and costs around £500k new

For some buyers, that last point is the big one: there may never be another front-engined V12 Ferrari shooting brake like it.

Known issues (PTU, warning lights) and why specialists matter

Yes, the FF can bring the usual Ferrari realities:

  • The PTU (front axle gearbox) can be troublesome

  • The “Ferrari warning-light bingo” experience is real

The good news is that the industry has moved forward. Rather than replacing whole units, many specialists now focus on rebuilding and resealing transmission components. Parts supply is still strong, and the cars haven’t yet reached the “locked away forever” stage.

This makes the FF attractive for used Ferrari fans: the knowledge base is stronger than it used to be, and you can still find cars being properly driven and maintained.

Running costs vs depreciation (the real ownership maths)

Buying an FF always required accepting that this is where the spending begins—not where it ends. But if values gradually rise, you get a rare opportunity in Ferrari ownership: offsetting running costs against reduced depreciation.

In other words, with the right warranty and a well-chosen example, FF ownership can compare surprisingly well with the depreciation hit on newer alternatives like:

  • Audi RS6

  • Porsche Panamera

  • BMW M5

 What to look for when buying a Ferrari FF

Checklist for smarter shopping:

  • Full service history (specialist stamps are a plus)

  • Evidence of PTU/transmission work or inspection

  • Strong diagnostics record (less “mystery electrics”)

  • Matching tyres and correct spec (FFs can be sensitive to mismatched setups)

  • Extended warranty that clearly covers major drivetrain components

FAQ

Is the Ferrari FF going up in value?
It’s shown signs of stabilising and modest growth since the early-2020s depreciation low. Good, low-mileage examples may tighten in supply.

What is a fair price for a good Ferrari FF?
Dealer-sold, well-kept cars often sit around £80,000–£110,000, depending on mileage, history, and condition.

What’s the biggest mechanical risk on an FF?
The PTU/front axle gearbox is the best-known talking point, along with typical Ferrari electrical warning issues. Specialist inspection is essential.

Should I buy without a warranty?
A strong extended warranty can be a major advantage, especially if you’re using the car regularly.

    Very nice FF Ferrari FF is one of the most underrated grand tourers Ferrari has ever built. When it debuted, it shocked traditionalists because it didn’t follow the expected Ferrari formula: it had a bold shooting-brake body, four real seats, all-wheel drive, and a focus on usability that seemed almost too practical for the badge. But that is exactly what makes the FF so special. It is not a compromise — it is a brilliantly engineered expression of Ferrari’s ability to combine outrageous performance with everyday versatility.

    At the heart of the Ferrari FF is a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12, and that alone places it in a very rare category. In an era where turbocharging and downsizing became the norm, the FF delivered the kind of emotional, high-revving, instantly responsive power that enthusiasts now cherish even more. The engine produces a thrilling soundtrack, rising from a deep, cultured growl to a ferocious scream at high RPM, and it gives the car a sense of occasion every single time it starts. This is not just fast transportation — it feels alive, dramatic, and deeply mechanical in the best Ferrari tradition.
    Performance is another reason the FF deserves far more respect than it often gets. Despite being a four-seat grand tourer with luggage space and genuine long-distance comfort, it is brutally quick. It accelerates with the force expected from a flagship supercar, yet it remains composed, stable, and confidence-inspiring. Ferrari’s unique all-wheel-drive system gives the FF a level of traction and year-round usability that was almost unheard of for a V12 exotic at the time. This means the FF is one of the few Ferraris that can genuinely be enjoyed in poor weather, on long road trips, and in real-world conditions without losing its character.

    Its design is also much more intelligent than many people first realized. The proportions are unconventional, yes, but they are purposeful. The shooting-brake silhouette creates a distinctive identity that separates the FF from every other Ferrari. It is elegant in a different way: muscular, practical, and refined rather than overtly theatrical. Over time, the design has aged extremely well because it was never trying to chase trends. It has become one of those cars that makes more sense the longer you look at it. It feels original, confident, and genuinely unique in Ferrari’s history.

    Inside, the Ferrari FF offers something that many high-performance cars fail to deliver: true usability. The rear seats are not symbolic — they are actually functional. The cabin is luxurious, beautifully crafted, and designed for long journeys as much as spirited driving. It feels like a car made for owners who want to experience Ferrari not only on special occasions, but as part of their real lifestyle. That duality is the FF’s biggest strength. It can cross countries in comfort, carry passengers and luggage, and still deliver the emotional intensity of a V12 Ferrari whenever the road opens up.

    What makes the FF especially compelling today is how modern it still feels while representing a disappearing era. It belongs to that sweet spot where Ferrari combined advanced technology with old-school naturally aspirated drama. It offers presence, speed, prestige, and practicality in a package that no longer really exists in the same form. That gives it a unique appeal in the collector market and among enthusiasts who understand just how rare its formula is.
    In many ways, the Ferrari FF was ahead of its time. It proved that a Ferrari could be spacious, comfortable, and versatile without losing its soul. It challenged outdated assumptions about what a Ferrari had to be, and in doing so, it created its own niche. Today, that originality is exactly why it stands out. The FF is not just an unusual Ferrari — it is one of the most complete and intelligent Ferrari road cars ever made: fast, charismatic, practical, and powered by one of the last great naturally aspirated V12s of its kind.

      @Votren Artemas I’ve owned many interesting cars, but the Ferrari FF is one of the few that truly feels special every single time I drive it. What makes it unique is that it gives you the full Ferrari emotion — the sound, the power, the drama of a naturally aspirated V12 — but in a package you can actually use in real life. That combination is incredibly rare.

      The engine is the heart of the car. Every start-up feels like an event, and once you get on the throttle, the sound is absolutely addictive. It has that classic Ferrari character: sharp, emotional, and alive. The response is instant, the power delivery is smooth and relentless, and the car feels far lighter and more agile than people expect.

      What surprised me most as an owner is how versatile the FF really is. It’s not just a weekend toy. You can take it on long trips, carry luggage, drive with passengers in real comfort, and even use it in conditions where most exotic cars would stay parked. The all-wheel-drive system gives a lot of confidence, especially in bad weather, and it makes the car feel usable all year round.

      The design also grew on me more and more over time. In person, it has real presence. It looks elegant, muscular, and different from anything else Ferrari has made. It doesn’t try to be conventional, and that’s part of its charm. People who understand cars immediately recognize how special it is.
      Inside, it feels like a true grand tourer with Ferrari soul. The cabin is comfortable, beautifully made, and practical enough to enjoy regularly, but it never loses that sense of occasion. Every drive feels premium, fast, and emotional.

      For me, the Ferrari FF is one of the best real-world Ferraris ever built. It’s a car that lets you enjoy a V12 Ferrari experience without sacrificing comfort or usability. It’s fast, rare, practical, and full of character — and as an owner, that’s exactly why I appreciate it so much.
