Common questions

Which holds value better, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa or the Lamborghini Revuelto?

They are close to inseparable: 48% vs 48% retained after three years. Buy on price, spec and the deal you can get, not on resale.

Which is cheaper to own over three years?

Depreciation is the biggest ownership cost. The Ferrari 849 Testarossa loses about R 6 378 808 over three years and the Lamborghini Revuelto loses about R 6 611 234. Fuel, insurance and servicing can narrow or widen that, but the depreciation gap is the number to start from.

What do they cost per month?

On typical finance (10% deposit, 72 months, 11.75%), the Ferrari 849 Testarossa runs about R 215 858 per month and the Lamborghini Revuelto about R 223 723, before fees and insurance.
