In 2018 I can easily imagine that there's already a waitlist and in order to buy it you have to be a LaFerrari, Enzo, F40 or F50 owner....so there's that...

And people say there is no bubble in the luxury goods market.

This book... game, set, match.

Only first 250 are $30K - hmmm...sort of like the new SS Rolex models...

So, if you buy a PreciousMetal Ferrari Book at @$30k , you can then get a StainlessSteel Ferrari book @$6k? Makes sense to me.

So, it´s not safe to drink milk next to the book. We need a sticky to keep track of all the not safe to ............ information that will become available.

Bugatti is the VW Group.... known for major offensive abuse on their customers. VW's Bentley brand is equally as horrid. They cant even get you a proper chipped secure replacement key for a 10 year old Bentley.

A fool and their money...

Can't disagree with that regarding the VW group!

30k for the first 250, only 6k for the rest.

The "art" edition with the Ferrari engine case looking thing could only work in a single guy's house. 30k or not, my wife would through that in the trash.

Almost as expensive when Ferrari offered me three day passes for the Formula one race in Montreal in June. I responded yes and the they sent me an invoice for $33,000 . Needles to say, I cancelled that order! I thought it was a perk they offered as being a late model Ferrari owner and they said to qualify I need to have a minimum of ten Ferrari purchases in the last five years. Nope. Not me.
