When people talk about alternative investments, watches, property, and crypto usually dominate the conversation. But Gordon Ramsay’s Ferrari collection proves there’s another asset class quietly outperforming many traditional investments: rare, limited-production Ferraris.

Ramsay isn’t just buying cars because he loves driving them. His garage reads like a masterclass in how to buy investment-grade supercars that don’t depreciate — and in many cases, massively outperform inflation.

Let’s break down Gordon Ramsay’s most impressive Ferrari investments and the real-world returns they’ve generated.


Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta (2016)

Purchase price (2016): £1,600,000

Specification: Bianco Italia (Pearl White)

Production numbers: 1 of 200 worldwide

Estimated value today: £7,000,000

Adjusted for inflation, £1.6 million in 2016 is roughly £2,217,000 today. That means Ramsay’s LaFerrari Aperta has delivered:

Gross inflation-adjusted return: £4,783,000

Total return: 215.74%

The Aperta represents increased exclusivity over the La Ferrari with extreme rarity and open-top desirability — the perfect recipe for long-term appreciation.


Ferrari LaFerrari Coupe (2015)

Purchase price (2015): £1,100,000

Specification: Grigio Silverstone

Production numbers: 1 of 499

Estimated value today: £4,000,000

Inflation-adjusted, £1.1 million in 2015 equals around £1,533,000 today. Ramsay’s return looks like this:

Gross inflation-adjusted return: £2,467,000

Total return: 160.93%

The LaFerrari coupe has become a benchmark modern collectible. It combines hybrid technology with a naturally aspirated V12 — a combination Ferrari will likely never repeat in the same way again.


Ferrari Monza SP2 (2019)

Purchase price (2019): £1,500,000

Specification: Black

Production numbers: 1 of 499

Estimated value today: £3,500,000

Adjusted for inflation, £1.5 million in 2019 equals approximately £1,939,000 today. That puts the numbers at:

Gross inflation-adjusted return: £1,561,000

Total return: 80.51%

The Monza SP2 is part of Ferrari’s Icona series — cars built specifically to become future classics. Ultra-low production, radical design, and Ferrari’s V12 heritage make it a textbook investment car.


Ferrari F12 TDF (2016)

Purchase price (2016): £400,000

Specification: Bianco Fuji

Production numbers: 1 of 799

Estimated value today: £900,000

Inflation-adjusted, £400,000 in 2016 is about £534,000 today, resulting in:

Gross inflation-adjusted return: £366,000

Total return: 68.54%

Often overlooked compared to Ferrari’s halo cars, the F12 TDF has quietly become one of the strongest modern V12 investments — especially as buyers chase “last of their kind” front-engined Ferraris.
