When most people think of Ferrari, they think of expensive cars that hold their value — and sometimes even rise.

But the truth is: not all Ferraris are created equal.

Some modern Ferraris depreciate heavily.
Others quietly outperform the market and become investment-grade.

Hugh Grant’s Ferrari F12 TDF is one of the latter.

The F12 TDF: A Modern Ferrari That Holds Value

The Ferrari F12 TDF is one of the last pure front-engined V12 Ferraris — a car that represents the end of an era.

And it’s becoming increasingly obvious that collectors are rewarding this fact.

Why the F12 TDF is Special:

  • Naturally aspirated V12

  • Limited production

  • Driver-focused performance

  • Timeless design

Hugh Grant Bought His F12 TDF New in 2016

Hugh Grant purchased his Ferrari F12 TDF new in 2016 for £400,000.

Today, that same car would be worth £900,000.

That means the F12 TDF has delivered:

£500,000 gross profit in just 10 years

That’s a return most people would be thrilled to achieve in the stock market — let alone on a car.

Why Some Ferraris Hold Value and Others Don’t

The F12 TDF is proof that the market rewards:

  • Rarity

  • Purity

  • End-of-era engineering

  • Strong emotional appeal

Whereas modern Ferrari models such as the 296, SF90, Roma and Purosangue are currently facing oversupply and questionable design — leading to depreciation.

The F12 TDF represents the kind of Ferrari car collectors want more of, not less.

This Is Why Cars Can Be Real Investments

The key is not buying the newest model — it’s buying the right model.

Cars that hold value are usually:

  • Last of their kind

  • Limited production

  • Loved by enthusiasts

The F12 TDF ticks all these boxes.
