Default HyperCar Cost Inflation
I've been astounded by the prices of the new hypercars, the 918 Porsche, the McLaren P1, the recently unveiled Ferrari Laferrari and the Lamborghini Veneno, so I did this little exercise:
1988 List Price 2013 List Price
Ford Taurus $12,000 Ford Taurus $21,700 (1.8x)
Mercedes SL $61,000 Mercedes SL $120,000 (1,96x)
Ferrari 328 $71,000 Ferrari 458 $260,000 (3.66x)
Porsche 911 $51,000 Porsche 911 $90,000 (1.76x)
Porsche 959 $300,000 Porsche 918 $950,000 (3.8x)
Ferrari F40 $400,000 Ferrari Laferrari $2,000,000 (5x)
Lambo Countach $120,000 Lambo Aventador ($376,000) (3.13x)
So base 911s and Tauruses have not quite doubled in price, but the hyper Ferrari is up 5 times, with everyone else in between.
While I think it is very pretty, a two million dollar price for a Ferrari is just crazy..
