Ferrari - 512 (1981)
When you hear the roar of a Ferrari engine in a quiet street, your mind inevitably wanders to the legendary Ferrari 512. This iconic racing record breaker, first unveiled in 1981, set a new benchmark for automotive performance. While the external allure remains timeless, the market conversation has shifted toward a practical question: what is a 1981 Ferrari 512 worth? If you’re contemplating investment, collection, or simply indulging in automotive trivia, an understanding of the Ferrari 512 price puzzle is crucial. 2024 pricing data reflects not just past glory but also how the car’s age, condition, and rarity influence its valuation.

In assessing the Ferrari 512 depreciation curve, several variables surface. Ferraris, like most high‑performance cars, tend to lose roughly 15‑20 % of their value in the first year after purchase, mainly due to novelty depreciation and initial wear. Over a five‑year cycle, the car usually drops between 30‑40 % of its original value. This pattern holds true across all model years, but the Ferrari 512 1981 price command lines are stiffened by its rarity, making the depreciation curve more shallow compared to mass‑produced sports cars. A condition‑grade “like new” 1981 state might lose just 20 % over five years, whereas a well‑maintained yet “used” version
