Is the Ferrari F430 a good investment?

The thesis

Lighter, faster sibling to the 16M: 503hp, 100kg weight saving, last NA/hydraulic-steering V8 coupe from Ferrari. Not limited-production (unlike 16M's 499), so ~2,000 built. Market currently £200–280k; standout examples have approached £1m+ at auction in 2026. The Scuderia coupe offers similar driving purity to the 16M at a significant discount, and the trajectory is identical—mid-cycle as the 'end of an era' thesis beds in.
