How to read this forecast
P50 is the model median. The outer shading spans P10–P90; the darker band spans P25–P75. These are model quantiles, not verified probabilities or observed sale prices. The calculation extends the modeled trend and volatility; it does not include new listings, vehicle condition or transaction costs.

Overview
Ferrari presented the completed one-off in May 2012.

Ferrari's release confirms the participants and inspiration but does not publish a transaction price, separate power figure or public production-market evidence.
