What if Ferrari told you not to buy a used supercar without thinking twice? In this special Motor283 episode from Maranello, we uncover why Ferrari does not recommend buying pre-owned models casually, and what they offer instead. With exclusive track time behind the wheel of the SF90 and 296 GTB, we experience firsthand what certified performance feels like.
Because owning a Ferrari should never come with doubts. That’s why they created the Ferrari Approved Program. This isn’t a basic inspection; it's a 190-point deep dive into every part of the car, checking history, condition, and mechanical soundness. The program includes a 2-year factory warranty and applies to Ferraris up to 16 years old, ensuring they run and feel like new. It’s a way to own the legend, minus the risk.
We drove the SF90 on the Fiorano track and toured the hills of Maranello in the Roma Spider. Both proved that performance and elegance don’t fade with age if the car is certified. Ferrari ensures the original balance and thrill remain untouched, restoring hybrid components and adjusting weight to maintain identical handling.
