Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Why 5.3: The base spec is the F1 automated manual nearly every buyer chose; the number that matters is the roughly 30 built with a genuine gated manual, making this the final stick-shift V12 Ferrari ever sold. Values on the F1 cars stayed soft long enough that this remains one of the most attainable ways into a naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 — the manual cars trade in an entirely different universe.

The long version
Ferrari offered a true manual gearbox alongside the F1 automated manual for most of this car's run, and almost nobody took it — of the roughly 30 manual cars built, most went to American buyers, with only a handful staying in Europe. That imbalance means the F1 majority and the manual minority now live completely separate lives: the automated cars depreciated like any other high-production Ferrari and get driven accordingly, while the handful of manual cars trade as standalone collector pieces disconnected from the rest of the model's values. Succeeded by the F12 in 2012, the 599 still reads as the more usable, less precious V12 Ferrari of the two.
