FERRARI'S HALO IS SHINING

Maranello’s so-called Big Five, both individually and as the ultimate set’, are riding out recent market fluctuations

THERE ARE WAYS to show that you're a serious car collector.

Owning a top-flight concours Best in Show winner, a works racing car or the prototype of a famous model makes a statement, but for those who love more modern classics there's one hand that beats everything else on the table: the Ferrari halo car collection.

Owning just one 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo or LaFerrari declares that an owner is very serious but, for many, that's not enough.

Hagerty's global data shows that for collectors who own at least one of the halo cars known as the Big Five, 31% own more than one example, and around 3% own all five.
