there are two things you should know about the Ferrari F50. First, no one we know in all of the world has measured its performance. Second, it doesn't matter if you're richer than Ted and Jane; you can't buy one.This is true. And to make sense of it, we slogged slowly through a veritable Ripley's fun house of politics, behind-the-scenes arm-wrestling, and lifestyles of the rich and famous. So why can't you buy an F50 outright? Well, it isn't because all 55 of the U.S. allotment has been spoken ton. It's because the whole passel of F50s was offered only via a two-year lease whose various articles and codicils were fashioned by Ferrari North America (FNA). Even if you possess the requisite $240,000 down payment for the lease (not to mention sales tax and luxury tax), and even if you also are sufficiently affluent to swing the 24 payments of $5600 per month, you'll still have to summon a $150,000 final payment—again, two years down the cash-littered road—before you can truthfully refer to yourself as an F50 owner.
