If you're holding back from ordering your LaFerrari (or perhaps the next-generation mega-car that will replace it) because you want right-hand drive, you're out of luck.
The chances of Ferrari building future versions of its top-line and highest performance models with the steering wheel on the right are almost zero
That's the opinion of the man with a say in some of the Italian icon's largest potential RHD markets, Ferrari Australasia boss Herbert Appleroth.
Speaking to motoring.com.au at the local unveiling of the twin-turbo V8 California T in Melbourne this week, Appleroth said simply: "I personally can’t see it."
"I mean right now we’re [Ferrari] building a thorough business model; so in the future it will be one third [of sales] from Europe, one third from Asia, one third from North America," he explained.
"[But] Look at the Americas, there is no right hand drive markets -- maybe Brazil, but only very, very small. If you look at Europe, there is really only the UK.
"If you look at Asia, it’s really only officially Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong... Because Japan, even though it’s right hand drive, it’s actually left-hand drive," he commented.
"So you’re looking at 10 per cent of the [total production] volume.
"That’s probably more of a commercial decision of the engineering which goes into these cars... and I don’t really think it’s that important actually, because our clients have houses all over the world," he stated.
