If the other members of your Ferrari owner’s club are simply too common for your posh, multi-million dollar Ferrari tastes, then you maybe in luck. Ferrari is reportedly looking at creating a club specifically for collectors, which could offer members the chance to buy limited-edition Ferrari models before the less rich masses can get their hands on them. How do you join this ultra-exclusive club? Just show your Ferrari collection at the door.

The idea for the new club came after the launch of  the limited-edition roadster version of the 599 GTB —  the SA Aperta — last year, which had a slim production run of just 80 units at a cost of about $545,000 each. Apparently several top  Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors were left out in the cold and were unable to  secure one of the 80 cars, which were built to celebrate 80 years of Italian design house Pininfarina. To address this problem, Ferrari CEO Luca di  Montezemolo is considering giving club members first refusal on special Ferrari  models.

“I don’t want our faithful collectors to miss the opportunity to buy one of our special series,” Montezemolo told Automotive News in an  interview.

Exclusivity when it comes to luxury cars isn’t particularly uncommon — Bugatti, for example, is thought to have a waiting list of over a year and has been known to see customers by appointment only — but automakers rarely discuss it openly.

The club will likely require members to own five or more Ferrari models. Though that may sound like a very small minority, Ferrari says there are about  300 collectors worldwide that would qualify for membership. The club would be  even more exclusive than the existing Ferrari owner’s clubs, which are made up of about 13,000 members in more than 30 countries. Those clubs are very active, keeping members busy with track days, concours events, gala dinners, and various charity outings.

To further enrich the Ferrari ownership experience, Montezemolo is also planning an annual sightseeing and driving event for collectors. Called the “Ferrari Cavalcade,” this once-a-year pilgrimage is meant to offer Ferrari  owners a better understanding of the cars and  the country that builds them by taking enthusiasts to different regions of Italy each year beginning next spring. A total of 120 spots will be available on the tour, with a certain number allocated to each market. Ferrari owners will get to explore Italian back roads, and also get the chance to drive Ferrari’s Fiorano test track in Maranello as well as Florence’s historic race track il Mugello.

Are you one of the lucky few who will be part of this exclusive collectors club?

How did you like the two Ferrari 458 Italia videos? I know that it took awhile to load. I’m testing it out for now to see how it goes. If you want more videos, let me know. I’ll try to put more on the blog. I have to find out if I can optimize the videos so it doesn’t take so long to load. I’m working with about a seven year old computer so I have less power than the latest ones. If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to say something.
