Known issues by generation
The Ferrari Sergio is equipped with the F136 4.5L naturally-aspirated V8, which requires periodic timing-chain service at 60-80k miles—though most examples remain under 2000 miles and typically do not require this service yet. The 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch transmission may also experience wear at high mileage, necessitating attention from authorized Ferrari dealers. Given its bespoke Pininfarina-Cambiano coachbuilt bodywork, any cosmetic damage may require specialized restoration, typically costing significantly due to the rarity of parts.
