What is a 'new car' record?

The Ferrari Luce set a record for a 'new car' sold publicly, meaning it was sold directly from the manufacturer or its representatives, rather than a pre-owned vehicle. This distinction is important in the car market, as used or classic cars often have their own separate record categories due to their unique histories and conditions.
