Why Ferrari Refuses to Sell You a Car

Ferrari builds around 13,000 cars a year, yet it consistently outearns car manufacturers that produce millions.

We dig into Ferrari's Formula 1 team, its sponsorship deals, heritage bonuses, and how racing funds the brand's mystique while the brand funds racing. We also cover Ferrari's licensing empire, including its branded theme parks, retail stores, and merchandise, plus the booming classic car market where vintage Ferraris trade for tens of millions of dollars.

We also explore the risks facing Ferrari's model, including the shift to electric vehicles and changing luxury spending habits among the ultra-wealthy.
