Ferrari N.V.'s Growth & Acquisition Strategy

Ferrari's strategy is 'multi-energy': it sells combustion, plug-in hybrid and now fully electric cars side by side, built in-house at the e-building in Maranello that opened in June 2024. Growth comes from mix (hypercars such as the F80, the Purosangue and special series), personalization, sponsorship and lifestyle income, rather than from big volume increases.

How Ferrari N.V. Makes Money

Ferrari N.V. operates a unique ultra-luxury business model that blends high-performance automotive engineering with luxury goods brand exclusivity. Revenue is generated across four primary streams: Cars and Spare Parts (over 85% of net revenues, driven by shipments of Range, Special Series, and Icona/Supercar models including the 296 GTB, SF90 Stradale, Purosangue, and 12Cilindri), Sponsorship, Commercial and Brand (Formula 1 Scuderia Ferrari racing sponsorship agreements, commercial rights from Formula 1 participation, and luxury retail merchandise licensing), Engine Sales (historically supplying Maserati with V6 and V8 engines), and Financial Services (providing retail customer financing and leasing in the United States and Europe). Ferrari ships approximately 13,000 vehicles annually, deliberately capping production to maintain long waiting lists and high residual resale values.

Ferrari Acquisitions FAQ

What companies does Ferrari own?

Ferrari essentially owns nothing but itself. In 1969, Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of the company to Fiat to secure massive financial stability (and Ford famously tried to buy them but Enzo brutally rejected Henry Ford II). Today, Ferrari is fully independent and fiercely avoids acquiring other brands.
