Sure, Ferrari has been announced World’s Most Powerful Company for the second year working by London-based authorities Brand name Finance. Maranello’s finest was the only car organization to achieve an ‘AAA+’ in the study, which often takes into account customer loyalty, investment, and the whole bunch of elements Top Gear doesn’t grasp.
BMW and Porsche accomplished an ‘AAA’ rating, along with Toyota, VW and Mercedes also ranked highly.
Ferrari also announced today this sold fewer cars in 2013 than 2012, but made more money. Cool trick.
Limiting supply had been a deliberate strategy, stated Ferrari, to ‘maintain a new high level of exclusivity and increase their [cars’] value above time’. Maranello delivered merely under seven thousand automobiles in 2013, down five per cent on 2012, but the company documented a net profit associated with just over £200m, upwards five per cent.
In total, Ferrari’s total revenues rose to £1. 89bn last year, boosted by simply an increase in profits from ‘brand related activities’. Yep, that’s the theme parks plus the dressing robes and the teddies.
Ferrari’s biggest market in 2013 was the USA, in which the company sold 2, 035 cars. We in typically the UK are the biggest Ferrari fans in Europe, getting 677 cars last year. But just 205 Ferraris were sold in Italy.
Even so, Ferrari’s looking in rude shape. Which usually is good news for all those of us who like our supercars reddish, shiny and extremely, very fast.
So tell us: if you were in charge of Ferrari’s newly-plumped coffers, what would you spend the cash developing?
