In this regard, there is something called the Lindy effect. This states that the longer something has existed, the greater the likelihood it will remain in existence well into the future.This effect makes a business such as Ferrari extremely durable. In turn, durable businesses typically attract higher valuation multiples.One of the most crucial aspects to understanding the Ferrari business model is the tiny volume of about 13 500 cars the company produces yearly.
Ferrari’s production is almost sold out for the next two years. Sometimes, this leads to misperceptions that Ferrari is a no-volume growth model. However, Ferrari can grow its future production volumes , provided it does so in a careful, controlled manner while tapping into new target markets.
A regular or"range" Ferrari, as the company calls them, is likely to slowly depreciate in hard currency terms, albeit at a slower rate than an everyday car. However, the anecdotes of people making meaningful returns from owning a physical Ferrari are usually on a limited-edition model. The collector owned at least 15 Ferraris at the time, which were considered worth a combined value of over $100 million. He sent a deposit cheque of $1 million to the then-CEO of Ferrari, who declined his offer. The collector subsequently withdrew his legal case against Ferrari.
