Ferrari is a particularly litigious company. One of my good friends who is an independent Ferrari mechanic got a C&D from them for having the image of a Ferrari dealer sign show up when you searched him on Facebook. He didn't even post it. It was a local driver's group who tagged him in the post for an event that was sponsored by said dealer. He briefly tried to engage with their lawyers and explain it really had nothing to do with him, but was basically told they would bankrupt him unless he complied with their wishes to take down the Facebook post that wasn't his. They have harassed him in the past for advertising that he fixes Ferraris, even though it has been settled law for decades that this is legal.

I can't imagine they're making their money on unit sales, and Ferrari merchandise isn't exactly flying off the shelves... so where else do they make money?

  Their 2022 net income is 1 billion on 5 billion revenue, with that i think your imagination is just wrong. Ferrari is public and not a part of a larger car company.

  In Q2 of 2023. Just the commercial and brand revenue were 147 million up 18% from previous year. Seems like the Ferrari merch is actually flying off the shelves. Their finanacials are easily accessible for everyone to see. If you had looked them up before commenting. You wouldn't have been wrong on every single thing you sayed. https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/ferrari-upgrades-2023-guidance-on-exceptional-q2-2023-results-and-business-outlook https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/ferrari-upg...
