Acquired
Ferrari

Yes, domestically from BYD, Xiaomi, and others.

This is having a huge impact on brands that expanded into China in the last decade, like we talked a lot about on our Porsche episode.

But China is only 7% of Ferrari's sales, down from 10% at its peak.

Acquired

Now, Porsche, on the other hand, China was 33% of their deliveries a few years ago, which has collapsed all the way to 15% and continues to fall.

So the question then is, is Ferrari any less desirable today in China than it was five years ago?

Acquired

And does it fill a different enough job to be done than the domestic supercars for them to sort of weather that storm?

Acquired
Ferrari

I think my answers on this are there are domestic supercars in China.

Acquired
Ferrari

They're still not Ferrari level in terms of desirability, certainly not brand heritage.

Acquired
Ferrari

They don't have the meth.

Unless there's a sentiment change where people in China only want to buy domestic supercars, I mean, that's sort of a risk to them.

Acquired

But I think the thing that you're buying, the signal you're trying to send when you buy a Ferrari is not really at risk.

Acquired

Acquired
Ferrari

Well, should we just start with brand?
