At the same time, the Italian sports car manufacturer screwed up the profit forecast a little higher, according to a statement on Tuesday. The forecast for the operating profit (Ebitda) raised the management around the new CEO Benedetto Vigna to 1.52 billion euros. Before that, Ferrari had forecast a range of 1.45 to 1.50 billion euros.
In terms of sales, the company from Maranello struck a somewhat more cautious note: Ferrari now also considers a lower value than the previously promised 4.3 billion euros to be possible. Worldwide, however, between July and September 2,750 vehicles of the luxury brand rolled to customers with the rearing horse. That is 19 percent more than in the same period last year.
Ferrari, like other luxury car manufacturers, benefits from the fact that particularly wealthy buyers are less affected by the economic consequences of the pandemic. Volume manufacturers, on the other hand, are suffering more from the crisis. Ferrari is not talking about the chip crisis that is causing problems for major car manufacturers around the world.
