Ferrari Snapshot
Recognized by its rearing-stallion logo, sports carmaker Ferrari is up to speed, and then some. The Italian OEM eschews volume sales in favor of building its status brand around producing some 6,250 high-performance stylish sports cars a year, with a price tag starting at about $300,000. GT and sports models include the Italia, Scaglietti, California, and GTO. Ferrari's Formula 1 model brings a few select Ferrari drivers as close to a true racing experience as possible. Since 1947, the exclusive cars have been made in Maranello, Italy, the company's sole site, and sold through strategically selected dealerships. Fiat S.p.A. holds an 90% stake in Ferrari, Piero Ferrari, son of Ferrari's founder, owns 10%.
