Porsche’s top sellers are SUVs (Macan/Cayenne) making up ~60% of sales, while the iconic 911 is only ~20%. Consumers buy the badge. Ferrari can replicate this “couture” model—selling ultra-luxury SUV/utility vehicles at high prices (e.g., $500K+) to the super-rich, leveraging brand cachet. The recent dip offers a buying opportunity; the market may be overreacting to the negative reception of the Ferrari Luce (SUV) reveal. Ferrari’s SUV (Luce) might fail commercially if brand purists reject it; regulatory/emission pressures on high‑emission vehicles; potential overhang from broader luxury‑auto slowdown.
