At Ferrari, they care about their image and therefore refuse to sell cars to customers who don’t like Italian supercars. There were some celebrities on the “black” list.
Money isn’t always everything, even when it comes to expensive supercars. For major automakers like Ferrari, reputation plays a huge role. The Italian company therefore imposed a verbal ban on the sale of new cars to a number of wealthy drivers who had compromised themselves. This was reported by the Hotcars site.
The “black list” includes millionaires who, according to Ferrari management, do not appreciate supercars that damage the brand’s image and have a bouncing stallion in their logo. They often talk disparagingly about cars, don’t care for them properly, or prefer very exaggerated Ferrari tunings.
There are also some celebrities on the list. Of course they can buy a used Ferrari if they want, but they won’t be able to order a new supercar.
Chris Harris
A well-known journalist and host of the Top Gear show is a Ferrari expert, but fell out of favor due to a broadcast. In the article, he said that improved Ferrari supercars were given to journalists to test to receive positive reviews, and that very good cars did not go on sale.
After that, Chris Harris was no longer given a Ferrari for a test drive and can’t even afford an Italian supercar.
Justin bieber
The star Canadian singer is a lover of extravagant tuning. The limited coupe completed the Ferrari 458 Italia F1 Edition at the famous West Coast Customs studio (this is where the cars are tuned in at the “Pimp My Car” show).
The car was lowered, a body kit was added and a blue film was pasted on it. Additionally, tuners mocked the Ferrari logo, which seemed disrespectful to Italians.
Moreover, after one of the crazy parties in Los Angeles, Justin Bieber lost his Ferrari. The singer drank alcohol and forgot where he parked. The car was found only three weeks later.
50 cents
The famous rapper is known for sticking his hand in his pocket and not saying a word. When the battery in his Ferrari 488 died, he hurried to talk about it on social networks. He posted a photo of a supercar in a tow truck and spoke disparagingly about the car using profanity.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has a strange taste when it comes to cars, to say the least. He once painted all his cars the same color and “dressed” the Lamborghini Urus crossover in a fur coat.
He did not replace Ferrari, however, but suffered as he received an Italian supercar as a wedding gift from a Malaysian businessman suspected of financial fraud. Kim Kardashian denies this, but it looks like Ferrari has decided not to lose its credibility.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The richest boxer of all time has owned hundreds of cars in his life, some rare and special models don’t stay in his garage long and are sold a few months after they’re purchased. That’s what Ferrari didn’t like.
The fact is that buyers of limited collection versions of Ferrari are often forced to sign an agreement in which they undertake not to sell the car for a year. It seems that Floyd Mayweather Jr. He has repeatedly violated such an agreement.
Previously Focus He said Ferrari plans to sell its unique supercar for $25 million.
