Ferrari is one of the few companies that strongly values its customers. Recently, their marketing and commercial director Enrico Galliera said that the company keeps documentation of almost all the cars it has produced. If necessary, the company has a way to produce new parts to keep its cars on the road.
In an interview with Australian magazine Drive, Galliera said: “Ferrari is a car that we want our customers to enjoy for the next 10, 15 or 50 years. So it’s important that every component, not just mechanical but also electrical, is available in the future.”
New parts are produced using modern production techniques, including 3D printing. Original technical documents are also useful when repairing oldtimers. In addition to restorations, the company offers to improve the car beyond the specifications, such as installing a new battery for the previous LaFerrari, which has a longer life. This is especially important for a hypercar that is rarely driven and spends most of its life in a garage.
Also, Ferrari decided to manufacture some parts themselves instead of getting them from third parties for their F80 model. Galliera pointed out that the front engine is more compact and 36 kilograms lighter than that of the SF90 Stradale. By doing the work in-house, Ferrari has more control and can offer the necessary support for the next 20 to 30 years.
