Simple question, "What's the difference between a Porsche lover and a Ferrari lover?"

Porsche Cayman GT4
My Family's Car Life

One day, a question occurred to me.

Why are Porsche fans so different from Ferrari fans?One day it occurred to me. Porsche fans are quite geeky... When I glanced at the posts in the Porsche lovers' facebook group that my husband is a member of, I was surprised to see many geeky posts such as "What about air-cooling" and "I finally finished breaking in the car after 200,000 km. I was surprised at how many geeky posts there were.

And about the Porsche Driving School.

I knew there were a lot of geeks among Porsche fans. When other people were running, there were a lot of people who were mumbling to themselves, "I see, that's how they do it.

My husband often says. On the other hand, I think many Ferrari fans are fashionable people who look like they just stepped out of "LEON" magazine.

Compare Porsche and Ferrari

So I compared Porsche and Ferrari.

Porsche (German car brand) Ferrari
 Establishment 1931.  1947
 name of company Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG Ferrari NV
 Direct translation of company name F ・Porsche Honorary Doctor of Engineering, Ltd. Ferrari K.K.
 Head Office Location Germany Italy
 manufactured article Luxury sports car/racing car Luxury sports car/supercar/racing car
 Sales (2017) €23.5 billion (approx. 3,061 billion yen) €3,417 million (approximately 469 billion yen)
 Production (2017) 246,375 units 8398 units
 Profit per unit (2017) 1,940,000 yen 11 million yen

*From the Wikipedia article on Porsche and Ferrari.

The literal translation of Porsche's company name is.Porsche Honorary Doctor of Engineering, Inc.(Laughs) Also, looking at the profit per car, Ferrari's profit has increased even more, and is now 12 million yen.(Incidentally, BMW is 560,000 yen, Toyota 210,000 yen, and Subaru 360,000 yen)

I can't believe they make 12 million yen from selling one unit (; ))))...

Porsche's $1,940,000 is also high enough for the average car maker, but it's really amazing - Ferrari.

Let's replace it with a clock.

I'm not a management consultant or a motoring journalist, so I don't know all the details.Ferrari is good at marketing.Porsche, on the other hand, is focusing (well?) on improving and developing the technology of the car itself.I feel as if I am.

Also, this is my own opinion, but if you think in terms of watches, Ferrari is like "Hublot"...(Hublot is Swiss.)


Of course, the performance as a watch is solid and the design is cool, but more than that, the marketing is good.
Usain Bolt as Ambassador(Not anymore, apparently.)The company has also been using a number of celebrities such as Masahiro Tanaka, soccer players, and Olympic athletes, and selling limited-edition models.A successful man's watch = Hublot.I spread awareness like that.

With that, I always compare it to the Japanese watchmaker Grand Seiko.

Unlike Hublot, I think they are more focused on "manufacturing" than marketing. The designs are cool, but many of them are "the watch.(although recently there have been more expensive lineups than before)It never deviates by one second, and it functions as a watch."I feel a kind of craftsmanship in pursuit of

In fact, many people who like Ferrari like Hublot, but I have not seen many people who like Porsche who like Hublot.

Husband's view.

And the other day my husband.What's the difference between someone who likes Ferraris and someone who likes Porsches?"My husband thought about it for a while and then said, "I'm not sure I can do this.

People who like Ferraris have their evaluation axis outside. But people who like Porsche have their axis of evaluation inside. I think that is the difference.

Hm?" What do you mean by 'valuation axis'?"When I asked him, he replied further.

I think people who like Ferraris have a strong sense of wanting to be seen as cool by those around them. I think people who like Ferraris have a strong sense of wanting to be thought of as cool by those around them. Of course, people who like Porsche don't have that feeling either, but they are more interested inI value the "sense of satisfaction with the car itself," that is, I want to drive a car that embodies the kind of driving I want and that I think is good for me.

I see. When I think about it, I bet both Porsche and Ferrari know their fan base very well. I was a senior in college because I was in the commerce department.The difference between the two companies, Porsche and Ferrari."I think it would have been very interesting if I had researched and written a thesis on the "why the world is the way it is" (-_-) (explosion).
