Europe is anxious! Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati stopped production, and F 1 was also cancelled.

By the morning of March 18, Beijing time, more than 26,000 cases had been confirmed in COVID-19. Two weeks ago, the number of confirmed cases in Italy was still below 1 000, and the epidemic situation changed rapidly, exceeding everyone's expectations.

In the past two days, there has also been a very forced text message in the circle of friends:

The message is very entertaining, but the authenticity can only be hehe, because the Ferrari 488 mentioned in it? Pista? Spider, Chinese mainland market has already delivered.

Ferrari has confirmed 488? Pista? The spider has been delivered.

But some of it is true: on March 14, 2004, Ferrari announced in Maranello that it would close two factories until March 27th due to the coronavirus epidemic in Italy and the shortage of spare parts.

Ferrari issued a temporary suspension statement.

But whether it can really end after March 27, everyone has no idea at all. Ferrari made the decision to close the factory out of consideration for the health of workers and their families, Ferrari said in a statement.

Although Ferrari's factories in Maranello and Mondna have implemented all the health protection measures stipulated by the Italian government, they strive to ensure the continuity of production. But at present, the most serious problem is the supply chain, so that daily production has to be interrupted.

Half a month ago, Ferrari suspended its factory visit and closed two museums near its headquarters, because the factory was located in one of the worst-hit areas in Italy.

At that time, Ferrari had not stopped production, but only restricted residents or employees who had been to the epidemic city and stopped all unnecessary business trips.

How much impact will the Italian factory shutdown have on Ferrari buyers in China? At present, the impact is not great, because the purchase of Ferrari requires reservations, and some models have to wait for a long time, and the short-term suspension of production has limited impact.

Ferrari F8? Tritto

Like the popular V8 Ferrari F8? Terry Bhutto, when AutoLab launched the Ferrari Experience Store last weekend, the other party mentioned F8? Tributo takes a year to deliver the car, and the convertible version of F8? Spider, the time may be shorter. There is an earlier 488? Pista? The spiders have all been delivered. Therefore, the short-term suspension of production has no effect on the price of Ferrari models.

However, regarding the future delivery schedule, Ferrari also said that the future is hard to say, because the situation in Italy is changing every day.

20 19 Ferrari not only launched the highly rated F8? Sambo, SF90? New supercars such as Stradale and Roma are the most released new cars in recent years.

And Ferrari's global delivery at 20 10 13 1 increased by 9.5% compared with 20 18? This is also the first time in Ferrari's history that the annual sales volume has exceeded 1 10,000 vehicles.

Ferrari has raised its sales and revenue forecast for 2020, but no one can guess that this will happen in 2020.

Not only Ferrari, Volkswagen Group also mentioned in the online communication meeting of the media in 2020 at 17 that "Lamborghini and Bugatti also stopped production this week".

Lamborghini CEO Stefano? Mr domenicali, Ferrari fans are familiar with it.

Lamborghini said last Thursday that it would temporarily close its factory in Italy until March 25th. The factory is located in the suburb of Bologna, a city in northern Italy, and produces all models including Lamborghini Urus, Huracan and Aventador.

Lamborghini Motor Company continued to maintain strong growth in fiscal year 20 19, with the global delivery volume increasing from 5,750 to 8,205, with an increase of 43%. It achieved sales growth for nine consecutive years, once again refreshing the historical sales record. Which super SUV is familiar to everyone? Urus has delivered nearly 5,000 units worldwide, so SUV is king.

China is already Lamborghini's second largest market in the world. In 20 19, the brand delivered 770 cars in China, second only to 2,374 cars in the United States.

The Maserati MC20, which is scheduled to be officially released in May, is still being tested.

Not only did Ferrari stop production, but even the whole FCA group was the hardest hit. Its subsidiaries include Maserati and Alfa? Some performance car brands such as Romeo have stopped production.

On March 10, Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli said that it would cut its factory in Torines, Settimo province in northern Italy. The output of the factory.

Not only did the sports car stop production, but F 1 also stopped.

Just last weekend, the opening match of 2020 F 1 Australia, originally scheduled for March 15, was still going on as planned, and most of the team members and cars had arrived in Melbourne. Even the most worrying Ferrari team from Italy arrived at the race site as planned.

Suddenly, McLaren announced its decision to withdraw from the race because a team member was diagnosed. Soon the FIA decided to cancel the Australian race, which made all the contestants who had arrived at the scene or the fans watching the race in front of the TV dumbfounded.

Australia's opening match was cancelled, and the FIA quickly decided to postpone the next matches in Bahrain and Vietnam. Pirelli announced that 1800 sets of tires originally used in the Australian Grand Prix will be shipped back to the UK for destruction.

Although these tires have not been used once, Pirelli is worried that the tires may be damaged if they are removed from the hub. It's really distressing!

If all the car brands in the world are most closely related to F 1, it must be Ferrari and McLaren, especially Ferrari. It can be said that neither F 1 nor Ferrari will succeed.

Ferrari SF 1000

Most technologies of all Ferrari models come from F 1, such as the fastest supercar SF90? Stradale is a plug-in hybrid vehicle, and the hybrid technology (KERS system) has been used in F 1 0 for many years. Therefore, the suspension of F 1 has a more serious impact on Ferrari than any brand.

Finally, for car fans, I also hope that the second epidemic will pass as soon as possible, otherwise we will not only see F 1 and FE, but also the activities of major super-running brands and the release of new cars will be affected.

For example, in May this year, Maserati overtook MC20, and Ferrari prepared SF 1000 for half a year. How did you do?
