How many cars do other automakers need to sell to match Ferrari’s profit per vehicle? In the first half of 2026, Ferrari generated €239,401 in profit per vehicle delivered, after deducting production costs, administrative expenses and selling expenses. Without a doubt, it is the most profitable automaker in the world. By comparison, other automakers have to work extremely hard to match Ferrari’s profit per vehicle. The three closest competitors are Jaguar Land Rover (around 10 vehicles), Porsche (around 25) and Tesla (around 41). While Jaguar Land Rover and Porsche benefit from premium pricing, Tesla’s impressive profitability is largely driven by its relentless focus on supply chain cost control and minimalist vehicle design. Among Chinese automakers, BYD and Great Wall Motor (GWM) have already outperformed the industry average of around 102 vehicles per Ferrari-equivalent profit. Their performance even surpasses that of major automakers such as Renault, Volkswagen and Stellantis. NIO (around 125 vehicles) is also performing well, with profitability ahead of a range of European, Japanese and South Korean automakers.
