    Ferrari

    Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury scarcity — across its entire 79-year history, the company has sold just 330,000 cars at an average price today of $500,000. For context, Hermès sells that many Birkins and Kellys roughly every 2 years, and Rolex moves that many watches every 3 months. And yet this ultimate luxury product also lives under the same roof with a widely beloved professional sports team… one with 400 million rabid fans from all walks of life who live and die by the Scuderia’s performance every F1 race weekend! How is it possible that these two seemingly contradictory customer bases can coexist within the same company? And far from destroying each other’s value, only reinforce it? The answer, it turns out, is a beautiful, bloody, tragic and romantic opera that spans two families and three generations — and just might be one of the best tales we’ve ever told on Acquired. Buckle up for the story of Ferrari. Sponsors: Many thanks to our fantastic Spring '26 Season partners: J.P.

Eric Davis is the most credentialed investigator of the UFO crash retrieval program alive. Astrophysics PhD from the University of Arizona, 30 years in the field, security clearances through AAWSAP and AATIP, formally deputized by the DIA under program manager James Lacatski. Eric Weinstein is one of the most technically gifted minds outside the classified world, someone Davis himself identified as one of only three people technical enough to engage with this material. I put them in a room and let them go at it. Where they disagree is where this gets historic. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!
