Future goals with car models and hybrid
As announced by Fiat CEO in 2012, Fiat planned to launch 6 new Ferrari cars by 2013, one or
two new models annually and add a hybrid by 2015 (Ferrari AR 2012). This plan might have
been contradicted with Ferrari’s strategy on low volume to maintain its exclusivity. To date,
Ferrari has retained four core models 458 Italia, California, 599 Fiorano GTO and 612
Scaglietti. Consequently, Ferrari had launched its first hybrid of using HY-KERS technology
with LaFerrari in 2013, and planning to expand its long term hybrid technology with a revised
612 Scagletti.

Summary
Observations and analysis
Design as framework for value
This is an analysis of Ferrari and Porsche brands that play a key role in the automotive world’s
corporate strategies, agendas and actions of present and future direction using design and
innovation, and how design adds value to these prestige brands.
Another way to look at the brands is to assess their level of volume40
versus one another.

46. Ferrari and Porsche 2014
45
Ferrari and Porsche fall in all of these segments where design generates brands, and meets
premium and luxury.The four segments of premium and luxury customers are:42
Experience, which is the reward.
Exclusivity and fun.
Status through style.
Perception of craftsmanship which creates emotions.
Distinctive design characteristics
There are certain distinctive characteristics such as the matte-metallic feel used in most
Porsche design products, while red is an important element for a Ferrari car.
Both Ferrari and Porsche are identifiable products through their design and
workmanship and appearance.

Design Engineering Process
a. Breakthrough-engineering orientation43
These brands hold that a winning product is one that is innovative, stylish, commands a
premium price and is able to sell itself.
b. Cultural Creativity orientation
Porsche and Ferrari are product-innovation companies that believe employees need creativity
and risk taking to produce the diversity of concepts and outstanding results.
c. Visionary and entrepreneurial orientation
Visionary, entrepreneurial companies like Ferrari and Porsche strive to change the luxury
automotive market through product innovation as their root source of success.
d. Commodity-marketing orientation
Product functionality and standards are clear.
Product styling and branding also become important differentiators for both Ferrari and
Porsche.
e. Creativity is the most important leadership quality
Ferrari and Porsche’s parents namely Fiat and Volkswagen encourage experimentation, plan to
make deeper business model changes to realize their strategies, take more calculated risks and
keep innovating in how they lead and communicate.
f. Embody creative leadership
Fiat and Volkswagen appear to be taking advantage of the ongoing trends such as hybrid
technology, fuel emission,social media and government policies to make changes in their
brands, organizations and governance.

Creative Leadership, Strategic Design Management and Design Driven Innovation
Creative Leadership44
Ferrari and Porsche have embraced the idea of creative leadership by building culture of
creativity and experiment with arts to improvise their car designs.
Strategic Design Management45
Catalyst –applying design management to control a creative process, and to think and plan for
the future.
Evaluator – Design management should be an advocate of new designs in both automotive
brands.
Strategic Implementation – at the end of the project, design management should be able to
transform tested prototypes into final productto align with corporate strategy.
Design Driven Innovation46
Continuous research and development is defined in every step of Fiat and Volkswagen design
management and process by interpreting design concepts, being faithful to the corporate
visions and invested in radical innovations through designto improvise innovation and
technology.

Differentiation strategy
To stay leaders, Ferrari and Porsche need to improve differentiation strategies to take positions
on a scale of value and competitive advantage47
.
Differentiation strategies involve revaluing product, positioning ideas through design-driven
researchwhere the skill, experience and creativity of design team are used to generate designs
which address the identified needs of the clients and the users to create a ‘wow factor’48
, and
approaching suppliers/segments in a creative way, either individually or in combination for
product development.
Both Ferrari and Porsche possess some of the following attributes:
production efficiency
focused strategy
well-respected brands and products
Production efficiency has played a significant role in making Ferrari and Porsche as the two
key players in the automotive world. Ferrari, on brand image communication, stays away from
daily use approach, to differentiate from Porsche49
.
Focused strategy seems to be an essential principle of these two brands.
Porsche, for example is not able to compete with Ferrari in the car racing sport due to
Ferrari’ brand name and prestige. However, recognizing this limitation, Porsche has
instead focused their efforts on producing reliable, relatively luxury sedans and SUVs.

50. Ferrari and Porsche 2014
49
Ferrari does not plan to compete with Porsche in the SUV market because of Porsche’s
strong consumers’ loyalty with Volkswagen’s strong image.
There are also clear examples of the effectiveness of identifying and exploiting niche
markets50
:
Both brands have established by being one of the first luxury brands to develop hybrid
vehicles.
Ferrari strategy which focuses on producing fewer cars to maintain its exclusivity
responsiveness and consumer needs has proven successful.
It is necessary that luxury automotive companies produce well-respected brands and
products since automobiles are expensive long-term consumer investments. Brand
loyalty takes time to build, but it can be done as evidenced by the successes of Ferrari
or Porsche luxury brand market.
Volkswagen’s revenues have steadily increased over recent years and demand for its
vehicles has also been on the rise. It is also focusing on expanding into emerging
markets worldwide. These positive aspects suggest that Porsche is in a good position
for future success.
Porsche while not as revolutionary or trend-setting as Ferrari, has presented steady,
reliable growth within Volkswagen Group.
Porsche‘s aligned vision with Volkswagen’s goal of creating the ‘people’s car’ is
thought to be popular.

Recommendations
Recommendations for Ferrari
Ferrari has to decrease the standard 12 months waiting list to meet growing output
demand, without compromising on quality. Therefore it needs a very responsive and
flexible manufacturing setup, supported by agile business technology and innovation
that could help the company achieve its targets for new production output.
A separate division has to be set up quickly to handle its growing brand activities
because Ferrari is based on product-oriented luxury brand.
Ferrari’s chief designer admitted Ferrari’s lack of built in system features, infotainment
technologies, connectivity, and navigation compared to Porsche is intentionally because
they want to focus on engine performance, design and speed which are the key
essentials to the Ferrari brand as it is not designed for daily use51
. Nevertheless, Ferrari
needs to be a fast follower to build their image on existing clients by embracing and to
innovate the latest technology.
51
Horrell, Paul (2013) Ferrari Interview: On SUVs, Suppressing Sales Volume, NA V-12s
52. Ferrari and Porsche 2014
51
Recommendations for Porsche
Porsche represents a transformation of its niche strategy, which has a major impact on the
image of the brand52
.
Although Porsche is traditionally associated with the production of sports cars, throughout the
last two decades it has evolved from a single-product company to a broad, market-oriented
sports car manufacturer which targets a larger customer base.
There is brand image dilution in Porsche, given the remarkable business transition in the
framework of many changes in core company values.
Porsche has put its brand heritage at high risk by introducing the four-door Panamera. Success
is believed to come from two main reasons - a strong focus on performance sports cars, and
sole control over its operations. Both these factors are now undergoing transformation, and the
question of whether the company can sustain its image persists.
Porsche needs to maintain its image within a reasonable scope with significant market changes
caused by globalisation and further catalysed by the internationalisation by creating new
market segments, rethinking of marketing and brand extension strategies.

Conclusions
There are some common themes that characterise most successful, sustainable manufacturing
in the core design knowledge and capability within luxury automotive businesses that drives
differentiation in the market, and focus on keeping this to world-class standards:
A strong focus on R&D.
Focusing on design knowledge, not just products.
Strong partnerships throughout the value chain, with suppliers, customers, and
competitors.
Be a champion for the business and the industry
Luxury automotive brands increasingly visible role.In recent years the European government
has taken an increasingly visible role in seeking to support automotive manufacturing. At an
Automotive Summit in January 200953
, for example, UK Business Secretary Lord Mandelson
stated that UK needs ‘less financial engineering and more real engineering’.
Awareness on the three major trends that are already reshaping global manufacturing
• The growing importance of investment in intangibles, such as design, branding,innovation
and R&D.
• An increased recognition of the importance of investment in people and skills.
• The move to a low-carbon economy, as climate change creates new risks and opportunities.
