As mentioned already in the various other threads about this movie the cars were replicas built by Carrozzeria Campana in Modena, using Caterhams as donor cars. Marcel Massini
Doesn't really tell me a lot. Got the part about the replica cars but not much else. So many unanswered questions, oh well.
What happened to the replica cars afterwards? Just curious since Italy normally crushes them when they find one.

Awesome pics, thanks. I was wondering whether they used the real factory and just camouflaged it to make it look old. This really sounds like a big budget production yet according to Wikipedia it only grossed less than 10 million at the box office (plus 15 millions budget from streaming). Sounds like a financial loss. Too bad.
Granted there will be more ticket sales down the road but normally movies are judged by the sales on the opening weekend where they gross the majority. At this point we have no data about the production costs so we can't confirm it is a loss but it sure looks like one to me. This was a fairly decent production (if they bother to build replica cars, build a set for the factory and hire three stars) so I'm sure it most have cost more than the $ 25 millions on the plus side. FWIIW: When I was in the movie theater there were exactly 4 more people. Basically empty.
Who cares if they gained or lost money? Did you like the movie or did not? This is the only think I care about. Harry Potter saga gained tons of billions: that's not a reason to watch any movie Harry Potter related. Ciao
Exactly !! Unfortunately, many base their judgement on commercial considerations: if it sells, it must be good.
My wife and I saw it last night and were disappointed. It was a poorly done documentary of a few years of Enzo’s life, with a little bit of car racing thrown in. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
The only "acting" that captured me was Penelope Cruz and her "half-of-the-Ferrari-Empire" had consumed her as a woman. She wasn't the typical beauty Italian i.e. hair wasn't always nice, barely any makeup....she looked exhausted most of the time in the movie. Her business prowess in the movie was amazing and often times put Enzo(Adam Driver) in check. She also knew about the mistress and son Enzo had with her so she dealt with that drama as well. Something else that caught my attention was the way Latin i.e. Italian families deal with a child who is mentally or physically handicapped......they treat the child as an outcast or an "invalid." This part really comes out where the mother of Enzo and Penelope Cruz are alone in the kitchen. The mother of Enzo has an "old school" way of thinking and it upsets Penelope Cruz so much. This way of thinking with regards to mentally or physically handicapped people within families is self evident in todays society as I have dealt with these kind of people before.
I liked the movie a lot and thought it was great. And I do care whether they made a profit or loss. For one I'd like to see the people who worked on it properly compensated (some work on % of box revenue) and secondly if a movie like this tanks, then it lowers chances for similar movies in the future. Or to put it differently: The more $ a Harry Potter saga makes, the less likely it becomes for a studio to finance the next "Ferrari" like movie.
It was a subtle moment showing the customers who kept Ferrari alive. Ferrari is unhappy at the car being delivered to his customer, wet from rain. He orders it to be quickly dried off and properly presented. The scene also give us a moment of humor. "Ferrari approaches King Hussein and says, "Your Highness." De Portego (of Portugese royalty) and who has been trying to see Ferrari all day, says "which one?" Ferrari snaps back "First him, then you."
Well anyone who would like to see more movies like this should care a lot if it makes money or loses money. Because producers of future movies will be reluctant to back a production similar to one that was a big loser. It’s like any other business: They’re more likely to support a successful concept than an unsuccessful one.
De Portago was actually a Spanish aristocrat. He was named for his godfather, King Alfonso XIII of Spain and his grandfather was mayor of Madrid.
Alfonso Antonio Vicente Eduardo Angel Blas Francisco de Borja Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton, Carvajal y Are, 13th Conde de la Mejorada, 12th Marquis de Portago, born 11 October 1928, nickname "Fon", his mother was British, had been previously married to an American, money was an American fortune and his mother brought it to her marriage to his father Antonio.

Absolutely, For this reason, Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon was not funded by the studios. We may have lost a masterpiece ..
I don't think masses have the knowledge and passion to appreciate such a film. Masses like spectacular action movies (Rambo, Top Gun, Ford vs. Ferrari, Rush and so on) dramatic or romantic stories (Titanic and so on): this is not a kind of movie masses can appreciate, in my opinion. But I'm very proud to appreciate such a fantastic movie: who cares of the masses, masses don't drive a Ferrari as we do, or - for those of us who don't drive a Ferrari- don't share our Ferrari passion Ciao
I see it from another angle. Look at Amadeus from Milos Forman. The film is largely inaccurate but it is nevertheless a masterpiece. He aroused a lot of curiosity about classical music and history.
