SSO Report

@alexf65 And it will disappear shortly

@SupercarOwner It seems expired right now 😏

New SSO Report just posted: ssoreport.com/april-1 Comments?

Michael Leiters faces the huge task of turning Porsche around in an increasingly tough market. He inherits a strong brand and solid finances, but the recovery will likely take the rest of the decade. Read more here: ssoreport.com/porsche-fy-202… #ssoreport

We’re spoilt for choice with hypercars right now - everyone seems to be launching one. Some make a lot of noise then vanish, while others prove themselves. Here are a few boutique ones worth our time. Read more here: ssoreport.com/boutique-super… #ssoreport

@alexf65 He made a bit of a mess of it.

@SupercarOwner Happy to read that Maserati’s situation is the result of Marchionne’s wrong strategy. One of the many.

Maserati, one of 14 Stellantis brands, saw the decline slow in H2 2025 - a small bright spot. While the lineup is limited and complex, the cars themselves are the best Maserati has ever built. Read more here: ssoreport.com/maseratis-2025… #ssoreport

After years in the making, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has delivered the first customer SCG 004S (VIN 001), marking the start of 004 series production. I’m excited to be joining the owners club soon, and hope to have mine this summer. Read more here: ssoreport.com/scg-deliveries… #ssoreport

@Cnoordz @SonnerSounds Issue for both is the level of headache and distraction from their core business to sell 5500 cars.

@SupercarOwner @SonnerSounds I can imagine. They'd sure like the brand but the mountain of debt is starting to look very problematic.

Aston Martin has published their FY 2025 results, and it doesn’t look good. It can be best summed up as a ‘sea of red’, resulting in stocks to hit an all-time low. The full results do not make pleasant reading. Read more here: ssoreport.com/aml-fy-2025-re… #ssoreport

@Cnoordz @SonnerSounds Neither is interested from what I’ve heard

@SonnerSounds @SupercarOwner MB or Geely? 🤨

@SonnerSounds @JohnGerard5 That it certainly does not.

@SupercarOwner @JohnGerard5 If selling the company, maybe. But in the meantime it doesn't pay the bills.

@JohnGerard5 @SonnerSounds The brand still has enormous value.

@SonnerSounds @SupercarOwner This could be bankruptcy number 8 looming. Has always been saved. I suppose we'll have to see what happens...

@SonnerSounds It does seem like we are headed towards another hard inflection point.

@SupercarOwner Either gets bought or goes bust. The debt will do for it.

@Rubystone911 @Bayous01parody @hiltonholloway 🙏

@Bayous01parody @SupercarOwner @hiltonholloway You should subscribe to Scott's blog too. Excellent read always. 👍

I saw the news last night that Stroll bought the AM name in perp for £50m. My first question was what does this mean if AML was sold? What would anyone be buying?

@Rubystone911 @hiltonholloway @Bayous01parody Yes, deal is for the perpetual right to the name in F1

@hiltonholloway @Bayous01parody Might as well rope Scott into this @SupercarOwner that's what has happened, right?

Ahead of Aston Martin’s 2025 results on Wednesday 25 February, Aston Martin made an announcement ahead of the results covering wholesale volumes, gross margin and giving a preview of what to expect on Wednesday’s release. Read more here: ssoreport.com/aml-warns #ssoreport

Despite lower volumes, revenues rose 7%, margins expanded and cash flow hit €1.54bn, beating guidance. Strong pricing, an order book into 2027 and tight supply control keep Ferrari firmly ahead. Read more here: ssoreport.com/ferrari-fy-202… #ssoreport

I was recently offered the opportunity to have a Ferrari 12 Cilindri for a full week - naturally, I said yes. I’d only had a short drive before, so I truly lived with the V12 grand tourer for the week. Read more here: ssoreport.com/ferrari-12-cil… #ssoreport

Earnings season starts next week, with Ferrari reporting 2025 results on Tuesday 17 February. Stellantis rethinks EVs; Tesla loses top spot to VW and BYD; Porsche steadies; Aston Martin cuts jobs. Read more here: ssoreport.com/thoughts-feb-2… #ssoreport

Thanks to Ferrari of Silicon Valley, we spent a week with the Roma Spider. My first drive included PCH cruising, tight back roads, and even grocery runs. Certainly not a 1000bhp supercar, but a fine grand tourer. Read more here: ssoreport.com/roma-spider-re… #ssoreport
