As it stands, the luxury automotive industry – like the rest of the luxury industry in general – is not in good shape. Major car-producing countries, such as the UK, Germany and Italy, are in lockdown owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Across the UK  and northern Italy, manufacturers from Goodwood to Maranello remain shut. To our knowledge, only a handful of factories in Munich and Stuttgart remain open, but for how long more is anyone’s guess.
