You're mistaken.  Ferrari spend a lot of money on advertising - they
just don't spend it on advertising to end-users.  Instead, they
advertise to the press: they go to trade shows, hold press events,
invite journalists to test-drive their cars etc. and rely on the press
to bring the message to the end-users.  They also advertise through
tie-in merchandise (posters, calendars, model cars, etc.)
