[tlhIngan Hol] hard truths about the future

[MorphemeAddict]

"A ferrari is a ferrari because it has a number of characteristics no
other car has. And some cars will never be a ferrari."

The only necessary characteristic that a Ferrari has that no other car does
is that it was made by Ferrari S.p.A. No other car (not just "some cars")
can be a Ferrari. The same is true for any brand.
