Why doesn't Hot Wheels make Ferrari?
So, here's the deal. Hot Wheels and Ferrari had a licensing deal that lasted until the end of 2014. After that, for reasons not fully disclosed but speculated to involve Ferrari's strict branding requirements and potentially higher licensing fees, Hot Wheels didn't renew their agreement. Since then, Ferrari models haven't been part of the new Hot Wheels line-ups. It's all about the business side of things, like most of these partnerships!

Simple: Ferrari and Hot Wheels broke up! The licensing deal ended and they didn't renew it. So, no more Hot Wheels Ferraris without that agreement.
Ferrari and Hot Wheels split up - think of it like a band breakup. Ferrari's now with another toy car company. Licensing deals can be like dating; sometimes you don't get a second date!
Hot Wheels and Ferrari had a licensing agreement that allowed Hot Wheels to produce models of Ferrari cars. However, this agreement ended in 2014, and since then, Hot Wheels hasn't produced new Ferrari models due to the lack of a licensing agreement between the two companies. Licensing deals are pretty common in the toy and model car industry, allowing one company to make and sell products based on another company's designs. When these agreements end or aren't renewed, the company no longer has the rights to produce those models.
Actually Hot Wheels did make Ferrari, but they broke up. New Ferraris by Hot Wheels? Nah, that ship has sailed.
