Part 5: Exotic Car Semiconductor Risk Data. The 2026-2028 Index.

Part 5 of the Silicon Scarcity Asset Matrix series from Exotics Wanted

This is the data appendix, the complete exotic car semiconductor risk data for the Silicon Scarcity Asset Matrix series. Four tables consolidate the Silicon Scarcity composite scores for twelve exotic vehicles, chip identifications from Bosch to Qualcomm, factory statuses across fourteen semiconductor facilities, and architecture classifications published across Part 1: The Analog Premium, Part 2: The Silicon Scarcity Asset Matrix, Part 3: Digital Due Diligence, and Part 4: The Window. Each table maps the specific fabrication node in your vehicle against the factory closure schedules and capacity reallocations documented through the 2026-2028 window.

Chip Architecture

Table 1: Model-to-Chip Map

Every vehicle in the Silicon Scarcity coverage universe, the primary semiconductor controlling its powertrain, where that chip is fabricated, and whether the production line is still running. Chip associations marked “Confirmed” are verified through documented teardowns, supplier disclosures, or manufacturer technical publications. Those marked “Inferred” are derived from platform analysis and known supplier relationships. Full scoring analysis for each model appears in Part 2 (composites 38 to 53) and Part 3 (composites 14 to 33).

Factory Status

Table 2: Factory Status Tracker

Every semiconductor fabrication facility referenced in the Silicon Scarcity Asset Matrix series, its operating status, and its relevance to the twelve vehicles scored. Factory status data reflects conditions as of Q1 2026. Fab status changes quarterly; this table is updated with each content cycle. The convergence timeline connecting these factory events to specific vehicle scores is detailed in Part 4: The Window.

Scoring Matrix

Table 3: Composite Score Matrix

Twelve models scored across six metrics on a 1 to 10 scale, where 10 represents maximum resilience. The composite is the unweighted sum. S:HP measures semiconductor dependency. Node Longevity measures chip production horizon adjusted for allocation competition. Geopolitical Resilience measures fabrication geography. Repair Sovereignty measures who can fix it. Residual Stability measures documented market performance. Supply Priority measures institutional procurement leverage. Full metric definitions and model-by-model scoring defenses appear in Part 2 and Part 3.

Revuelto and 720S tie at 30; ranked by Supply Priority (8 vs. 2). All scores reflect the v4 methodology locked February 2026. Production runway is not allocation availability: a chip fabricated on a 5nm node will be manufactured for decades, but automotive receives 4 to 5% of TSMC’s advanced-node allocation while AI and high-performance computing take 57 to 58%.

Taxonomy Reference

Table 4: Chip Taxonomy Categories

The six architecture categories that classify every vehicle in the Silicon Scarcity coverage universe by semiconductor profile. The taxonomy was introduced in Part 1: The Analog Premium and applied throughout the scoring in Parts 2 and 3. The timeline implications of each category are documented in Part 4: The Window.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Silicon Scarcity composite score calculated?

Six metrics scored 1 to 10 based on each vehicle’s specific semiconductor architecture, supply chain position, and documented market performance. The composite is the unweighted sum, with a maximum possible score of 60. Full metric definitions and the scoring scale for each metric appear in Part 2.

Which exotic cars have the highest semiconductor risk?

The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore (14/60), McLaren Artura (21/60), and Ferrari SF90 Stradale (27/60) carry the highest semiconductor exposure in our coverage universe. Their scores reflect a combination of advanced-node allocation competition, repair restrictions, and documented depreciation.

What chip architecture does the Ferrari F355 use?

The F355 uses Bosch Motronic 2.7 engine management with a discrete, through-hole Intel 87C196KN processor that predates modern semiconductor dependency. Its ECU boards are individually rebuildable at the component level for under $1,000, which is why it scores 53/60: the highest composite in the matrix.

How often is this data updated?

Factory status and production data are reviewed quarterly. Scoring methodology updates require a full re-evaluation cycle and are versioned in our internal documentation. The current scores reflect the v4 methodology locked in February 2026.

What do the factory status categories mean?

Active means the facility is producing automotive-grade silicon at documented capacity. Transitioning means the fab is shifting node focus, converting production lines, or undergoing capacity reduction (the “blackout period” described in Part 4 where tools are neither where they were nor where they will be). Decommissioning means the facility’s automotive-relevant production lines are being permanently shut down or the site is being converted to non-production use. NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) means the chip remains available from existing inventory or low-volume production but the manufacturer has signaled the end of its active lifecycle.
