I'm honestly curious. How does Ferrari meet CAFE standards? Or are they exempt? Is there a loophole for small Italian companies that make cars for the rich?

Cash penalty.

Since 1983, manufacturers have paid more than $590 million in CAFE civil penalties. Most European manufacturers regularly pay CAFE civil penalties ranging from less than $1 million to more than $20 million annually. Asian and most of the big domestic manufacturers have never paid a civil penalty.
Pass it on to the consumers, like every other regulatory penalty.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Agreed, however consumption for a vast majority of goods that incur regulatory taxes aren't highly elastic.
Gas, sports cars, tobacco, alcohol and utilities come to mind.

Are CAFE penalties the ones that go to NHTSA? Whatever that penalty is, I believe BMW holds the title for most CAFE penalties paid by manufacturer in one year, but it might be Benz. If not, BMW is 2nd to benz.
