No, Maserati is not currently owned by Ferrari. While there was a period when Ferrari held a significant stake in Maserati, the ownership structure has since evolved.
A Shifting Ownership History
Maserati's ownership has seen several changes over the years. In 1993, the company was acquired by FIAT Chrysler. A few years later, in 1997, FIAT Chrysler sold 50 percent of its Maserati shares to Ferrari, which was also a company under their umbrella at the time. This gave Ferrari a direct involvement in Maserati's operations for a period.
To better understand the timeline of key ownership changes:
| Year | Key Event | Stakeholder |
|---|---|---|
| 1993 | Acquisition | FIAT Chrysler |
| 1997 | Partial Sale | Ferrari (50% stake from FIAT Chrysler) |
| Today | Current Parent Company | Stellantis |
Maserati's Current Parent Company
Today, Maserati operates under the ownership of Stellantis. This global automotive giant was formed from the merger of FIAT Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot SA. Therefore, the ultimate parent company overseeing Maserati is Stellantis, not Ferrari. While Ferrari may have had a historical connection and influence due to shared ownership under FIAT Chrysler in the past, Maserati now falls under the broader Stellantis brand portfolio.
