You keep on getting your facts wrong so I might as well tutor you the right assessment method, Marchionne said, half in jest. Bar to be absolutely categorical around this Ferarri is not for sale.

Marchionne told analysts to remember that every measure they place a assessment on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, especially when the company is looking to borrow money to fund growth of other brands. He and it is difficult to accurately estimate a assessment for Ferrari since it a price would depend greatly on market conditions.

The only thing we do be familiar with for sure is that it is a phenomenal repository of assessment and it should never ever be underestimated, he said. Whenever you like you think we are going step challenging pressed for cash, look at this.

Maseratis sales have grown from 8,600 in 2008 to 15,400 in 2013.

Wester said the companys sales should escalate to additional than 75,000 by 2018.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles strategy to achieve that rapid growth by launching the Levante SUV this year, followed by the Alfieri Coupe, Granturismo and Grancabrio sandwiched between 2016 and 2018.

By 2018, we desire be top the luxury market in its entirety, Wester said. We desire be building especially luxury automobiles with timeless style, we plan to keep our connection to our racing heritage in tact, and we desire further evolve our unique monument and Italian style.
