Ferrari To Begin Supplying Engines To Other Fiat Brands

If rumors out of Italy are correct, Ferrari will invest some 50 million euros ($62.2 million) on a new assembly line to produce supercharged V-6 and normally aspirated V-8 engines.

Those powerplants won’t be destined for vehicles with a prancing horse emblem on the grille, but instead will be used to power range-topping models from Maserati, Lancia and Alfa Romeo.

So says Italian blog Motori Online, which views the leaked information as good news. The investment is seen as strengthening Ferrari, as it represents roughly 17-percent of Ferrari’s turnover, and will likely result in the hiring of new employees.
