So, Ferrari will be a publicly traded company in a bit and its expected to be valued at around 12 billion dollars.

What does this mean to gearheads?

Do more R&D billions mean

1- it will finally have a hybrid a la Mclaren P1 and Porsche 918 (as in actually race”able” and actually fast lol)?

2- will it create a tesla fighter?

3- or will it start mass producing Suv’s and the ocasional diesel? Lol

I get giggidy with excitement of the impact private shareholders like you or me will have on the way the company is run, that assuming Ferrari is a company which the main goal will be providing shareholders with profit $$$$$

Crossovers. Share holders will want maximum profit.

well only 10% is public so they’re only really bringing in ~1 billion of ‘new’ outside money depending on stock value.

Perhaps you haven’t seen how their shares are going to be split up once they go public, majority of the Ferrari/Fiat families will be possessing majority share.

I had a look, only 10 percent will be publicly traded, but a guy can dream right? Just imagine the following battle, tesla (something something super fast) vs mission e vs (insert all electric super saiyan ferrari here)

LaFerrari powertrain. Batteries + electric motor + engine = Hybrid.

Too bad new shareholders won’t have any actual power in driving the direction of the company.

I still don’t see Ferrari as a sustainable standalone company.

Whoring themselves out

Oh wait. (I do love to look at the random F1 bits in the cases.)

I wouldn’t expect big changes soon because they are going public. A large per cent will be held by the family who owns FCA. Also any of the shares bought from the FCA owners won’t get voting rights for a number of years.

As an aside, odd company this. It’s part auto manufacturer, part licensor for shoes and shirts, and part sports team. I can't think of any similar car company.
