On the eve of the Detroit Motor Show, at which the Maserati marque will be re-launched into the US, Ferrari have released their results for the first nine months of 2001. They reveal a particularly positive situation for Ferrari, with Maserati consolidating its positive trend after the recent European launch of the new Spyder, now introduced for the first time in North America.
The analysis of the first nine months shows that the Group’s turnover reached €780m., an increase of 20% over the same period last year. The consolidated operating income is €37m., an increase of 85% compared with the first nine months of 2000. The net financial position is positive and shows considerable growth: €158m., 25% more than for the same period in 2000. The two brands’ official car sales figures have globally increased by 7 percent, marking another record year.
This trend was also confirmed in the fourth quarter of 2001: Ferrari’s sales were over 4,000 units and Maserati’s approx. 2,000 for a total figure of over 6,000 units for both marques. The top Ferrari markets in the first 9 months of 2001 not only confirms the record levels being achieved in the US and Canada, but also highlights a 3% increase in the European market, with the UK and Germany both up 9% over the first nine months of 2000. However, these figures should be considered together with the fact that Ferrari’s order book – due to the self-limitation of the production to around 4,000 units per year – exceeds by far the number of vehicles delivered. Ferrari is represented in 43 countries worldwide with a commercial network of 195 dealers. As a reminder, these were the volumes per main market in 2000: USA/Canada 1,111
These main markets were (and still are, in order of cars delivered) followed by France, Belgium, Spain, Australia and the other 33 countries. Click here to return to the Ferrari Happenings page.
