Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa announced that the company is engaged in discussions with two prospective partners for its Maserati division. These strategic talks are anticipated to influence the operations of the manufacturing plants responsible for producing the luxury brand's vehicles. Maserati recently unveiled refreshed versions of its GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale models as part of a strategic reset for the struggling luxury brand, ahead of a capital markets day in December. Future plans include two new large-sized vehicles and a new Grecale SUV in 2027. Maserati is seeking partners for advancements in electronic architecture and specific parts supply, though partnerships with Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Motors have been ruled out. Filosa also confirmed that Maserati is not for sale, despite its recent adjusted operating loss of €198 million on fewer than 8,000 cars shipped last year.
