Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is shedding itself of Ferrari

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles,FCA, will hold a public stock offering to sell off 10% of Ferrari and dole out the remaining 80% of the company to current shareholders.

Piero Ferrari will hold onto his 10%.

Michigan Radio's automotive reporter Tracy Samilton discussed this sale with us.

Samilton says that about 7,000 Ferraris are made a year, which along with their price, gives the vehicle an “unattainable mystique.”

The dispute over stretching that number to make more sales is a contributing factor to the split between FCA and Ferrari.

Samilton notes that the Ferrari stock current shareholders will receive will be worth more than Fiat Chrysler stock.
