THE FIAT GROUP IN

Maserati Spyder – 390 hp, 4200 cc.
In 2001, Maserati launched ambitious marketing programs,
particularly in the North American market, to which it is
returning after a 12-year hiatus (the first cars were scheduled
for delivery at the beginning of 2002).
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
At the consolidated Ferrari/Maserati level, revenues were
about 1,058 million euros, or 18% more than the 893 million
euros reported in 2000. Operating income totaled 62 million
euros (+35% compared with 2000), reflecting strong sales
and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Depreciation and amortization increased to 76 million euros,
up from 64 million euros in 2000. Research and development
outlays were also up, rising from 63 million euros in 2000
to 81 million euros in 2001.
Ferrari’s mission is to consolidate its leadership of the exclusive
elite-car market segment, leveraging the positive image generated
by its successes on the racetrack.
Net income totaled 47 million euros, up sharply from the
7 million euros reported the previous year.
2001 was a year of great achievements for the Sector’s
racing activities. With victories in both the Constructors’
Championship (the third in a row) and the Drivers’ World
Championship (the second in as many years), Ferrari
confirmed its status as a top racing organization and showed
that it continues to improve every year. The unstinting
commitment of a dynamic and close-knit team enabled Ferrari
once more to score important victories in contests where
it competes with some of the world’s best constructors.
Ferrari won nine of the 17 races in the championship series,
earning a total of 179 points (170 in 2000). This success
rewards the great professional commitment of the team’s
members and the effort made by the company to deploy
the most sophisticated technologies.
