AUTOMOBILES<br />

Fiat<br />

Practical, versatile and responsive. Made for consumers who are increasingly focused on environmental issues and<br />

technological innovation. The brand has a tradition of producing models that offer practical and affordable technology<br />

combined with unmistakable Italian design and, in recent years, it has also placed increasing emphasis on the<br />

ecological profile of its products. In fact, the constant commitment to developing concrete solutions that are deployable<br />

now has resulted in Fiat achieving the lowest average CO2 emissions among the top selling brands in Europe for more<br />

than 3 years running (source: JATO Dynamics).<br />

Alfa Romeo<br />

Sportiness, technology, comfort and elegance all come together to create the distinctive personality and style that<br />

characterize Alfa Romeo, the historic Italian marque that celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010 and continues to<br />

embody the values recognized by generations of auto enthusiasts: agility, spirit, style. That style comes from the<br />

combination of attractive proportions and state-of-the-art technology that offers optimum power, fuel consumption and<br />

ecological performance.<br />

Lancia<br />

Class, exclusivity and unmistakable Italian style are the hallmarks of Lancia's cars. For more than 100 years, the brand<br />

has been producing models whose elegant originality complements their day-to-day versatility, such as the compact<br />

Ypsilon, the Musa city limousine and the Delta, which blends style with an audacious and innovative spirit.<br />

Abarth<br />

Relaunched in 2007, Abarth is today synonymous with spirited performance and sporting emotion. The Scorpion brand<br />

has returned with cars that are ultra-modern yet true to its traditional spirit, packed with technology and performance<br />

born on the racetrack. Models include the Abarth Punto Evo, the 500C and the limited edition Abarth 695 Tributo<br />

Ferrari, released in 2010, together with the tuning kits and exclusive versions for racing enthusiasts.<br />

Fiat Professional<br />

Fiat Professional works in partnership with its customers: a partnership between professionals. With its full range of<br />

light commercial vehicles, Fiat Professional’s mission is to partner small and large companies in growing their<br />

businesses. Customers seeking productivity, ease of use and fuel efficiency rely on the know-how and innovation of<br />

Fiat Professional, an ally for businesses as they confront the challenges of the market.<br />

Maserati<br />

Maserati's cars are unique for their styling, elegance and advanced technology. Cars such as the Quattroporte, a<br />

sedan of unmistakable style that represents the ideal balance between luxury and performance; or the GranTurismo,<br />

the first 2-door, 4-seater modern coupé that combines power and elegance, futuristic design with surprising practicality;<br />

or the GranCabrio, the brand’s first ever 4-seater cabriolet. Maserati's excellence is often the result of experience<br />

gained on the racetrack. Indeed, it has a long and glorious racing heritage that continues today with the MC12, winner<br />

of 14 FIA GT Championships since its debut in 2004, and the new GranTurismo MC Trofeo, which, as of 2010, now<br />

has its own mono-brand trophy.<br />

Ferrari<br />

The company’s history officially began in 1947 when the first car emerged from the gates of no. 4 Via Abetone Inferiore<br />

in Maranello. That historic two-seater – the 125 S – went on to win the Rome Gran Prix in 1947 and rapidly evolved into<br />

a refined GT roadster. Ferrari has traveled a long way since then, but its mission has remained the same: to make<br />

unique sports cars that represent the finest in Italian auto design and craftsmanship, both on the track and on the road.<br />

The essence of excellence and sportiness, Ferrari needs no introduction. Numerous Formula One titles (16 times<br />

winner of the Constructors’ championship and 15 times winner of the Drivers’ championship) are its calling card. And,<br />

of course, the impressive line-up of legendary GT models: cars that are unique for their design, technology and<br />

luxurious styling and that represent the best in Italian the world over.<br />
