Stellantis has written off €1.5 billion (£1.2bn) of investment in Maserati , leaving some future models in doubt.

Maserati has never been a flagship brand for Stellantis, but it appears the parent company is questioning its storied Italian brand’s future. Stellantis’ CFO recently announced that it had scuttled a planned $1.

Stellantis' move puts at risk future electric models like the MC20 Folgore and the replacements for the Quattroporte and Levante

The decision comes after a dismal year for Maserati, with sales plummeting from approximately 26,600 units to just 11,300—a staggering 58% drop. This downturn has raised concerns about the brand’s sustainability within Stellantis’ portfolio.

Planned electric versions of models including the Quattroporte and MC20 are expected to be on the chopping block.
