Maserati suspended production of cars due to low demand, reports Automotive News Europe referring to the statement of trade union leaders of this company. Simple will last until January 15, 2018. In particular, the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte models will not be made from December 15 to January 15, Levante from December 20 to January 15, and GranTurismo and Grancabrio from December 16 to January 8. But it's still, as they say, half the trouble. Because of the small demand, the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles bosses temporarily stopped investing money in the development and production of new Maserati models. How long it will last is not known. This means that in the near future we are unlikely to see new models of this brand, but the existing models of the upgrade, apparently, still get.

So, the release of new models of this brand (Alfieri, as well as new coupe and convertible for the replacement of Granturismo and Grancabrio), which was scheduled for 2018, is in jeopardy. Federico Bellino, a representative of the union, in his interview, said that the sales of Maserati in China were particularly bad. But even recently, the Celestial Empire was the leader in sales of cars of this brand. Meanwhile, it is projected that in 2017, around 43,000 Maserati cars will be sold worldwide. This is slightly more than in 2016. The most demanded model is Levante.
