Maserati To Halt Production As Ghibli Sales Slow

Maserati will send its workers on an enforced one week vacation in November as the carmaker looks to match supply with demand.

After an initial boom in sales for its Ghibli sedan, it seems the honeymoon period is over and the carmaker is now churning out more than is required.

As a result, parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has made the call for a temporary halt - as reported in a statement from Italy’s Fismic Union to industry paper Automotive News Europe.

And it isn’t just the Ghibli that will see production trimmed during the shutdown, with the Quattroporte line also set for a temporary freeze.

The move will affect around 2000 employees, and follows a similar decision last month.
