It was ok, they had an f40, and some 360's that looked damn good. Nothing special really just a bunch of drool. The funny thing is i didn't feel like i was worthy enough to touch one. Btw who owns ferrari now? I thought audi owned the majority and the rest was owned by the ferrari family but i can't seem to find the information somewhere. Can someone help me out?

Audi now has the controlling interest in Lamborghini, that is what you may be thinking of.

Yes, but who owns Fiat? At the moment its the Agnelli family, some Italian banks and 20% General Motors.
Fiat is however in massive debt. The deal with General Motors is supposed to have a clause which forces the American company to take the other 80%, but GM doesn't want to do that and says the clause is invalid.

Fiat needs some money badly and we'll probably see them float a proportion of Ferrari on the Italian stock market to raise some cash.
This will be nothing like a much as Fiat need and we'll see a major shake up. Which could see a sale of Ferrari but not for quite a time.

Indeed the only major car manufacturers which are in a good position are the Germans and some of the Japanese.

Yes, but Fiat sold a third of shares for €775m to Mediobanca (an Italian investment bank) last June; determining the value of the whole Ferrari business to €2.4 billion.
