Critical Shifts:
-
Super-Luxury Vehicles as Formal Financial Collateral: The creation of an institutional private credit platform solely backed by Ferrari vehicles underscores a growing trend where ultra-luxury cars are treated less like traditional depreciating vehicles and more like blue-chip fine art or real estate assets.
-
The Dealership Network as an Institutional Engine: Fasanara's strategic partnership with Mattioli Automotive Group demonstrates that franchised luxury dealerships are shifting from pure retail points to foundational operational partners. The dealership group's infrastructure across California provides the critical valuation, servicing, and market lifecycle expertise required to manage and underwrite high-value automotive collateral.
-
Capitalizing on Life-Cycle Monetization and Value Creation: Beyond basic floorplanning or consumer financing, this platform incorporates an "active value-creation program." By funding the acquisition, restoration, and preservation of rare vehicles, it highlights an elite dealership revenue model focused entirely on the appreciation and long-term ecosystem management of exotic vehicles.

Fasanara Capital announced the launch of Fasanara Ferrari Lending Platform, a partnership dedicated to financing loans backed by Ferrari automobiles, alongside the Fasanara Ferrari Strategy: Owner’s Circle, a new investment strategy targeting attractive risk/return opportunities while offering investors privileged access to one of the world’s most iconic luxury ecosystems.
The platform originates and manages loans secured by Ferrari cars, a highly admired, sophisticated and culturally significant asset class. It combines Fasanara’s institutional credit expertise with deep Ferrari market knowledge to create a differentiated private credit opportunity at the intersection of luxury assets, alternative lending, and automotive heritage. The platform is supported by a secured lending model and complemented by an active value-creation program in selected Ferrari cars.
Seed capital is expected to come from two existing Fasanara strategies – the ONE Fasanara Multi-Strategy (F-ONE) and the Fasanara Sports Lending Strategy. These strategies reflect Fasanara’s broader conviction in multi-strategy asset-backed private credit and highly specialized lending markets where proprietary origination and collateral expertise can generate differentiated risk-adjusted returns.
At the heart of this initiative is a strategic partnership with Mattioli Automotive Group, a full-service automotive group led by Giacomo Mattioli in California. Mattioli Automotive Group’s integrated operations span the full Ferrari ownership lifecycle across an exceptional portfolio of assets including three dealerships – Ferrari Beverly Hills, Ferrari Westlake, and Ferrari Pasadena – and two dedicated service centers in Ferrari Beverly Hills Service Center and Ferrari Los Angeles Service Center.
Francesco Filia, CEO of Fasanara Capital said: “This is a first-of-its-kind platform. We are combining institutional private credit with one of the most emotionally powerful and resilient luxury asset classes in the world. Ferrari is not simply a car. It is heritage, scarcity, performance, design, and identity. Fasanara Ferrari Lending allows us to finance that ecosystem in a disciplined, collateralized, and scalable way.”
Through the associated Owner’s Circle, investors are invited into a curated lifestyle program built around the global Ferrari community. Members will enjoy privileged access to Ferrari-focused experiences across the globe from private dinners and scenic drives to collector gatherings and concours events, offering moments normally reserved for the innermost circle of Ferrari owners and collectors.
