Fasanara, Mattioli team on Ferrari-backed lending

Fasanara Capital announced the launch of the Fasanara Ferrari Lending Platform and the Fasanara Ferrari Strategy: Owner’s Circle, a partnership with Mattioli Automotive Group to originate and manage loans secured by Ferrari automobiles and to provide investors access to Ferrari-focused experiences.

The platform will make secured loans using Ferrari cars as collateral. Seed capital is expected to come from Fasanara’s ONE Fasanara Multi-Strategy (F-ONE) and its Sports Lending Strategy. Fasanara said lending will be supported by collateral controls and an active programme aimed at protecting and enhancing vehicle value for selected cars.

Mattioli Automotive Group, based in California and led by Giacomo Mattioli, will supply dealer, service and restoration capabilities. The group operates three Ferrari dealerships-Ferrari Beverly Hills, Ferrari Westlake and Ferrari Pasadena-and two service centres in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. Its businesses include Scuderia Corsa, a factory-backed multi-championship racing team, and Bacchelli & Villa, a Modena-based Ferrari restoration specialist.

Scuderia Corsa will provide motorsport services such as race car preparation, programme management and track-day experiences that the platform can use to engage clients and generate revenue. Bacchelli & Villa will contribute restoration and maintenance expertise for high-value collector cars.

The Owner’s Circle is an investor programme tied to the platform. Members will be offered access to collector events, private dinners, scenic drives and concours gatherings, with the stated aim of combining financial exposure to Ferrari-backed loans with experiential benefits.

Francesco Filia, chief executive of Fasanara Capital, described the initiative as “a first-of-its-kind platform,” and added it combines institutional private credit with Ferrari as an asset class. Giacomo Mattioli, founder of Mattioli Automotive Group, described Ferrari as “beauty, legacy, Italian excellence, and the power of community,” and said the partnership will provide flexible financing to owners while creating investor access to the Ferrari ecosystem. Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, CEO of Bacchelli & Villa and president of Cavallino Classic, called the platform a way to celebrate Ferrari collectors’ heritage and to “open a new chapter for investors.”

Fasanara cited growth in private credit, rising institutional interest in collectible assets and wider global Ferrari ownership as factors behind the launch. The firm said it aims to apply institutional underwriting and portfolio management to loans secured by limited-production and collectible Ferraris.

The announcement did not include loan terms, underwriting standards or investor eligibility details.
