It would seem that <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/fiat">Fiat</a> head Sergio Marchionne is nothing if not ambitious. Following the seven-hour-long marathon presentation of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/chryslers-5-year-business-plan-the-product-breakdown/">Chrysler's latest business plan</a> back in November of 2009, the giant Italian automaking alliance has just released its own five-year business plan, which includes Fiat, <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/maserati">Maserati</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/ferrari">Ferrari</a> in addition to announcing the long-awaited<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/21/alfa-romeo-return-to-u-s-confirmed-with-big-ambition-chrysler/"> return of the Alfa Romeo brand</a> to the United States as a full-range automaker.<br />
<br />
We'll start with Ferrari... for obvious reasons. Kicking off a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/21/report-ferrari-reveals-plans-for-six-new-models/">series of six new models</a> will be a replacement for the four-seat <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/612+scaglietti">612 Scaglietti</a>, which is destined to add a hybrid powertrain to its impressive V12 engine. Next up is a convertible version of the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/458+italia">458 Italia</a> sometime next year, and later another 458-based model that will be much more track focused, like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/430+scuderia">430 Scuderia</a>.<br />
<br />
Staying with the Prancing Horse lineup, we should see a new range-topping Ferrari to take the mantle from the discontinued <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/enzo">Enzo</a> hypercar, very likely to see an engine utilizing forced induction along with a lightweight platform. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/599+gtb+fiorano">599 GTB</a> will get a replacement as well, and the recently released <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/california">California</a> will see itself updated and granted an M designation.<br />
<br />
Like what you're hearing so far? There's plenty more where that came from, make the jump for the rest of the goods.<br />
