In July 1997, [[Fiat|FIAT]] sold a 50% share in the company to Maserati's long-time arch-rival [[Ferrari]] (Ferrari itself being owned by [[Fiat|FIAT]]).<ref name="maserati.com"/> In 1999, Ferrari took full control, making Maserati its luxury division. A new factory was built, replacing the existing 1940s-era facility.

The steps taken by the new parent company resulted in the improved '''Quattroporte Evoluzione''' which was introduced at the March 1998 [[Geneva Motor Show#1998|Geneva Motor Show]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,15/articleid,0537_01_1998_0062_0015_7123782/ |title=Testore: "Una sfida mondiale" |first=Michele |last=Fenu |date=4 March 1998 |page=15 |newspaper=[[La Stampa]] |language=IT |access-date=5 April 2015}}</ref>

In 1998, a new chapter began in Maserati's history when the company launched the [[Maserati 3200 GT|3200 GT]]. This two-door coupé is powered by a 3.2&nbsp;L twin-turbocharged V8 derived from the Shamal engine, which is rated at {{convert|370|hp}}.

In 2002 the 3200 GT was replaced by the [[Maserati Coupé]] and Spyder; evolved from the 3200, these cars used an all-new, [[naturally aspirated]], [[dry sump]] 4.2-litre V8 with a [[transaxle]] gearbox. In turn Coupé and Spyder were replaced by the [[Maserati GranTurismo|GranTurismo and GranCabrio]].

Meanwhile, two new models were shown to the public: the [[Maserati MC12|MC12]] road supersports and successful GT racer with a [[Enzo Ferrari (automobile)|Ferrari Enzo]]–derived chassis and engine and the new [[Maserati Quattroporte#Quattroporte V (M139, 2003–2012)|Quattroporte]], a luxury saloon with the 4.2-litre V8 engine of the Gran Turismo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.caranddriver.com/maserati/quattroporte|title=Maserati Quattroporte – Car and Driver|website=www.caranddriver.com|access-date=2017-01-16}}</ref> In 2001, Ferrari decided to change all of the old tooling and installed high-tech devices in the Modena factory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.maseratiusa.com/us/en/brand/a-history-of-innovation |title=Maserati History – A Tale of Innovation |publisher=Maserati USA |access-date=2022-02-27}}</ref>
