Italian premium sports car maker Ferrari NV will expand sales of easier-driving grand touring cars, but will not try to chase rival Porsche`s annual sales volume, Ferrari Chairman John Elkann told an audience of classic car enthusiasts gathered at this storied golf resort on the Pacific coast.

Elkann also reiterated that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, of which he is chairman, remains open to opportunities to combine with other automakers, but is positioned to remain independent.&nbsp;

Fiat Chrysler in May proposed a merger with French automaker Renault SA, but the deal fell apart after the French government intervened and Elkann withdrew the proposed merger.&nbsp;

Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley sent the same message to Renault and other would-be partners earlier this month.

Elkann visited Pebble Beach during the annual Concours d`Elegance, during which wealthy collectors bring some of the world's rarest vintage automobiles to be admired and sold and premium manufacturers showcase exotic new models.

Ferrari is best known for flashy, high-performance sports cars.

Among fans of vintage<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/sebastian-vettel-still-has-what-it-takes-at-ferrari-says-mark-webber-230801"> Ferraris</a>, more understated GT, or grand touring, cars from the 1960s, some with seating for four people, are among the most popular models on auction blocks and at enthusiast events.

&nbsp;GT cars were designed to be comfortable on long road trips.&nbsp;

Elkann hinted Ferrari will unveil a new GT type car in November. Ferrari has said previously that about 40 per cent of its total sales could come from GT cars by 2022, up from 32 per cent now.&nbsp;

Ferrari has outlined plans to expand revenue to 5 billion euros ($5.54 billion) by 2022 from 3.4 billion euros in 2017.

The company has said it plans to add a model called the Purosangue to compete with a growing stable of sport utility vehicles wearing premium sports car brands, such as the Lamborghini Urus.

Rival Porsche AG, a unit of Volkswagen AG, has expanded its sales to more than 250,000 sports cars and sport utility vehicles annually.

Elkann said Ferrari is not aiming for Porsche`s level of sales.&nbsp;

A sleek BMW <a href="http://www.wionews.com/science-tech/following-steve-jobs-vision-apple-hires-secret-team-for-treating-diabetes-cnbc-14473">sports car once owned by visionary Apple founder Steve Jobs</a> is expected to fetch up to $400,000 at an auction in the US. 
 
Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle had apparently enthused Jobs to buy the car that was a paragon of modern automotive engineering and ergonomics, reflective of Job&#39;s own products and psyche,&nbsp;said RM Sotheby&#39;s auction house in the US. 
 
While not known to be a car enthusiast, Jobs did have a penchant for German automobiles and design, owning BMW motorcycles, as well as Mercedes-Benz SLs. 
 
The 2000 BMW Z8 convertible, which is expected to sell for up to $400,000, sports a minimalist style, finished in Titanium over a Black leather interior. 
 
The tech genius bought the car in October 2000, keeping it until 2003 before it was sold to the Los Angeles-based current owner. 
 
The Z8 has a plethora of important accessories, including its proper hardtop and hardtop stand, car cover, owner&#39;s and service manuals, service records, two keys, navigation CDs, and&nbsp;most significantly, its original BMW-branded Motorola flip-phone. 
 
&quot;Interestingly enough, and perhaps unsurprisingly, Jobs was known to have hated the Motorola phone,&quot; the auction house said. 
 
The auction will take place on December 6.
