About Maserati
Maserati, the epitome of Italy's finest traditional luxury sports cars. Let's dive into the captivating narrative of Maserati's storied history, shall we?Act 1: The Roaring Twenties
In the heart of Bologna, Italy, Maserati was born in 1914, founded by the Maserati brothers. The roaring twenties saw Maserati establishing itself as a force in racing, capturing hearts with its precision engineering and sleek designs.
Act 2: The Trident's Triumphs
The iconic Trident logo emerged in the 1920s, symbolizing Maserati's dominance in the racing world. Models like the Tipo 26 and the 250F graced the tracks, with the latter securing Juan Manuel Fangio's Formula One World Championship in 1957.
Act 3: The Road Cars Roar (1960s-1980s)
Maserati transitioned from racetracks to the streets, introducing luxurious grand tourers. The Ghibli, a name evoking the desert wind, and the stunning Bora and Merak, with their mid-engine designs, became symbols of automotive elegance.

Ghibli (1967-1973): Approximately 1,170 units.
Bora (1971-1978): Around 524 units.
Merak (1972-1983): Approximately 1,830 units.
Act 4: Turbulence and Triumphs

Biturbo (1981-1994): Over 38,000 units.
Finale: Modern Elegance and Power
