2 - Company history
-
- Officine Alfieri Maserati was founded on
December 1, 1914 in Bologna, Italy. Since then,
Maserati has played a consistently important role
in the history of sports car culture and its
development. Nearly a century of activity has
brought with it moments of glory on the road and
the track as well as more difficult times, which
have helped forge the companys character and
personality.This section brings you all of the
most important moments in the story of the
Maserati marque. These include the 246.029 km/h
world speed record set by Borzacchini in 1929,
the World Championship won by Fangio with the
250F in 1957, and the more recent launch of the
new 390-bhp Coupé Cambiocorsa in Detroit in
January 2002, which marked Maseratis return to
the US market.However, Maseratis history
involves more than its glorious sporting
achievements and the launch of great road cars
the company has also developed industrially over
the years. - Its relocation from Bologna to the
current site in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena in
1940 and its acquisition by Ferrari, completed in
1997, are but two examples of the many major
events which have hailed important developments
in Maseratis expansion strategies and the launch
of its new cars. Maserati is a marque the began
life in a local context but then went on to
become a major international concern, with
representatives in 43 countries. In this section,
you can relive this enthralling history and get
to know the people, achievements, and cars which
have made the marque famous. -
3Quattroporte The majestic new
Pininfarina-styled Maserati Quattroporte is a
curvaceous yet aggressive-looking, big,
five-metre long saloon that hails the rebirth of
the "Italian flagship car".The Quattroporte is
the ultimate embodiment of qualities for which
Italy is renowned throughout the world an
appreciation of beauty and good living, elegance,
sophisticated engineering, genuinely sporty
temperament and alluring exclusivity.A host of
other features also render this new Maserati a
truly exclusive car a highly sophisticated,
light, compact yet thrillingly responsive
4.2-litre 90 V8 that punches out 400bhp the
Skyhook automatic damping system the renowned
MSP (Maserati Stability Program) electronically
controlled power steering and a powerful braking
system.The purity of the technical solutions
adopted for the Quattroporte, the lack of any
fussy details or complications, the sensuality of
a line created by the worlds most celebrated
stylist, and a sophisticated custom leather and
wood interior personalized to suit each
individual owner, all combine to make the new
Quattroporte absolutely irresistible.
4GranSport The latest addition to the Maserati
range is the Maserati GranSport.It is a new
model celebrating the concept of sportiness at
the heart of all of the Tridents Grand Tourers.
The GranSport was unveiled to the world for the
first time at Genevas International Motor Show
in March 2004.The new car, which joins the
Coupé and Spyder in the Maserati range, goes on
sale next summer. The GranSports name alone
suggests its eager thoroughbred GT spirit, the
kind of spirit that can provide plenty of fun on
demand for the driver. The GranSport name also
has a special symbolic significance for the
Trident as it was first used in the 1950s for an
elegant two-litre coupe designed by the
Carozzeria Frua on the base of the famous A6
G.The new GranSport, however, is designed to
offer an exciting alternative to the current
Coupé, and as such, has been treated to series of
new enhancements that give it a very powerful
temperament indeed.
5Spyder GT The Spyder artfully combines the
classic timelessness of its glamorous lines, the
unique Modena tradition and the most
sophisticated sports technology available today.
It is a car built around a chassis and an engine,
designed for drivers who want to have fun behind
the wheel.
6Mc12 The result is that 37 long years after its
last victory in an international championship
(1967, Cooper Maserati F1, South African Grand
Prix), the Trident is returning to the
track.The Ferrari Maserati Groups wealth of
knowledge and technological excellence have been
poured into the design of the new car. In
addition to this, its styling was developed in
the wind tunnel from a Giugiaro idea by Maserati
technicians with the support of Frank Stephenson,
the Ferrari Maserati Groups own Director of
Concept Design and Development. The European
type-approved version of the new car goes on sale
after the summer.Designed for high level road
use, it can exceed 330 km/h at full throttle,
sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
Although easy and pleasant to drive on the road,
the MC12 is also a brilliantly dynamic car.
7- Opinions
- We choose the theme of cars because
since we were children we have always had as a
hobby cars and everything around them. That the
reason we choose Maserati which is one the famous
Italians brand. The cars we names are the best
cars on this brand and have the most powerful
motor. In Chile are not many cars like this
because of the price and is the same for Ferrari
and another expensive brands.
