Maserati
Maserati is a famous Italian manufacturer of racing cars and sports cars, established in 1914 in Bologna. The company's headquarters are now in Modena, and their emblem is a trident. Today, Maserati is owned directly by the Italian car giant Fiat, after having been a part of Ferrari (a company in which Fiat has a majority stake) for some years.

Maserati Coupe
In 2002, Maserati launched the Coupe. Based on the 3200 GT, which is not sold in the United States. Both models have a normally aspirated 4.2 L engine producing 390 bhp (291 kW). The top speed is 177 mph (285 km/h), while 0-60 time is 4.9 seconds. The V8 engine was designed by Ferrari but built by Maserati.

Maserati Spyder
The Spyder was first revealed to the public at the 2001 Frankfurt Auto Show. It made its United States debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2002.

Upon its release, the Maserati Spyder became the first Maserati sold in the United States since 1990; the Coupe was released shortly thereafter. They are also the first Maseratis to feature a normally aspirated V8. Maserati had been producing twin turbo engines for 20 years prior to the release of the 2002 Coupe and Spyder.

Maserati Gran Sport
The GranSport (the Spyder version is the 90th Anniversary Edition, not GranSport) is a modified version of the Coupe and Spyder with aerodynamic body cladding, a chrome mesh grille, carbon-fiber interior trim, and special 19 inch wheels. It uses the Skyhook active suspension, with a 0.4 in (10.2 mm) lower ride height, and the Cambiocorsa transmission is recalibrated for quicker shifts. The exhaust is also specially tuned to "growl" on start-up and full throttle.

Maserati Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte is a luxury four-door sedan made by Maserati of Italy. There have been five generations of the car, each separated by a period of roughly five years.

Maserati Ghibli
The Maserati Ghibli is a two-door, two-seater coupe released by Maserati in 1967. The V8-powered Ghibli was the most popular Maserati vehicle since the automaker withdrew from racing in the 1950s, and it outsold its two biggest rivals, the Ferrari Daytona and the Lamborghini Miura. It debuted at the 1966 Turin Motor Show.

Maserati Khamsin
The Maserati Khamsin was a sports car introduced in 1974 by Italian automaker Maserati as a successor to the Maserati Ghibli. It sported a 4.9 litre V-8 delivering 320 hp, housed in bodywork designed by Bertone. Production of the Khamsin ended in 1980.

Maserati Bora
The Maserati Bora is a Maserati two-seater coupe powered by a V8 engine mounted amidships. Produced from 1971 to 1980, it had a top speed of 160 mph (258 km/h).

Shortly after Citroën took a controlling interest in Maserati in 1968, the concept of a mid-engined two-seat supercar was proposed. Lamborghini and De Tomaso already had the Miura and Mangusta whilst Ferrari were known to be developing their own mid-engined contender. Initially known as Tipo 117 and later the Bora, the Maserati project got underway in October 1968 and a prototype was on the road by the summer of 1969. Shown in its final form at the Geneva Salon in March 1971, the first customer cars had been delivered before the end of the year.

Maserati Merak
The Maserati Merak, introduced in 1974, was essentially a junior version of the Maserati Bora. Designed during the Citroen era (1968-1975), the Merak featured a 3 litre Maserati V-6 (190 hp), also used in the Citroen SM.

Other Citroen parts used for the Merak included the SM's dramatic dashboard and the hydraulic brake system. In 1977 these parts were supplanted by more conventional units.

Maserati Biturbo
After Alessandro de Tomaso acquired Maserati in 1976, he had ambitious plans for the marque - he knew the power of the racing honed Maserati brand name.

The Biturbo was responsible for bringing Italian prestige to a wider audience, with sales of about 40,000 units.

The original Biturbo was a two-door, four-seater notchback coupe featuring, as the name implies, a two litre V-6 with two turbochargers, of somewhat smaller dimensions than the then current BMW 3-series, with a beautiful sumptuous interior.

Maserati Shamal
The Maserati Shamal is a small, two-door coupe introduced by Italian automaker Maserati on December 17, 1989. It is named after shamal, a hot summer wind that blows in large areas of Mesopotamia. The Shamal was designed by Marcello Gandini, who is famous for designing the Lamborghini Countach.

Maserati Boomerang
The Maserati Boomerang was a concept car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. First revealed at the Turin Auto Show in 1971 as a non-functional model, but by the time the 1972 Geneva Auto Show came around they had worked it into a fully functional vehicle.

The design of the Boomerang would resonate through Giugiaro's future designs for many years. Its sharp angles and wedge shape could be easily seen in the Maserati Merak, the Lotus Esprit, and the DeLorean DMC-12. Powered by a 310bhp 4.7L V8 engine driving the rear wheels, 5 speed transmission, and having a fully decked out interior. With a unique dashboard layout where the steering wheel and gauge cluster are part of a single console that emerges from the dash, and the steering wheel rotates around the stationary gauges.

Maserati MC12
The Maserati MC12 is a mid-engined supercar derivative of the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari. It was developed specifically to be homologated for racing in the FIA GT Championship, with a minimum requirement of 25 road versions before the car could be allowed to compete. Maserati built a maximum of 50 units, with 25 more expected in roadster form.

Maserati 3200 GT
With the 3200 GT in 1998 Maserati returned to its roots. The luxury coupé was styled by Italdesign, whose founder and head Giorgetto Giugiaro penned, among others, the classic Ghibli, Bora and Merak.

The 3200 GT shared the Quattroporte IV's and Shamal's twin-turbo 3.2-liter V8, revised and tuned to 370 bhp while the 3200 GTA was equipped with an automatic gearbox and its engine delivered 368 bhp. Presented to the public at the Geneva Show in 2001, the "Assetto Corsa" was a limited-edition, run-out version of the GT with a special handling package. The 3200 GT was sold mainly in Europe.
