Maserati was founded in Bologna by Alfieri Maserati on 1 December 1914 and established as a mechanical workshop named ‘Officine Alfieri Maserati’. In 1926 Maserati was transformed into a company designing, building and selling its own vehicles. The Maserati brothers adopted the symbol of the Trident, inspired by the famous statue of Neptune in Bologna. At the end of the 1930s, Maserati moved to Modena to the current site in Viale Ciro Menotti. Maserati has been part of the Fiat Group – now FCA – since 2005 and is a prestigious brand in the sector of sports and luxury saloon cars. It can be found in more than 70 countries, where it continues to bear witness to Italian sophistication, elegance and style around the world. Today the Modena factory and the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant, in Grugliasco, are able to guarantee the highest technical and quality standards. Maserati celebrated the start of 2013 with the presentation of the sixth generation Quattroporte and with the Ghibli, the new top of the range saloon which marks Maserati’s entrance into the E segment of the market. The sporty Ghibli saloon and flagship Quattroporte, feature V6 and V8 Twin-Turbo engines with power outputs ranging from 330-530hp: there is also a Q4 all-wheel drive version as well as the recently introduced V6 Turbo Diesel with 275hp. The range is completed by the GranTurismo coupe and the “open” GranCabrio version; equipped with aspirated V8 engines with 405-460hp they are able to offer the comfort typical of Maserati GT cars, designed to accompany passengers on pleasant journeys at a fast pace and in a comfortable and elegant way. 2014 was a very special year for Maserati as the company celebrated its centennial and, with 36,500 units delivered, a record number of vehicles sold. |
