Like most car companies, Maserati takes its name from the family that founded the company in the early 20th century.
Created in Bologna, Italy, Maserati began in the realm of racing. Both of the founding Maserati brothers had previous experience in building racing cars prior to Maserati’s beginning. As a result of prior racing experience, Maserati showed early success in racing.
Maserati Logo
Inspired by fountain trident located in one of Bologna’s city squares, Maserati’s logo has proved to be just as iconic as Mercedes, BMW, or Ferrari logos. The god of Neptune is representing Maserati’s top performance capabilities.
Now headquartered in Modena, Italy, Maserati has changed hands multiple times in previous years. While Ferrari is given most of the credit for rebuilding Maserati in recent years, Fiat has paired Maserati with Alfa Romeo as of late.
Old Generation Success: Maserati 3500 GT
The GT model that Maserati produced during the 60s and 70s is pure art. 3500 GT’ more than tripled Maserati’s overall production of vehicles and kept the company relevant.
No more than 33 cars of the Maserati 5000 GT specialized edition were ever made. The Shah of Persia requested the original 3500 GT be enhanced with a race car engine, which resulted in the rare alternate model being produced.
