The MC20, which had its UK dynamic showcase at last year's Festival of Speed, also makes an appearance on the hill climb route, and is joined by the latest model in the range, the new Maserati MC20 Cielo spyder. Launched in May 2022, the MC20 Cielo weighs just 65kg more than the coupé and features an innovative retractable glass roof. The state-of-the-art electrochromic (smart glass) window can instantly be transformed from clear to opaque at the touch of a button on the central screen, courtesy of Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology. The roof is also best-in-class in terms of thermal insulation and an opening and closing speed of just 12 seconds. Both models are paired with the powerful F1-derived V6 Nettuno engine, which ensures an exceptional power to weight ratio and jaw-dropping acceleration and top speed, with the coupe achieving 0-62mph in approximately 3.0 seconds.

New Maserati MC20 Cielo Global Premiere
 

Modena, 25 May 2022 - The MC20 super sports car, now also a spyder: Maserati presents MC20 Cielo, a one-of-a-kind car that can deliver the performance of a true super sports car, together with a holistic and immersive driving pleasure the like of which has never been seen before.

MC20 Cielo announces its special features in its very name: MC stands for Maserati Corse ("Racing"); 20 refers to 2020, the year that began the brand"s new era; Cielo ('sky") highlights the fact that it is a model devoted to driving pleasure in the great outdoors, while maintaining all the prerogatives of the coupeacute;.

Equipped with the revolutionary V6 Nettuno engine, the Cielo offers a perfect mix of sportiness and luxury, courtesy of a specification unique to the segment: the innovative retractable glass roof.

In actual fact, the new spyder acts a meeting point between Maserati audacity and the infinite sky, featuring a special "sky feeling".

The model is equipped with a state-of-the-art electrochromic (smart glass) window that can instantly be transformed from clear to opaque at the touch of a button on the central screen, courtesy of Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology. The roof is also best-in-class in terms of thermal insulation and of opening and closing speed (just 12 seconds).

Courtesy of this epitome of technology, MC20 Cielo provides a multi-sensory driving experience: all-encompassing with the roof closed and opaque; unique for the in-cabin brightness when the roof is transparent; holistic with the top down.

>Developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab and produced at the historic plant on Viale Ciro Menotti, the spyder is 100% made in Italy and 100% made in Modena, as is the coupé version.

MC20 Cielo is designed for perfection. It weighs just 65 kg more than the coupé, made possible by meticulous, precise work during the stages of the car's design. As well as its outstanding weight-to-power ratio, the carbon fibre chassis (the same for all three configurations to come: coupé, spyder and the future electric version) also guarantees uncompromising torsional rigidity, offering a combination of extraordinary handling on the road and on the track.
 

Maserati MC20 Cielo

The new spyder is a car with an elegant yet highly sporty design. Its character and personality are truly eye-catching for the purity of its forms and the refined aerodynamics subjected to 360º testing in a wind tunnel, whether the roof is open or closed.

Nothing is superfluous in the design; everything has its own function. The only concession to a surprise effect is the butterfly doors, as in the MC20 super sports car. The butterfly door provides much easier access into and out of the cabin, as well as showing off the carbon fibre cockpit and the completely unmasked front wheel. From an aesthetic perspective, the launch version features a new three-layer metallic colour known as Acquamarina, available as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme.

A colour that interacts with light, revealing itself in a surprising way. The base is a pastel grey inspired by racing, reminiscent of the MC20's sporty DNA, accompanied by an iridescent aquamarine mica that enlivens the hue and makes it exceptional.

The new model also adds a wide range of Active Safety Systems. As well as the parking sensors, rear-view camera and blind spot monitoring included in the MC20 since the MY22, the new spyder introduces autonomous emergency brake, traffic sign information and a new 360º camera.

MC20 Cielo is equipped with an optional High Premium Sonus faber audio system. The MC20 Coupé system, an EISA award-winning in-vehicle audio system, has been specifically optimized to fit the unique acoustic and positioning needs of the spyder's cabin, situating the system's 12 speakers to result in the Natural Sound that distinguishes Sonus faber audio systems.

Finally, the in-car experience is managed from the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) Multimedia system, and from Maserati Connect.

At the World Premiere of the new Maserati spyder, the bond with the sky will be the central theme, to take you into a new, holistic dimension: just raise your eyes and look up to the sky.

MC20 is a one-of-a-kind spyder:
at one with the clouds and the stars, without sacrificing the performance of the coupé.
 

Modena, 25 May 2022 - Maserati MC20 Cielo opens up new horizons.

The Cielo is a “first-of-its-kind” spyder: getting in and driving the car is like diving into a new holistic dimension. The spirit of the super sports car takes on a new form; shaped in a wind tunnel, the clean lines open up and become one with the clouds and the stars, without sacrificing the thrills inherent in the coupé version.

MC20 and MC20 Cielo are twins with two different souls: two distinct models, both one of a kind yet united by the racing spirit, audacity and performance of genuine sports cars.

Cielo offers an all-new, immersive driving experience, courtesy of its electrochromic (smart glass) roof. Simply press a button and the senses are awakened: in only 12 seconds, the super sports car is transformed, opening the top up to the sky. Alternatively, if you prefer to enjoy the all-encompassing atmosphere in the cabin, this is where the “sky feeling” comes into its own. Another tap and the roof goes from opaque to clear. One more and the magic happens again, this time in reverse.

Innovation, the guiding spirit at Maserati: state-of-the-art Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology lets you look up at the stars even when the top is on. It only takes a moment for the roof to become clear, at virtually any temperature, while the sound insulation keeps you cradled in the greatest comfort there is.

The Cielo is a holistic car and makes this its manifesto at first sight, with the exclusive Acquamarina colour. Available as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme, the launch colour expounds the idea of travelling in the great outdoors. The three-layer paint is based on a racing-inspired grey, with an iridescent mica in aquamarine. A fresh, bright tone, it interacts with the light and is revealed in a spirit of surprise, contemporaneity and lustre. To make the connection between the spyder’s elegance and sporty soul even more exclusive: the PrimaSerie Launch Edition, a limited series with exclusive features such as the Acquamarina bodywork, ice-coloured interior and even a few golden details.

The secrets of the MC20 are no longer a mystery and are redoubled in the MC20 Cielo: pure minimalism and refined aerodynamics, researched in a wind tunnel. Everything remains functional in the new model too, but the ‘wow’ factor is not lost: the butterfly doors open up as a coup de théâtre, like wings unfolding upward towards the immensity of the heavens. They are designed to make it easier for the driver and passengers to get in and out despite the low floor, always ready to go.

To top off the driving experience, the uncompromising performance of the Nettuno engine: the heart of the MC20 Cielo, the Maserati-patented V6 twin-turbo petrol engine with technology derived from Formula 1 and the capability to unleash an extraordinary output of 630 hp in 3000 cc of displacement.

The privileged contact with the absolute is also made all-encompassing by the North Sails capsule collection designed exclusively for the MC20 Cielo: Maserati is innovative by nature and is looking ahead into the future; North Sails and its extraordinary success on the high seas enables every generation of explorers to push the boundaries of challenge.

The upshot is a collection of high-performance, cutting-edge clothing, aimed specially at the adventurous in life: directly inspired by the PrimaSerie Launch Edition and its characteristic exclusivity, with its golden details and Ice Grey colour reminiscent of its racing spirit.v Here comes the wind again, bringing new Maserati models as per tradition. This time, the car doesn’t take the name of a wind, but evokes it instead: MC20 Cielo blows a wind of innovation, a new spyder concept of a one-of-a-kind super sports car in the “open-air” version, with the wind in its hair.

Regata dei Tre Golfi - Maserati Multi 70 and Giovanni Soldini cross the finish line in Capri first at the end of a gruelling head-to-head with Mana
 

Capri, 16 maggio 2022 - At 17:08 local time on Sunday 15 May, with a real time of 22 hours and 38 minutes, Giovanni Soldini and the crew of Maserati Multi70 were the first to cross the finish line of the 67th edition of the Regatta of the Three Gulfs, organised by the Circolo Remo e Vela Italia under the patronage of the Italian Sailing Federation and in collaboration with Yacht Club Italiano, Reale Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia, IMA, ORC, UVAI, AIVE..

Sharing the great result with Soldini was the crew of six sailors made up of Guido Broggi, Oliver Herrera Perez, Thomas Joffrin, Francesco Pedol, Alberto Riva, and Gianluigi Ugolini.

"#It was a really beautiful regatta and first of all I would like to congratulate the entire crew of Mana on behalf of the entire Maserati Multi70 team. Our opponents were really strong and gave us a hard time. We took turns leading the fleet for almost the entire race. The wind was light and the pitfalls were many. The situation unblocked itself in the Capri channel where, by holding higher, we gained an advantage that then allowed us to cross the finish line in the lead. A great emotion, a great satisfaction!"#.

With these words Giovanni Soldini comments on the result a few minutes after the arrival in Capri, which together with the islands of Procida, Ischia, Ventotene, Ponza and Li Galli was the spectacular scenario of a tactical duel with Roberto Pavoncelli's opponent Mana (skipper Paul Larsen). The two trimarans, both in MOD 70 mode, sailed side by side for almost the entire 150-mile course in the three gulfs of Naples, Gaeta and Sorrento.

The race for the multihull class started on 14 May 2022 at 18:30 local time from the Santa Lucia roadstead in front of Castel dell'Ovo. From the start line, sailing challenged a high pressure system characterised by flat calms and breeze regimes.

Precisely because of the prevalence of light winds, the multihulls' route, which initially should have extended as far as Santa Maria di Castellabate, was readjusted by the Race Committee and aligned with the traditional route, with the last buoy at Li Galli.

Maserati Multi70 participated in the TRE GOLFI for the first time.

Technological innovation, uncompromising performance, the desire to compete and win, this is what link the Brand and Maserati Multi 70, the "laboratory boat" on which the engineers of the Innovation Lab in Modena have transferred their know-how in aerodynamics and performance.

Maserati and ROKiT Venturi Racing unite from Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
 

Rome, 7 April 2022 - Maserati is on track for its debut for Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with ROKiT Venturi Racing.

Maserati and ROKiT Venturi Racing have selected the Rome E-Prix to announce their multi-year partnership, united with a fighting spirit and a continued thirst for ground-breaking innovation.

Maserati is the first Italian brand to participate in the Formula E championship and will make its debut on the starting grid with the new Gen3 car. The fastest, lightest and most powerful Formula E single-seater ever, it features a range of innovations in terms of design, production and technology.

Ahead of the Rome E-Prix, ROKiT Venturi Racing leads the two World Championships, Teams and Drivers. Last season, the team's campaign was the most successful to date, taking two victories, five podiums and the title of Vice-World Champion for the Swiss Italian Edoardo Mortara.

In the words of Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO: "Returning to motorsport with Formula E was a natural choice for Maserati. Indeed, we are driven by our passion and innovation. And we're happy to share this adventure with a partner that abides by the same values as we do and is looking ahead to the future, just like us. We share with the ROKiT Venturi Racing team the same determination and desire to compete and win on circuits all over the world."

Scott Swid, Chairman & Managing Partner, ROKiT Venturi Racing, said: "Partnering with Maserati for Gen3 is brilliant news. It's excellent for the team, for Maserati and Formula E, but above all else, it's fantastic news for the fans who will witness the return of an iconic marque to top-tier motorsport. Not only does this establish strong foundations for our long-term future in Formula E, but it also marks one of the most exciting stories in international sport in which a prestigious brand is returning to its roots by joining the most progressive and fastest-growing form of motorsport."

Susie Wolff, CEO & Managing Partner, ROKiT Venturi Racing, stated: "Uniting with Maserati marks the start of a new chapter and represents the best possible outcome for the team following our successful partnership with Mercedes. Being entrusted with the return of one of motorsport's most recognisable brands to international single-seater competition underlines our success in recent seasons in which we have firmly established ourselves as a commercially viable, race-winning team that can seriously contend for championships. With this commitment, the team is now in a fantastic position to contest Formula E's next generation of competition which will commence in 2023."

Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP, STELLANTIS Motorsport, added: "We are delighted to partner Formula E Maserati with ROKiT Venturi Racing, one of the most competitive teams in the championship. It is a real asset for Maserati to rely on Venturi expertise. We think that the collaboration of Maserati design skills and Venturi racing capabilities and experience will deliver a very efficient package. Our common DNA and passion for performance will unite the team."

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie: a special order from Mars
 

Modena, 22 March 2022 - Maserati is breaking the rules and fulfilling an order from Mars.

Grecale Mission from Mars is the result that goes beyond the boundaries of the Earth.

A special Maserati for a special customer.
 

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marte
Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marteo
 

Innovative by nature, Maserati has chosen the Fuoriserie Programme to create a unique model.

Maserati Fuoriserie is a blank slate and the brand is offering a wide range of designs and colours for it. The rest falls to the inspiration of individual customers (Martians too!), who are given the opportunity to take on the stance of a trendsetter and to express their personal creativity. The Mission from Mars has begun and the options to customise Grecale are pushed to their absolute limit.
 

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marte
Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marteo
 

The red dust of the planet Mars and its oxidised rocks cross-fertilise Grecale Mission from Mars: a special textured metallic is paint inspired by mineral dust and metal erosion is used on components inside and out.

The exteriors are painted in Galactic Orange, a Fuoriserie interpretation of the bodywork in a multi-layered colour. Its highly liquid base is reminiscent of molten metal, on top of an intense, futuristic and almost frosted orange-red resin.

To complete the exterior, Grecale Mission from Mars features special Vortex Wheels.

Not a mere customisation of the wheel rim from a chromatic perspective, but a genuine retelling of the mechanical processing of the material itself; its removal leaves behind a vortex design, recalling the displacement of air caused by start-up and travelling at speed.
 

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marte
Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marteo
 

The raw surface is protected by a transparent topcoat of black ink. Conversely, the grey of the tyres is made from a special blend dedicated to the planet Mars.

The badges are specific and the trident on the C-pillar merges into the bodywork, giving it a 2D aspect, in larger proportions than usual. The design of the Trident logo has been revisited with a glitch effect, both symbolising the rhythm of the waves and information incoming from outer space, and bringing to mind the feeling of movement at very high speed. The mirror effect is similar to a solar lens, here embedded in the dark orange of the bodywork. E.T. may have phoned home with his finger, but all it takes in the Grecale Mission from Mars is a tap on the 12.3" screen, the largest ever seen in a Maserati, for an all-encompassing experience inside the car and out, all the way to another planet.
 

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marte

"Connectivity with outer space" is not the only feature to assist with a journey beyond the boundaries of the Earth: intergalactic motorists can find a special "star chart" right on the ceiling. Just look up to see a projection of the main constellations, ideal to transport yourself into spaces left out from most standard atlases.

After setting up your route, all you need to do is enjoy the journey, courtesy of Grecale's best--in-class versatility and its interior: the seats act as the perfect pairing of a design inspired by the electric currents on Mars with astronauts' spacesuits and the latest trends in fashion, bringing together craftsmanship and innovation. The design elements are reinterpreted with an innovative flair. Not only mere graphics, but also know-how, transformed through curiosity and openness to stimuli from the beauty of the future with the details lying in the colours and materials, filtered through the characteristic style of Maserati.
 

Maserati Grecale Fuoriserie un ordine speciale da Marte
 

Technology reigns in the cabin in terms of the upholstery too: the car's interior uses transverse lasering with a contrasting multi-coloured welded backing, taping, silicone coatings, embossing and debossing on leather, and leverages automotive materials such as Alcantara and leather.

The boldest journey through outer space takes off from Mars and lands in Milan, where the special one-off Maserati will be unveiled at an exclusive evening event, the epitome of the everyday exceptional.

Grecale Mission from Mars is projecting Maserati forward into the future, as a bold synthesis of avant-garde, passion and unbounded customisation, made possible by Fuoriserie.

New Maserati Grecale Global Premiere
 

Modena, 22 March 2022 - The new Maserati Grecale SUV is "The Everyday Exceptional".

Grecale strikes the right balance between versatility, elegance, performance and innovation, guaranteeing performance, comfort and safety, all at the same time. These features are combined with off-road capabilities and uncompromising driving pleasure.

Developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, the new SUV is produced at the Cassino plant.

Grecale is a range within the range, the Trident brand's fullest ever.

An extremely wide range of engines is available: conventional internal combustion, hybrid and, in a year's time, Grecale will also be the first full-electric SUV in Maserati history.

Three versions will be rolled out at launch: GT, powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine capable of delivering 300 hp; Modena, with a four-cylinder 330-hp mild hybrid engine; and the powerful Trofeo, equipped with a high-performance 3.0L 530-hp petrol V6 based on the Nettuno engine fitted to the MC20. At launch, the Grecale is also available in the PrimaSerie Launch Edition, a limited edition featuring exclusive content.

To complete the range, the Grecale Folgore, the 100% electric version with 400V technology.

The new SUV stands out in terms of spaciousness and comfort, boasting an impressive set of "best-in-class" features. It is best-in-class in terms of interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds – on the Trofeo), top speed (285 km/h - again on the Trofeo), sound quality and extensive use of fine materials such as wood, carbon fibre and leather.

Its dimensions are a major factor: in the GT version, Grecale is 4,846 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,901 mm, a height of 1,670 mm, a width of 2,163 mm (including wing mirrors), with a rear wheel track of 1,948 mm (and even greater in the Trofeo).

The design of Grecale embraces Maserati's new visual symbol, which distinguishes every new model since the MC20. The front features a low and imposing grille. The profile is notable for its contrast between purity and technique, with a highly fluid body featuring meandering, visual forms and its technical components highlighted by the use of carbon fibre. In the rear, the boomerang taillights are inspired by the Giugiaro 3200 GT and fit in with the trapezoidal line, made even more striking by the coupé effect of the cabin and its finish like a sports car's.

Inside, in the cabin, the standout tech specs include the traditional Maserati clockface. Digital for the first time, it transforms into a veritable in-car concierge, courtesy of voice control.

Everything becomes touch-based, with extreme aesthetic cleanliness. The technology is controlled from the displays: the large 12.3" central screen, the largest ever seen in a Maserati, another 8.8" display for the extra controls and a third for the passengers in the rear seats.

The in-car experience is managed from the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) Multimedia system, from the state-of-the-art infotainment and from Maserati Connect.

The in-car sound is pushed to the absolute limits of enjoyment by an all-round sound experience, ensured by the typical Maserati roar and the immersive Sonus faber 3D sound system. The Sonus faber system - as standard at Premium level - includes 14 speakers, or 21 speakers on demand at High Premium level.

Every journey is transformed into a unique adventure that combines dynamic comfort and an unforgettable driving experience, made possible by the extraordinary handling provided by the new, 100% Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control Module (VDCM) system and the 360&#deg; control it offers over the car. The option of complete control translates into a clear distinction between the various DRIVE MODES: COMFORT, GT, SPORT, CORSA (Trofeo only) and OFF-ROAD.

For Grecale's World Premiere - a special digital event on the brand's website (houseof.maserati.com) - Matilda De Angelis and Alessandro Borghi - Brand Ambassadors and internationally renowned Italian actors - were selected to embody and explain how the new model represents the everyday exceptional. Also in attendance was the Italian artist Dardust, with an exclusive backing track to part of the digital event.

The engineers at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena have worked directly with Dardust to design the in-car sound. A joint effort that has taken shape in a transfer between technology and sound design, to customise the "chimes" - the sound alerts received by the user as part of the extraordinary driving experience aboard Grecale.

75 years of Gran Turismo Maserati celebrates the A6 1500
 

Modena, 14 March 2022 - Gran Turismo is a way of life: a type of high-performance car, suitable for long distances and comfortable journeys.

It all began 75 years ago with the Maserati A6 1500, a model with a revolutionary spirit, the forerunner of a class of car that had never been seen before. It would go on to influence the automotive landscape all over the world, and successive generations of Maserati road cars.

In March 1947, the Geneva Motor Show witnessed the launch of the first Gran Turismo in history: the Tipo A6 (taking its name from the project), better known as the A6 1500 Gran Turismo.c Accorded an enthusiastic welcome by professionals and the public, the Tipo A6 represented the first step in a story in which Maserati has revamped the technology and design. The brand has held true to its hallmarks of elegance and high performance, ubiquitous in every model in the range and continuing in the next generation of the GranTurismo, the Trident brand#39;s first 100% electric car, due to be launched onto the market in 2023.

The history of the A6 1500 dates back to even earlier than 1947.

It actually goes all the way back to 1941 and the design of a sedan with a fixed head engine and twin camshaft, which had to be a close descendant of the 6CM#39;s, if of course revisited with Gran Turismo in mind. The upshot was an outstanding engine with a maximum output of 65 hp, with its single Weber 36DCR carburettor giving the car a top speed of 150 km/h.

The project was named A6, A for #39;Alfieri#39;, 6 for the number of cylinders.

It also featured independent wheel front suspension, with oscillating trapeziums and coil springs, rigid beam with leaf springs in the rear, hydraulically controlled brakes and disc wheels (spoked on request), with a 3.5#34; channel, 16#34; in diameter, and 5.50-16 tyres.

Intended for the Geneva Motor Show, the first model was produced in February 1947 by the Pininfarina bodyshop, bearing its characteristic mechanically operated retractable inside headlights. However, the clearest innovation from the past was its tubular chassis with circular cross-section components, to adopt some of the most fashionable trends at the time.

Not only was it the retractable headlights and chassis that would attract the attention of the public in Geneva, but also the plexiglass sunroof and a bonnet that could be raised from both sides or removed.

Resounding compliments and awards quickly led to the decision to give the green light to production, albeit with certain changes from the prototype. These included the restoration of more conventional lights, framed in chrome plating. The Extra Lusso version also featured a new, more modern grille and larger side windows.

Production of the A6 1500 Gran Turismo continued until 1950, with a cosmetic update taking place in 1948. Pininfarina would also make further changes to the bodywork: the embossed trim was removed from the front fenders, and two rear seats were added to the cabin.

Despite the relatively limited number of units produced, 58 over its 4 years, the A6 1500 was a milestone in Maserati history. At that point, the brand began to establish itself as a producer of tailor-made, high-quality road cars, with sport in its DNA. The glorious Pininfarina-designed bodywork would then go on to inspire successive generations of Maserati cars: a high-class, timeless design that continues to resound to this day in the current range, and will take the brand forward into the future. While the A6 1500 represented the beginning of the Maserati epic of road cars, like passing the baton, the new GranTurismo will mark the brand#39;s entry into the world of Full-Electric with Folgore, and will light the fuse of a new, innovative energy.

The Maserati Boomerang turns 50.
 

Modena, 9 March 2022 - A dream car, an extreme, futuristic, almost irrational, definitely beautiful model capable of remaining imprinted on the memory of every single fan: half a century has passed since 9 March 1972, when the Maserati Boomerang made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. It was a concept created by the renowned hand of Giorgetto Giugiaro and produced by Italdesign.

Maserati Boomerang - a mockup of which made a fleeting appearance at the 1971 Turin Motor Show: only one model was ever made, which would be presented at the Swiss show in 1972 as a registered vehicle that ran perfectly. The base used by Italdesign (chassis and complete mechanics) was a Maserati Bora, with a central eight-cylinder rear engine laid out at 90° that delivered 4,719 cc. It could unleash 310 hp, bringing it close to a top speed of almost 300 km/h. The rear-wheel drive had a five-speed gearbox.
 

Maserati Boomerang
 

The two-seater sports coupé never went into production. Instead, it left behind a stylistic legacy that continued to live on not only in Giugiaro's later creations, but also in other projects, serving as inspiration for various other automakers in Europe and the United States.

The originality of the Boomerang from an aesthetic point of view was demonstrated in its wedge shape and in its bold, clear lines, which conveyed an image of penetration, power and speed.

The model was designed along a horizontal line that divided the car in two, with a sloping windscreen and a panoramic sunroof. The original windows, especially on the two doors, were interspersed with a strip of metal. The retractable square headlamps stood out in the front, alongside the horizontal lights in the rear.

It was extremely modern in terms of its interior, where the dashboard instruments were built into the spokeless steering wheel and the seats were positioned very low..

The only specimen of the Boomerang ever produced also made other appearances in international competitions. It would change hands between various owners, ended up featuring in a number of auctions, and was even used in commercials.

Maserati Boomerang, considered by many to be a genuine work of art, was revolutionary and managed to influence the designs of successive cars. It continued the tradition of Maserati as a brand capable of creating unique automotive concepts, iconic and avant-garde cars that acted as pioneers of technology and style.

Now more than ever, Maserati is unique for its design and innovative by nature, with the MC20 super sports car, the new Grecale SUV and the Nettuno engine, a patented synonym for technological revolution.

Maserati passion on the tennis courts of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters
 

Modena, 10 February 2022 - Drive towards the passion to compete and win: these are the values that have always guided Maserati. These same values will travel aboard the Brand's models at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters 2022.
 

The magnificent Maserati MC20
 

The sponsorship agreement between Maserati and the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters will enhance the account of the Brand's values to an international audience, at one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments on the circuit, an event internationally acknowledged as a benchmark for elegance in pure tennis style.

The Trident brand reinterprets the values of passion and sportiness by means of technological innovation and unique design: victories, trophies and the desire to compete to win comprise the underlying principles of the event.

These same values guided the Maserati brothers over 107 years ago; they are now renewed on roads all over the world and on the clay courts in Monte Carlo.

Maserati will be the sponsor of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, the first European tournament in the ATP Tour Masters 1000 series. This year's edition will be held from 9 to 17 April, with the elite in world tennis taking part.

MC Edition: the new special series to celebrate racing as the beating heart of Maserati
 

Modena, 2 February 2022 - MC stands for Maserati Corse: a sporty nature, fostered on the track for everyday competition. The new MC Edition celebrates Maserati's uncompromising performance and racing spirit.

Victories, trophies, legendary cars and drivers: the world of racing immediately comes to mind when thinking of the Trident Brand, here paying tribute to its glorious history.

The focus is on the versions equipped with a V8* engine to highlight the concept of "uncompromising driving pleasure": the most powerful Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte become the stars of a new edition with a captivating aesthetic.

MC Edition epitomises performance, orientation towards victory and bold driving pleasure, echoing a story that began almost 96 years ago when the Tipo 26 - the first model to bear the Trident on the bonnet - won the 1,500 cc class at the Targa Florio with Alfieri Maserati at the wheel.

The same racing feeling can now be found in this specific edition, available on the Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte in two exclusive colours: Giallo Corse and Blu Vittoria.
 

MC Edition Quattroporte - Blu Vittoria
MC Edition Levante - Blu Vittoria
MC Edition Ghibli - Blu Vittoria
 

The exterior clearly recalls the Brand's roots, with its exclusive colours and powerful sporty character.

Yellow and blue are the colours of Modena, the city that symbolises the Motor Valley and is the home of Maserati.

Giallo Corse is a three-layer yellow colour with blue mica interfering with the light in a highly sophisticated manner, for a sporty and advanced look. Conversely, Blu Vittoria is a matte three-layer blue. Extremely deep, impactful, new and contemporary, it has a notably tangible effect.
 

MC Edition Ghibli - Giallo Corse

To complement the exterior, the MC Edition range features distinctive details in Piano Black and a specific badge on the rear fender and B-pillar. The Levante MC Edition has 22" wheels, with 21" rims on the Ghibli and Quattroporte. The gloss black finish of the wheel rims and blue brake calipers complete the look.

The specs of the special series are completed with an electronic sunroof, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system and Driver Assistance package.

The MC Edition's unique link with racing spirit and Modena is also evident in the interior features, including components in blue carbon fibre in the cabin. The yellow and blue stitching on the seats across the natural Nero Pienofiore black leather is juxtaposed with denim accents. The headrest is embellished with the MC Edition logo and a dedicated badge takes over the centre of the console.

Unprecedented performance and driving pleasure require an uncompromising visual impact: taking Maserati’s roots as a starting point, MC Edition creates a perfect "racing style" and celebrates the power rooted in the beating heart of racing and the DNA devoted to the competitions typical of the Motor Valley.

The new MC Edition is available in EMEA, APAC and China from February 2022.

Modena, 26 January 2022 - Testing continues on the Grecale prototypes, this time in the cold of the Swedish glades where they have delivered their maximum power in extreme conditions and on very low grip surfaces.
 

Snow and ice can't stop the Grecale's energy
Snow and ice can't stop the Grecale's energy
 

Not even snow and ice can hinder the Grecale's energy: during the mission the prototypes were tested to fine-tune their start-up and driveability at extreme temperatures, to check the vehicle dynamics on mixed surfaces of tarmac, snow and ice, and to maintain in-car comfort in all weather conditions, varying from a few degrees above zero to as low as -30ºC in Lapland.

Tests were also carried out to fine-tune the car's traction, understeer and oversteer in different drive modes and with varying sizes and types of wheels, to specifically characterise each of the driving modes on offer.
 

Snow and ice can't stop the Grecale's energy

Even in extreme conditions, the Grecale extols its exceptional soul on low grip handling tracks, completing high-performance laps on various circuits, from steering pads to more demanding routes featuring corners, slopes, long straights and drops, on snowy or icy surfaces.

Grecale is the everyday exceptional even in freezing temperatures on expanses of snow as far as the eye can see.

Ruoteclassiche - July 2021
 

Dear Friends, You might want to try and get hold of a copy of the July 2021 edition of the Italian classic car magazine Ruoteclassiche. It's devoted entirely to Maserati and particularly their value in today's market.

We all know how much the earlier pre-1982 Maseratis have risen in value, but this magazine concentrates on the later cars from 1992, showing the increase in their value and their projection to 2024. All very interesting, and some of you will be pleasantly surprised by their valuations. As the owner of a 1994 Ghibli MY94, I certainly was !!!

Maserati Multi70 crosses the finish line first in the RORC Transatlantic Race
 

After a tough duel in the Atlantic, Giovanni Soldini's team caught and overtook their rivals Argo and PowerPlay and closed the race with a real time of 6 days 18 hours 51 minutes 41 seconds.
 

Modena, January 17th, 2022 - At 01:51:41 local time (05:51:41 UTC, 06:51:41 Italian time), Maserati Multi70 was the first to cross the finish line of the 8th edition of the RORC Transatlantic Race, organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club in collaboration with Yacht Club de France.

Skipper Giovanni Soldini sailed together with Vittorio Bissaro, Oliver Herrera Perez, Thomas Joffrin, Francesco Pedol and Matteo Soldini, in a wild ride across the Atlantic from Lanzarote to Grenada (2995 nautical miles), which saw the crew finish with a real time of 6 days, 18 hours, 51 minutes and 41 seconds. At the end of the competition, the trimaran put in 3476.5 real miles with an average speed of 21.4 knots. The times will be ratified by the race organization in the next few hours.

In second place, some distance behind: Peter Cunningham's PowerPlay skippered by Ned Collier Wakefield, which starred on board british sailors Giles Scott (tactician for Ineos Team UK in the America's Cup and winner of two Olympic gold medals in the Finn class) and Miles Seddon (who set the record on this route with Phaedo3 in 2015). Third on the line: Jason Carroll's Argo skippered by Brian Thompson.

"It was a breathtaking race! Our crew gave their all and Maserati Multi70 really made the difference." Soldini rejoiced: "I am very satisfied. The result of the work of these years is there for all to see. It has been a very long process of research and development: through records, round the world and competitions we have continued to look for solutions and the boat has gradually reached a maturity that allows it to fly stably and safely with a performance that is clearly superior - at least in these conditions - to that of its rivals who have been following the same path for years and use the latest generation of foils. The aerodynamic and kinetic progress made over the last year, thanks to the contribution of the Maserati Innovation Lab engineers and designer Guillaume Verdier, is evident".

This edition of the regatta counted on the participation of 32 boats, from more than 22 countries. Maserati Multi70 and its competitors set off on 8 January at 11:00 UTC / local time (12:00 in Italy) from Puerto Calero, Lanzarote, in an easterly wind.

For Giovanni Soldini and the entire team of Maserati Multi70, the trans-oceanic race marks the beginning of a new season of great technical and sporting challenges and programs to safeguard the Oceans.

In conjunction with a competitive program that aims to bring to full maturity the potential of the multihull in ocean foiling, Giovanni Soldini joins the Ocean Literacy program, promoted by UNESCO through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) and aimed at increasing everyone's awareness and knowledge about the sea (oceanliteracy.unesco.org).

The United Nations declared 2021/2030 the Decade of Marine Sciences for Sustainable Development: a call for mobilization addressed to the scientific community, governments, the private sector and civil society to put energy, research and technological innovation at the service of concrete results in protecting the health of the oceans.

In line with these objectives, in the spring the trimaran will also be transformed into an oceanographic laboratory, with the installation of a system capable of constantly analyzing the water in order to measure the amount of CO² present on the surface and make the data collected available to the scientific community.

In parallel, the collaboration with Maserati, the main sponsor that not only gives its name to the boat, but also collaborates with Giovanni Soldini in the process of transferring technological know-how applied to the "laboratory boat", continues. The engineers of the Maserati Innovation Lab, in collaboration with Soldini and his team, constantly analyze the data collected during the navigations in order to study and develop systems capable of optimizing the trimaran's performance.

Technological innovation, uncompromising performance, the desire to compete and win: this is what unites the House of the Trident and Maserati Multi70.

MASERATI: BACK TO RACING
 

The First Italian Brand to compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from 2023
 

Modena, January 11th 2022 - Maserati today announces the first step in its motorsport strategy and will make its debut in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in 2023.

With motorsport in its genes and rooted in the spirit of pure competition, Maserati is the first Italian brand to compete in Formula E. The return to the track renews the racing spirit in Maserati's DNA.
 

Maserati back to racing

 and Alejandro Agag Founder Chairman Formula E

The combination of Maserati's unrivalled racing heritage - a brand intrinsically linked with high-performance, and its innovative attitude towards electrification - aligns perfectly with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the world's first all-electric road-racing motorsport series.

Maserati's commitment to electric mobility is powered by a lightning surge of new energy, now accelerating to run at top speed with Folgore, the full electric range. All new Maserati models will also be available in 100% electric solutions including Maserati Grecale, Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio and the Maserati MC20 super sportscar.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship provides Maserati with a perfect platform to showcase the unprecedented brand racing heritage and Folgore in an environment where high performance and innovation powerfully co-exist.

Maserati will debut on the grid from Season 9 with the new Gen3, the fastest, lightest, most powerful Formula E racing car ever. The Gen3 is the world's most efficient racing car featuring a series of industry-leading design, production and technological innovations.

Since inception, Formula E's dramatic racing on the streets of the world's most iconic cities including New York, Monaco, Berlin, Mexico City, London and Rome has led to electric cars exported around the world today going further on every charge through increases in energy efficiency, enhancements in battery range and advances in powertrain development.

Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO, commented: "We are very proud to be back where we belong as protagonists in the world of racing. We are powered by passion and innovative by nature. We have a long history of world-class excellence in competition and we are ready to drive performance in the future." Grasso continued: "In the race for more performance, luxury, and innovation, Folgore is irresistible and it is the purest expression of Maserati. That's why we decided to go back to racing in the FIA Formula E World Championship, meeting our customers in the city centers of the world, taking the Trident forward into the future."

Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP, STELLANTIS Motorsport, added: "It is a great pleasure for STELLANTIS Motorsport to play a part in getting Maserati back in the Race. Beyond this piece of history, Maserati Formula E will be our technological laboratory to accelerate the development of high-efficiency electrified powertrains and intelligent software for our road sports cars. Formula E is the perfect Championship for this purpose and we are very proud to be the first Italian brand to join in.".

Alejandro Agag, Founder & Chairman, Formula E, said: "We are proud to welcome Maserati to their new home in world-class motorsport. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is the pinnacle of electric racing. It provides the perfect environment for the most dynamic and innovative high-performance car brands to showcase their technological capabilities alongside their sporting ambitions."

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA President: "I am delighted to welcome Maserati to Formula E for Season 9. For such an iconic manufacturer with a tremendously proud and successful heritage in motor sport to pledge its commitment to the series is testament to the overwhelming faith in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship's future as we prepare to usher in the next era. The new Gen3 single-seater will represent the pinnacle of sustainability, technology and performance."

Maserati was born on the track from audacity, first of the Maserati brothers, then of its drivers.

Its racing debut was 96 years ago. The first racing car to bear the Trident logo on the bonnet was the Tipo 26, which debuted at the Targa Florio in 1926, winning first place in the class up to 1.5 L, with Alfieri Maserati at the wheel.

Juan Manuel Fangio and the Tipo 250F
 

Thirty-one years later, Juan Manuel Fangio won the F1 World Championship with Maserati in 1957.

The last time Maserati was seen in a single seater was with Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix, on board of a 250F.

Its very last appearance in racing was with the unprecedented MC12, which won 22 races (including 3 victories in the 24 Hours of Spa) and 14 Championship titles across Constructors' Championships, Drivers' Championships and Teams' Championships in the FIA GT, from 2004 to 2010.

MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham: a love letter for the Magic City of Miami
 

Modena, December 15th 2021 - A letter written to the magical city of Miami: this is how MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham was born. The ambassador of the Italian automotive brand becomes a designer with the help of the Maserati Centro Stile. Thanks to this union, the passion of the British champion for his second home city takes shape in a customized car that exemplifies the concepts of performance and sportiness: the MC20.

This project is part of Maserati's Fuoriserie customization program, which in its various styles allows customers to create their tailor-made Maserati. The car, intended as a symbol of true luxury in the third millennium, shows the world its unique nature and personal character. Maserati Fuoriserie is a blank canvas and the House of the Trident truly offers an array instruments to create with. The rest is left to the clients taste and inspiration, giving them the opportunity to set their own trends and express their personality.

After a personalized and collaborative design process, Beckham and the designers of the Maserati Centro Stile created the MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham. This car translates true passion into a carbon fiber monocoque, entirely Made in Italy, and powered by a patented V6 petrol engine derived from Formula 1 technologies.

In this story, the starting point is Miami, the home of Beckham's US soccer club, while the end result is black and pink, a chromatic dichotomy, as well as the interplay between glossy and matt surfaces. The team colors are, black and pink, and the uniforms are characterized by contrasting glossy-matt treatments.

Starting from this as an inspiration, the bodywork features a glossy black tone which contrasts with the Trident logos on the grille and on the C-pillar, in black, but with an opaque finish. The Maserati lettering on the rear is also opaque, while the MC20 badge on the door is pastel pink, as are the Brembo brake calipers.

The interior, in leather and Alcantara, is black with contrast-stitching in pink. The backrests, in Alcantara, are worked with a tone-on-tone laser engraving method and the headrest features a three-dimensional pastel pink embroidery.

Finally, in the center tunnel between the two seats, a personalized nameplate with a glossy-matte effect: at the top, next to the Trident, the Maserati Fuoriserie lettering is pastel pink, at the bottom the italics "For David" appears with an aluminum effect.

Klaus Busse, Head of Maserati Design, commented: "As car designers, our mission is to offer a holistic experience. This value guides our Brand's stylistic research, making each Maserati uniquely recognizable. Our customization program is another example of our brand's goal to create singular experiences for our customers: Maserati Fuoriserie is a blank canvas, on which Maserati clients can write their own stories and unleash their creativity, making their dreams come true. Designing this special edition MC20 with David, as with all our Fuoriserie projects, is also an ode to the Brand's past, taking us back to a time when every car was hand-built to the client's requests, giving life to a one-off, a true "fuoriserie."

David Beckham said: "I have always been a car enthusiast, so to be part of designing and creating my MC20 through the Fuoriserie customisation programme has been an amazing experience. Cars are about individual taste whether it's the model, colour or small personal details on the inside. It has been incredible to collaborate with the Maserati team and designers to create this one-off car that is inspired by my second home, Miami and my football club there. It is a joy to be behind the wheel."

Miami is a land of magical nights and delicate sunsets. MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham seems designed to cross this subtle line between day and night, between pink, the color that greets and bids a farewell with each sunset, and black, that rocks us into the realm of dreams: a realm in which space and time become relative concepts, and you can express yourself through a completely customized car.

MASERATI CERTIFICATION OF AUTHENTICITY:
the new Maserati Classiche programme begins
 

Modena, 14 December 2021. Maserati Classiche has officially begun, following the announcement made last year at the "MMXX: Time to be Audacious" event which inaugurated the brand's new era. The first road car to receive the Maserati certification of authenticity is a Mistral 3700.
 

Maserati Classiche programme begins
 

Maserati Classiche is the department that protects and promotes the preservation and originality of the company's automotive heritage. An exclusive assistance service - dedicated to the Brand's customers and collectors - now also includes a process to certify authenticity.

The first road car certified by the Maserati Classiche program is a Mistral 3700, built in March 1969, with the silver Auteuil livery.

This Maserati Mistral received a certificate of originality after a thorough verification of the car (with over 300 checks made), matched against all the documents held by the Historical Archive.

The Certification process is guaranteed by a committee of experts and is offered for Maserati cars from more than 20 years ago plus the special series, including those from the recent past such as the MC12 and the Quattroporte limited editions. Also included in the programme is a maintenance service for in-house minor repairs and routine maintenance, as well as an on-demand Car Detailing service.

Alongside Collectors and Customers, the programme provides a service to support the preservation of the cars and the restoration of every detail to match the original. A dedicated service plan offers owners of Classiche, Youngtimer and Speciali cars follow-up in the various stages of the maintenance or restoration work done.

The next step in the Classiche Programme consists of a series of major assistance services, scheduled for 2022 and to be taken care of by Maserati itself, with the inclusion of the "Classiche" spare parts management and both assistance and support with restoration.

Maserati Classiche Capsule Collection
 

The primary tasks of Maserati Classiche include the manufacture of spare parts no longer available on the market, following indications taken from the original designs. The process uses the best technology there is to improve the reliability and functionality of the components, with no changes to their aesthetic appearance.

On the Maserati Classiche website, you can book your request for Maserati Certification of Authenticity and discover all the services and details of the programme, made especially for Trident-brand enthusiasts.

In addition, to accompany the launch of the Maserati Classiche programme, a new Capsule Collection is also available, for fans of the Brand's heritage. The collection combines style with tradition and includes garments for men, women and "mini-me" versions. The design pays attention to the smallest details, and to customisations that reflect the hallmarks and traditional colours of Maserati Classiche.

Innovative by nature, Maserati looks to the future yet never forgets its DNA of over 100 years of history, packed with sporting successes and cars that still make you dream today.

MASERATI:
a new era for sales. The Maserati OTO Retail project kicks off.
 

Modena, 29 November 2021 ̵ Maserati is inaugurating a new era for sales by integrating virtual and traditional experiences in the purchase process, resulting in the OTO Retail project ('OTO' stands for "online to offline", and vice versa).
 

The Maserati OTO Retail project kicks off
 

OTO Retail is a new commercial proposal in close collaboration with dealerships, which offers an innovative customer experience.

The project adds digital tools to support sales, maintains the centrality of dealerships' role and enables customers to personalise their purchase experience by deciding which aspects should be worked on in a Maserati showroom and which others can be completed digitally.

Bernard Loire, Chief Commercial Officer at Maserati, noted: "The focus at Maserati is always on the customer, continuing the brand's history of innovation and tradition, quality and exclusivity. We have therefore revamped our sales processes to arrive at an evolution of the customer journey."

"The Brand wants to meet and exceed the expectations of customers, who will now be able to take advantage of an Omni-Channel experience", Loire continued. "We believe that this type of offer - utilising the Maserati Fuoriserie programme to customise our cars - is the right response to the wishes of the new luxury consumer".

The Omni-Channel approach and online customer journeys have changed purchasing behaviour, especially in the luxury segment where digital services have become key elements.

However, e-Commerce is only one part of the Maserati response.

The boundaries between online shopping and physical points of sale are blurring to a greater and greater extent: Maserati is ready with a new retail model, where the new customer journey is seamlessly integrated, regardless of the customer's location.

The digital approach is not only at home in front of a computer screen, but is also coming into physical stores more and more. On the one hand, virtual assistants are offering increasingly complete online services; on the other, physical sales space is being extended and enhanced with services, to reach customers anywhere.
 

The Maserati OTO Retail project kicks off

Maserati stores around the world will be gradually adopting this new design, starting next year with newly developed showrooms in Milan and Shanghai.

The personalisation of the customer journey is also becoming even more exclusive, with the option to sign up for the Maserati Fuoriserie programme, an integral part of the brand's new retail concept. Launched in 2020, the customisation programme is designed to meet luxury consumers' requirements, and makes each Maserati the perfect expression of their personal taste.

OTO Retail has recently been launched as a pilot project in the North American market.

Using this service, the Trident brand's customers can take advantage of a series of digital touch points. These include "My Maserati Showroom" to make an online booking for your car, "My Maserati Expert" to request details or information, "Remote Test Drive" and "Multi-channel Service Booking".

Customers can now configure and book their Maserati online, then complete the transaction at their chosen dealership.

THE MASERATI GHIBLI:
 

A powerful car named for a powerful wind celebrates 55 years
 

Modena, 3 November 2021 ̵ Maserati is celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Ghibli. On 3 November 1966, the Maserati Ghibli made its debut on the world stage, at the Ghia stand at the Turin Motor Show. A new interpretation of the concept of a gran turismo car, the two̵seater coupé was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The name recalled a wind, a tradition that continues to this day with the Grecale, part of the Trident brand's new era.
 

The 1966 Maserati Ghibli Coup´
The 1966 Maserati Ghibli Coup´
 

The Ghibli is a powerful, warm wind in North Africa that carries with it a great deal of sand; the decision to take its name was no coincidence, given the car's speed and the 'warmth' of its technical and stylistic specifications.

In its presentation of the Ghibli, Maserati proposed a car with a sporty yet unostentatious impression: the engine was newly designed, based on the experience of the well̵known 8̵cylinder used in the Mexico. It could deliver an output of 330 hp in the 4,700̵cc version, and was followed by an even more powerful 4,900̵cc version.

To leave more room for style by lowering the height of the hood, the engine was equipped with a dry sump ̵ a solution used solely in racing, and was mounted on the tubular chassis, very low down. This solution gave the car its typically assertive and slender appearance, one of the cornerstones of its success.
 

The 1966 Maserati Ghibli Coup´

The design was entrusted to Ghia, which then had Giorgetto Giugiaro on its creative design team. The most significant design cue ̵ the marker of a decisive change from the Ghibli's predecessors ̵ was the integration of the volumes: there was no distinction between the car's body and the passenger compartment; they were neither separate nor overlapping, rather they were joined together as a single surface. While the lines were geometric and taut, Giugiaro's hand ensured that the sense of stiffness could be smoothed out.

The most obvious new stylistic feature was the front, definitely an original for Maserati: the headlights were retractable and the very slim grille occupied the car's entire front. The Trident logo remained in the middle, albeit smaller than before.

The side view enhanced the slender line of the Ghibli: a long, low bonnet, a heavily inclined windscreen, perfect proportions with no superfluous decoration. The triangular rear pillar took on its own identity, becoming an iconic component later taken up in other successful models from the Trident brand.
 

The 1966 Maserati Ghibli Coup´
The 1966 Maserati Ghibli Coup´
 

The changes from the past could also be seen in the conception of the two̵seater interior, where the instruments were built into an overall design that prevailed over the individual components.

The result was a gran turismo car that remained true to the exclusive, luxury style, power and comfort ̵ yet with an over̵arching theme of racing ̵ for which Maserati cars have always stood out.

After it was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show on 3 November 1966, the Ghibli was launched onto the market in 1967. The following year, its interior was restyled and could also be fitted on demand with automatic transmission, as well as a 5̵speed manual gearbox. From 1969, the Spyder version also became available, which could be equipped with a hard top; one year later, both models were also offered with a 4,900̵cc engine, taking the name Ghibli SS. In this configuration, the car further strengthened its solid market position.

In all, between 1967 and 1972, 128 Ghibli Spyder and over 1,200 Ghibli coupé models were produced: one was purchased by Henry Ford (the founder's grandson), who would place it in the lobby of the Ford Product Development Center in Detroit, as an example to follow and a source of inspiration.

An inspiration that has never ceased at the Trident brand: the Ghibli has always been considered an iconic car. In 2013, Maserati decided to unveil a new model, bringing back the Ghibli name for a sports sedan and thus starting another success story.

FRAGMENT MEETS MASERATI
 

Maserati and Hiroshi Fujiwara present their capsule collection
 

Modena, 25th October 2021 ̵ The partnership between Maserati and the Pioneer of Streetwear, Hiroshi Fujiwara kicked off last June with the global launch in Tokyo of Maserati meets Fragment.

Stars of the launch: Operanera and Operabianca, two contrasting versions of a Special Edition of Maserati's Ghibli re-imagined by Fragment's Creative director Hiroshi Fujiwara under the auspices of Maserati's high-end personalisation program Fuoriserie.

This fall, the scripts are flipped with the launch of Fragment meets Maserati, a limited edition capsule collection of streetwear staples co-created by Fujiwara and Maserati with a visionary spirit that reshapes the conventions of pop culture. Two styles of hoodies, oversized t-shirts and a baseball cap emblazoned with the signifiers of these two iconic brands.

In his continuous quest as a cultural disrupter, the global godfather of street wear further develops his collaboration with the house of the Trident, merging his sensitivity to contemporary street culture with Maserati's boldness towards a new era.

The capsule brings together Fujiwara's rebellious style and Maserati's audacious spirit. Two iconic brands unafraid of being different, maverick and both relentlessly driven to challenge the status quo.

The Fragment meets Maserati capsule collection is available worldwide at Maserati Store and on Hypebeast's e-commerce platform www.hbx.com.

MASERATI MEETS ALAJMO
 

Levante Trofeo Fuoriserie Edition for Chef Alajmo:
the tradition of Italian excellence illuminated by the brightness of the future
 

Modena, 21st October 2021 ̵ "Made in Italy" is a value that unites Maserati and Chef Massimiliano Alajmo. From deep-rooted traditions, to re-writing the rules as they race towards the future, these two icons of Italian culture embody the courage it takes to be a maverick, and give shape and movement to this spirit with the Levante Trofeo Fuoriserie Edition for Alajmo.
 

Maserati meets Alajmo
Maserati meets Alajmo
 

Massimiliano Alajmo, the youngest chef in the world to receive three Michelin stars, joins forces with the House of the Trident, in creating an exclusive vehicle under the guidance of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme. As we move forward in the third millennium the purest expression of luxury is the possibility to simply be yourself: a car becomes an extension of our unique identity. Trendsetters give shape to their self-expression combining elements from nature with the know-how learned over time. This methodology, shared by Maserati and Alajmo, is now available to those audacious enough to express their personality by entering into the world of Maserati Fuoriserie.
 

Maserati meets Alajmo
Maserati meets Alajmo
 

This customisation programme, presented last September by Maserati, offers two different customisation routes. To use a culinary metaphor: Maserati Fuoriserie offers clients the choice of an empty plate on which they can create a singular, unrepeatable, one-off car; or, if they prefer, a menu of ingredients to choose from - including materials, colours and details - to be mixed and matched to suit their taste. The final recipe gives shape to the client's personal creativity, offering them the choice from 23 exterior colours, ten liveries, five dreamlines, five colours for brake calipers, three types of wheel finishes, five colours of Fuoriserie stitching, and three colours of leather, with the choice of monochrome or bi-colour seats.
 

Maserati meets Alajmo
Maserati meets Alajmo
 

The Levante Trofeo Fuoriserie for Alajmo sports the colours of the chef's logo: black for exteriors and gold for interiors. For Alajmo gold is the maximum expression of brightness, in fact in the kitchen, gold has always been associated with saffron, which with its colour, texture and taste, recalls the warmth and vital energy of the sun, bringing the diner one-step closer to it. Fully designed and engineered in Italy, like all Maseratis, this custom Maserati Fuoriserie edition is characterized by soft gold coloured interiors in Pale Terracotta, with contrasting grey stitching and matching embroidered Trofeo Trident stitching on the headrests. The exteriors, on the other hand, are in Nero Luce, a glossy black finish, accentuated with dreamlines in Mistic Gold, and 22-inch Orione wheel rims with black brake calipers.

According to Chef Alajmo, when adherence to the rules lead us away from our original goals and ideas, we must break these rules so to reaffirm the true essence of what we are doing, be it cooking, or automotive engineering.

For Massimiliano Alajmo, doing away with the tablecloth, eating with our hands and 'playing elegantly' with food helps us regain a long-lost appreciation for the poetic beauty of sharing a meal with others. In the same way, Maserati Fuoriserie allows its clients to regain a long-lost passion: infinite beauty of driving, exploring our most authentic self and discovering new roads.

THERE'S NO STOPPING THE ENERGY OF MASERATI GRECALE
 

Modena, 18 October 2021 ̵ The Global Premiere of Grecale, originally scheduled for November 16th of this year, has been postponed to spring 2022 in view of the background problems that have caused interruptions in the supply chains for the key components necessary to complete the car's production process.

In particular, due to the shortage of semiconductors, the quantity of production would not allow us to respond properly to the expected global demand. In fact, the new Grecale features ground-breaking contents, particularly in the connectivity and human-machine interface areas.

The Trident is synonymous with innovation, passion and unique style. Driven by these values, Maserati is still hard at work in spite of the component supply problems hitting the entire transportation industy, and is determined to guarantee the continuity of its business.

Maserati is a brand dedicated to growth, and this will never change. The Grecale energy is not stopping: stay tuned from November 16th onwards.

MASERATI MEXICO
THE 55th ANNIVERSARY OF A PURE ITALIAN STYLE ICON
 

Modena, 6 October 2021 ̵ The 6th October in 1966 saw the opening of the 53rd edition of the "Mondial de l'automobile de Paris", where the new Maserati Mexico ̵ considered one of the finest Italian GT cars of all time ̵ made its debut.
 

1961 Maserati Mexico
 

The Mexico, designed by Vignale, was an exquisite car with sleek and immaculate lines: it was an elegant 2+2 coupé in pure Maserati style, but with a powerful sporty heart. In fact, underneath its bonnet it concealed the road version of the racing engine derived from the 450 S.

It was the third Maserati model to use this propulsion unit, after the Quattroporte and the 5000 GT.
 

Maserati Mexico Mondiale de l&;39;automobile de Paris
Maserati Mexico Mondiale de l&;39;automobile de Paris
 

Among the hypotheses on how this car came to be named as the Central American country, it is said that a major Mexican customer had purchased a 5000 GT Allemano which formerly belonged to Mexican President Adolfo López Mateos in 1961, and brought it to Modena to be repaired after an accident. While visiting the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant, the customer was apparently so impressed by the Vignale-designed prototype that he absolutely insisted on buying it, to the point where the bodywork was transferred to the chassis of his 5000 GT. This series of coincidences is said to have led to the choice of the name "Mexico" for the future model.
 

Maserati Mexico Mondiale de l&;39;automobile de Paris

>Right from its launch, the car was equipped with a 4.2 L V8 of 260 HP and a top speed of 240 km/h and a 4.7 L V8 of 290 HP, able to propel it to a top speed of 255 km/h.

The Maserati Mexico impressed with both style and equipment, which included ̵ as standard ̵ leather seats, electric windows, wooden dashboard, air̵conditioning and servo̵assisted ventilated front disc brakes. Automatic transmission, power steering and radio were available as optionals. The interior was described as "an Italian-style lounge", expressing Italian identity and Maserati's trademark craftsmanship.

Today, just as 55 years ago, Maserati continues to build iconic cars that shape the history of motoring and set benchmarks for the luxury segment. The Mexico represented excellence, design and power, values still found in all Trident models.

MASERATI AT EXPO 2020 DUBAI
 

Exhibits and initiatives with the Trident marque at the Italian Pavilion from 1 October 2021
 

Maserati at Expo 2020 Dubai
 

Dubai, 30 September 2021 ̵ The official opening of Expo 2020 Dubai is taking place on 1 October 2021, and Maserati is a partner of the Italian Pavilion: beauty and sustainable mobility travel on board the Trident's cars.

The co̵operation between Maserati and the Italian Pavilion enriches the storytelling of our country and its wonders for a global audience, and promotes the values of sustainable mobility and development central to the Expo itself. In fact, Maserati is a Brand that is innovative by nature, unique in its style and led by passion, and these same core values provide the main theme at the international exhibition, with the aim of highlighting the excellence of Italian Design and Manufacturing.

From 27 October to 6 November, the exhibition "Maserati: a story of luxury performance supercharged" will take centre stage with a special artistic installation created by the Centro Stile Maserati.

The installation will give a fresh interpretation of the Brand's values, linked to its Italian homeland through technological innovation and its unique design: in the centre, the MC20 supercar, presented as a work of art, with a series of three̵dimensional metal objects. The objects vary in colour, with modulations from natural aluminium through to copper, the keynote shade of Folgore (the Maserati strategy for electrification), evoking the Brand's evolution and its constant focus on the future.

There will also be two showcases on the topic of sustainability, not just of the engine but also of the materials used in the vehicles' development, such as Econyl, and colourful "real material" installations to describe Italian biodiversity.

The Brand's values will be in the spotlight with three specific Digital Talks. Influencers and Storytellers will take part in talks focusing on beauty, the "human touch" and performances.

To further investigate all the many aspects of the "Made in Italy" linking concept, the programme will be completed with a round table discussion on sustainable mobility on Wednesday 3 November.

Official delegates of the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai will travel by Maserati Quattroporte, a classic example of authentic Italian design, which has skillfully combined the virtues of elegance and sportiness.

Modena, September 15th 2021 ̵ The MC20 has received the award for "Product Design of the Year" 2021 from the European Product Design Award. The new Maserati super sports car also was honoured with "Top Design Winner" in Transportation/Auto/Truck/Mobile Home and "Winner" in Transportation/Other Transportation Design categories.

The European Product Design Award is a design competition created to recognize the efforts of talented international product designers. Thousands of design projects from every corner of the globe are vetted and evaluated by the jury panel to select the most aesthetically exciting, functional, and innovative products.

And I think we've achieved our goal with MC20. We are honoured to receive this coveted accolade, which recognises the work of an entire team, who have made a whole̵hearted commitment to this unique project."

MC20, designed by the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, is a mix of elegance and sporting prowess. The super sports car is a genuine masterpiece of style, the first of its kind, and the halo car with which the Brand inaugurated its new Era.

Maserati MC20 is innovative by nature, and every design detail is functional: the butterfly doors, for example, are not only stunningly beautiful, but they also improve the car's ergonomics and enable optimal access to and from the cabin.

The new super sports car represents the pure form of speed, in true Maserati̵style: a work of sculptural engineering previewing the direction of the Brand's aesthetic future. In fact, the focus on performance led to the conception of a car with a distinct personality, refined aerodynamics and unmistakable lines that render it unique.

A car whose superb looks conceal an uncompromisingly sporty soul, with the new 630 hp V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.88 seconds and a top speed over 326 km an hour. The patented engine was conceived, developed, designed and built entirely by Maserati, and uses a pre̵chamber combustion technology derived from Formula 1 engines.

Maserati MC20 super sports car is genuinely a 100% made in Italy car, developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab and built at the historic Modena plant.

MASERATI TO SHOWCASE MC20 AS PART OF INOVATIVE RETAIL EXPERIENCE AT SITU LIVE, WESTFIELD
 

14 September 2021 ̵ Maserati is set to be part of an exciting new retail experience opening at Europe's largest retail destination, Westfield London, in Autumn. Alongside other innovative consumer brands, Maserati will be the sole automotive brand at Situ Live.

Maserati's involvement in Situ Live marks a new approach to both physical as well as automotive retail experiences and has been designed to allow visitors the opportunity to connect in a more personal way than ever before.

Visitors to Maserati at Situ Live will be able to immerse themselves both physically and digitally in the brand at their own pace, alongside other like̵minded lifestyle brands.

Located on the first floor of Westfield in White City, West London, Maserati will launch the marque's retail space at Situ Live with the all̵new MC20 super sports car alongside a space dedicated to Fuoriserie, Maserati's distinctive personalisation programme.

The MC20 is powered by Maserati's own V6 engine, Nettuno, producing 630 HP, reaching 62mph in less than 2.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 200mph. Only making its UK dynamic debut earlier this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, shoppers at Westfield will now be amongst the first to see and interact with the car up close and in the flesh.

Peter Charters, General Manager, Maserati North Europe says: "Being part of Situ Live is a really exciting step in Maserati's retail experience, it complements our existing retail network, and marks a unique way for a car brand to engage with audiences in a shared and immersive way.

Being alongside other like̵minded innovative brands, it felt only right that we should launch at Situ Live with our all̵new MC20 super sports car. Visitors to our highly engaging space will also be able to deep dive into our Fuoriserie personalisation experience, and over time will see our space evolve as we launch new Maserati models."

The MC20 is priced from £190,275 OTR, and is available to order through the Maserati dealer network.

Maserati starred at the 36th edition of the international event for enthusiasts and connoisseurs held at the Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Course at Seaside, California.
 

Modena, 25 August 2021 ̵ The names of the winds are good luck charms for Maserati: in California, George and Bobbie Andreini's 1965 Mistral Spider has won the "Best in Show" class at the Concorso Italiano 2021.

The event also celebrated the 50th birthday of another iconic Maserati model: the Bora, the first road car with mid̵mounted rear engine in the Brand's over a century of history.

It was with Mistral, in 1963, that Maserati began the tradition of naming its cars after famous winds. This was followed by Ghibli, Bora, Merak and Khamsin. Not to mention, in 2016, Levante, the first SUV in the Trident's history. Now, once again, the name of a new model is borne by the wind, as Grecale is to be presented in November.

MASERATIDAY 2021
 

"Hello Enrico,

I hope you and your family are doing well in this crazy time? Fortunately, we share a passion for cars with the trident. This passion makes it easier for us to get through many problems.

And that's why Mathias Landau and I organized the MaseratiDay in Frankfurt (Germany) for the 7th time in August. After the corona-related break in 2020, Maseratisti came to the classic city of Frankfurt on August 1st with over 100 Maseratis. From the 3500 to the new MC 20, models from many eras were represented. It was a pleasure to experience such a meeting again after a long time. Here are some photos that our photographer Alexander Wissgott took.

Best Regards

Werner.
