Maserati's Centenary × Italian Luxury Sports Cars | Maserati Gallery

Until January 2015, a special exhibition titled "Maserati 100 / A Century of Pure Italian Luxury Sports Cars" was held at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. Many of Maserati's historic models that have colored its 100-year history were on display.

The first generation of Maserati's four-door sedan, the "Quattroporte," meaning "four doors." It was manufactured from 1963 to 1971.
Developed as Maserati's first mass-produced car and introduced in 1957, the "3500GT." Its open-top version is the 3500 Spyder Vignale shown here, designed by Italian car designer Giovanni Michelotti.
The "Boomerang" concept car, unveiled at the Turin Auto Show in 1971. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, it was powered by a V8 engine and only one unit was produced.
The "Tipo 61," developed as a race-only machine. Its chassis, composed of over 200 tubular sections in a complex, cage-like structure, was literally called the Birdcage, achieving high rigidity despite its light weight.
The first generation Quattroporte and the fifth generation Quattroporte, a global hit.
Carlo Maserati is the son of Ettore, the sixth of the Maserati brothers, and is 84 years old this year.
In the 1956 factory, engines were still largely handmade.
Maserati has been based in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena, Italy, since after 1940. The red brick factory is still in use as a factory today.
The Tipo 26B, which increased the engine displacement of the Tipo 26 from 1.5 liters to 2 liters.
A sports car equipped with a 2-liter engine, a Formula 2 racing category machine that existed at the time.
Maserati's first large coupe, marking its debut as a truly mass-produced vehicle. From here, Maserati transformed into a manufacturer specializing in mass-produced sports cars and GTs.
A large coupe based on the 3500GT but equipped with a 5-liter V8; very few units were produced.
This race car was Maserati's weapon upon its return to racing. Its most distinctive feature is the chassis, made from a complex combination of thin steel tubes.
A two-seater coupe with a beautiful Frua body. Engine displacement was expanded to 3500, 3700, and then 4000cc.
Maserati's first four-door, developed with the aim of being the world's fastest sedan. The large body, over 5 meters long, housed a 4.1-liter V8, achieving a remarkable top speed of 231 km/h for its time.
A rear-wheel-drive coupe with a front-mounted V8. Despite its orthodox layout, the body designed by Giugiaro was innovative.
A sharp-looking two-door coupe body designed by Michelotti. It was equipped with an engine exceeding 4 liters.
