MASERATI CELEBRATES 100 YEARS


Feature: 100 Years of Maserati, the Italian Luxury Sports Car


Maserati was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1914, the year World War I began, founded by Alfieri Maserati. Once a prestigious marque that battled fiercely on the circuit with rivals like Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, it lives on today as Italy's representative sports car brand. On this centennial milestone, we turn our focus once again to the Maserati automobile.

Great Heroes Who Competed with Maserati
The hit movie "RUSH," set in the F1 world of the 1970s, is still fresh in our memories. Before that era, one great racing driver who supported the golden age of Grand Prix racing is still alive today: the British Sir Stirling Moss. We had the opportunity to interview him at a Maserati centennial event.

Captures the Hearts of Car Enthusiasts
The "Quattroporte," whose name means "four doors" in Italian, has a new latest model. Tatsuya Kuijima test-drove it. He speaks of the spirit of vintage Maseratis felt at "Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este," the historic car festival held in Italy last May. Its lineage, forged in racing, is still strongly inherited by the current models.
