INTRODUCTION

The Maserati
story is one of consistent sporting pedigree. The Trident's
use of performance-oriented technology began with its first
car, the Tipo 26, a stunningly successful racer.
Creative
engineering, both in its racing and road-going cars, has
been part of the marque since it opened its doors 90 years
ago.
The results have helped systematically sweep aside Maserati's competitors.
Two shining examples of this
creative engineering are the transaxle system used during
the 1957 World Championship which made Fangio's car almost
unbeatable, and the incredibly light, compact yet muscular
dry sump engine with cylinder heads equipped with long inlet
tracts that gives the Trident's current models such
exceptional power and torque.
But Maserati's consistency has also extended to its cars'
unique yet understated styling, the luxurious comfort of
sophisticated, quality materials, and the discreet colours
chosen for cars that can be used every day, cars that are as
well loved by women as men.
Last but not least, Maserati has always boasted great
consistency in its models. Its four-door cars have all been
known as Quattroporte, positive proof that exceptional cars
can even make the most everyday names their own.

Then there are the two-door cars: the Coupé models, which have often
been four-seaters, and, of course, the Spyder models.
Eight different variants of these have been
designed in the marque's history. Each one of those eight
has made its mark on their own particular era, thanks to its
huge originality and personality.
There are three Maserati two-door models in the current
range which, offer clients an excellent choice. The Spyder
and the Coupé are both available in Cambiocorsa or manual
six-speed gearbox GT versions, while the more extreme
GranSport comes only with the Cambiocorsa.
The technical and aesthetic solutions that characterise the GranSport have also inspired a wide range of innovations in
the Coupé and Spyder models. Here we unveil the current
range of Maserati two-doors: flawlessly engineered,
authentic high performance thoroughbred sports cars that
turn choice into a passion rather than a chore.
THE CONCEPT -
Technological Excellence: Maserati's common denominator
There is no doubt whatsoever that what makes these wonderful
cars so exceptional is their technical content.
The light, compact V8 engine, transaxle architecture,
Cambiocorsa gearbox, Skyhook suspension system, MSP, and
traction control and braking by CAN (Controlled Area
Network) line are the main features of Trident models
inspired by the very best Italian tradition. |
