Maserati

Maserati, a name synonymous with Italian automotive artistry, boasts a rich, if sometimes turbulent, history. Founded in 1914, the marque initially focused on racing, achieving considerable success and establishing a reputation for performance. This racing heritage permeated their early road cars, which were often elegant and powerful, appealing to a discerning clientele.

However, Maserati's ownership has shifted numerous times, impacting its consistency. While models like the 3500 GT and Quattroporte showcased brilliance, financial instability and varying corporate strategies have occasionally led to periods of uneven quality and design. Today, under Stellantis, Maserati continues to strive for a balance between its sporting heritage and modern luxury, though its legacy remains a complex tapestry of triumphs and challenges.
