Maserati
Maserati was founded in Bologna in 1914 by the Maserati brothers - Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto. The Italian automaker built its early reputation on motorsport performance, securing consecutive victories at the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940 and winning the 1957 Formula 1 World Championship with Juan Manuel Fangio driving the 250F. The brand's trident logo, created by Mario Maserati, was designed after the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore.
Headquartered in Modena since 1940, Maserati expanded from competition cars into luxury road vehicles during the post-war era with models such as the 3500 GT, the Ghibli, and the Quattroporte sedan. Over the decades, ownership shifted through several parent companies - including periods under Citroën, De Tomaso, and Fiat - before the brand was integrated into Stellantis.
Maserati's current lineup features the MC20 mid-engine supercar - powered by the twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine - alongside the GranTurismo grand tourer and the Grecale crossover. Under its Folgore strategy, the company is introducing battery-electric versions across its core vehicle range.
