Maserati At Heart

In this book of over 500 pages Ermanno Cozza, the true historic memory of Maserati, passionately tells a story packed with behind the scenes truths - right up to today - that have never before been published.
He covers half a century of the company's life, which he lived in close contact with the great motor racing champions, ingenious technicians, designers and, naturally, company life as well, of course, as the unforgettable cars. A carefully chosen collection of photographs and other illustrations complete this invaluable book.

"Over 66 years have passed since I walked through the gates of Officine Alfieri Maserati (the Alfieri Maserati Workshops). It was in 1951, and in all that time I can truly say that Maserati took hold of my heart. The factory, the men and the cars have indelibly marked moments in my life.
Today, many people consider me to be the living memory of Maserati and, in that way, take me back to those earlier days.
In this book, I have tried to convey the excitement of living the Maserati legend so that, step by step, I cover the most important moments of my long and extraordinary experience: the excitement of participation, the joy and pain, the cars and the defeats, the ambitions and the professional difficulties.
While I have always enjoyed good health, over the years I have been infected with the Maserati `virus' of which I believe I have been a carrier all this time - and it is a virus of which I never want to be cured", Ermanno Cozza.

Maserati - Panorama illustré des modèles

Alfieri Maserati came from a family of seven brothers who were all car enthusiasts. In 1914, he created the "Società Anonima Officine Alfieri Maserati" in Bologna with his brothers Ettore and Ernesto, responsible for developing racing cars for the Diatto car brand. In 1920, Diatto retired from racing and sold a stock of parts to the Officine Alfieri to create the Maserati Tipo 26, which made history in motor racing with over a hundred victories.
Alfieri died in 1932 following a racing accident. Another of his brothers, Bindo, replaced him at the head of the company. Exclusively focused on racing, financial difficulties arose.

In 1937, the Orsi family bought Maserati. It was not until the Tipo A6 of 1946 that the first production cars appeared. In 1968, Citroën took over from Orsi. Then came De Tomaso in 1975, Chrysler in 1983 and Fiat in 1987. Maseratis were born for competition and throughout their existence have kept these deep genes, combined with luxury and comfort.

With this book illustrated with 300 photos and drawings, the history of Maserati is dissected thanks to an exhaustive, technical and historical cataloguing where all the models are represented.

Maserati - Luxe, sport et prestige

In the world of Italian sports cars, the name Maserati has been shining since long before Ferrari and Lamborghini. However, its history often remains unknown, poorly documented compared to its competitors.
The first Maseratis racing cars date back to 1922, but it was in the 1930s, after its acquisition by the Orsi family, that the brand turned to Grand Touring cars. Maserati GTs appeared discreetly in the 1950s, marking the beginning of its golden age, with iconic models such as the 3500 GT and the Ghibli.

Competition, in Formula 1 and in Sport, forges Maserati's image but also its financial difficulties. The brand renews itself with innovations such as the Quattroporte, the first four-door supercar, and the mid-engined Bora. Despite periods of instability under De Tomaso and Fiat, Maserati is now regaining its former prestige.

Martin Buckley, a long-time Maserati enthusiast, unveils in this book the eventful history of the brand, offering driving impressions, buying advice and portraits of the main players in this fascinating automotive saga.

Maserati - Un siècle d'histoire

Maserati turned one hundred in 2014 and celebrated this anniversary with legitimate pride. A centenary illuminated by cars that have made history, in particular through their successes at the highest level of motorsport.

Luca Dal Monte, one of the four authors, recalls the history of the company, from its romantic origins with Alfieri Maserati and his brothers, protagonists and creators of a dream to which they gave their own name, before then evoking the transformations of the company and its products that have occurred over the years, up to the evolution within the Fiat-Chrysler galaxy.

With this latest development, the trident manufacturer is experiencing a superb revival, in contrast to the global crisis, with great prospects for development and consolidation.

Thirteen of these most beautiful models are highlighted here:
- the legendary A6, the first Maserati road car
- the fabulous 3500 GT, a pioneer in mass production
- the innovative Quattroporte, the precursor of the sports saloon
- the famous Ghibli and its futuristic design
- the original Merak and its central engine
- the impressive supercharged Biturbo
- the beautiful 3200 GT and its captivating shapes

Maserati: Un secolo di storia - Il libro ufficiale

A project of high level meant to commemorate 100 years of Maserati, this work covers the history of the marque in all its aspects and is divided into three large sections.
The first chapter signed by Luca Dal Monte, deals with the company history and the marque's industrial matters: from the early years, when production was concentrated on racing cars, to the advent of the first GT of the immediate post-war period through to the great classics of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies.

The 'Road cars and design' section by Lorenzo Ramaciotti, is specifically devoted to the Trident's road cars: from the A6 1500 to current production, including the extraordinary expressions of design offered by models like the 3500 and 5000 GT, the various Quattroportes, the Mistral, Ghibli, Indy to then approach the present day, touching on the 3200 GT and the current Quattroporte, Granturismo and GranCabrio. Historic and modern pictures illustrate each of these models in a long photographic treatise, preceded by an introductory section which focuses on the historic matters associated with this vein of Maserati production.

The last section written by Cesare De Agostini and Gianni Cancellieri is about races: from the outset Maserati's history has mainly been one of racing, from the pioneering era to the glorious Fifties, as much in Formula 1 with the 1957 world championship won by Juan Manuel Fangio, as endurance races, Maserati has expressed itself with success at the top levels of the sport.
But even before that, the glorious marque had written unforgettable pages in the annals of racing, including victories at Indianapolis in 1939 and 1940. The recent success of the MC12 is the latest chapter in this proud history of achievement. There are also specific boxes in this section devoted to particular competitive aspects, such as the great road speed records (1926-1952) and the company's long experience in speedboat racing.
