MASERATI

Maserati was founded in Bologna in 1914 by the Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Bindo, Ernesto and Ettore. The first car to wear the now-legendary Trident emblem was the Tipo 26.

Here’s how Alfieri describes the first Tipo 26 “all the characteristics of all the cars which had been built so far”.  It is Alfieri Maserati himself who drove the car at the 1926 Targa Florio (he finished 8th OA) and the 1927 Targa Florio (he finished 3rd OA).

The brand’s rich motorsport heritage makes it one of the most prestigious manufacturers in the world today.
