The Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto, founded the company in Bologna in 1914. Alfieri Maserati was the driving force behind the first Maserati car, the Tipo 26, which debuted in 1926 with Alfieri himself behind the wheel at the Targa Florio.
Maserati built a strong reputation in Grand Prix racing in the 1930s and 1950s. The 250F, driven by Juan Manuel Fangio to his fifth World Championship in 1957, remains one of the most celebrated Grand Prix cars. That same year, Maserati withdrew from factory racing to focus on road cars after a tragic accident at the Mille Miglia.
The company has changed ownership several times, passing through Citroen, De Tomaso, Fiat, and now Stellantis. The Quattroporte, first introduced in 1963 and now in its sixth generation, has been the brand sedan flagship for over 60 years. The Ghibli and Levante SUV broadened the lineup, and the GranTurismo, launched in 2007 and redesigned for 2023, continues as the brand spiritual core. Maserati has begun electrification with the Folgore versions of the GranTurismo and Grecale.
