The time is right to devote a 'catalogue' to the celebrated House of the Trident that brings together almost all its production, from the Tipo 26 - the Grand Prix racer with which the Maserati brothers first became constructors back in 1926 - to current production cars like the GranTurismo, Quattroporte, Ghibli and the brand new Kubang.

Maserati Cars Ultimate Portfolio 1999-2007
Maseratis are true luxury cars that will always remain exclusive because of their very nature and that is the way it should be. After some years in the doldrums Maserati is back with a vengeance and the resurgence began in 1998 with the 3200 GT coupe. Today's range is, for the performance connoisseur, nigh on perfect with the beautifully styled 4200 GT complete with a drop-top version and for the family there is the gorgeous Quattroporte.
