Maserati Biturbo Magnaflow  Maserati Quattroporte Magnaflow Maserati is a renowned creator of lust -worthy exotics that presently come in a number of configurations that vary from an open sports coupé to a roomy luxury sport sedan. In 1914, the company was founded by six Maserati brothers: Bindo, Carlo, Alfieri, Ettore, Mario and Ernesto. Situated in Italy, the brothers were enthusiasts of racing and intended to craft race coupes for private use. Mario was an artist who was thought to have based the company's trident emblem on a sculpture of the mythological god Neptune discovered in a Bologna square. The Maserati brothers, throughout the '20s and '30s, achieved a lot of wins around the world in their custom-made racecars. The existing brothers sold their share in the company to the Orsi family in 1937, which moved the company's headquarters to Modena. After a couple of years, one of the auto manufacturer’s coupes won the prestigious Indianapolis 500. In the mid-1950s, the Maserati 3500 GT was introduced fitted with a double-overhead-cam inline six. The auto manufacturer had shifted its spotlight from racecars to road cars by the 1960s. The company introduced brilliant models like the Mistral Coupe and the Sebring. In 1966, the sleek Giugiaro-styled Ghibli was introduced that was a truly powerful (330-horsepower V8) and sexy Italian sports coupe. The marquee was acquired by Citroën in 1968. Maserati made the most of its partnership with Citroën, with some of that company's suspension and steering components in Maserati coupes such as the V6 Merak and V8 Bora models throughout the 1970s. The company was acquired by Alejandro de Tomaso in 1975, an Argentinean who had an earlier life as a booming racecar driver. He then rolled out a fresh model, the Quattroporte III, a four-door luxury sedan. After recovering from the dark time of the 80’s and the 90’s, the company in 2005, was split from Ferrari but continued within the Fiat fold. In the same year the reintroduction of the Quattroporte luxury sport sedan was made, which is at the present escorted by the voluptuous GranTurismo coupe.
