1914 is the year when brothers Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto Maserati founded the Maserati brand represented by the trident badge. The company initially produced spark plugs for aircrafts until they made the Tipo 26, the brand’s first car in 1920. In 1937 Maserati brothers sold the company to the Modena industrialist Adolfo Orsi but remained with the business for the next 10 years. The brand developed numerous race cars in this time period and expanded to GT cars after the war.
The first Maserati GT was the A6 500, featuring a six-cylinder engine and body design by Battista (Pininfarina). Later in 1957, the accomplished driver Juan Manuel Fangio won the first Formula One Grand Prix championship in 1957 with a Maserati race car. The brand was then partially owned by Citroen, and then bought by Alejandro de Tomaso, and later purchased by Chrysler corporation. Currently under Fiat’s portfolio of brands, Maserati went through a revamp phase in early 2000s with new models featuring sonorous V8 engines. Some iconic and modern models include Quattroporte, MC20, GranTurismo, Ghibli, Grecale, Levante, 3500GT, Tipo models, 5000 GT, Bora, Khamsin, MC12, etc.
In short, Maserati is a luxury sports brand with rich history and a status that is unique. It’s racing pedigree, Italian design chops, and high-performance engine and chassis shine through, even in modern sedans and SUVs.
Being a luxury brand, Maserati cars come with some interesting safety features ranging from numerous airbags to advanced driver aids. Some key highlights include adaptive cruise, surround view camera, collision warning systems, traffic sign recognition, active blind spot assist, etc.
Normally Maserati cars are not really associated with fuel efficiency. But modern models featuring smaller turbocharged petrol engines and hybrid assistance do offer commendable fuel economy. For example, the new Grecale models promise to offer between 20 and 31 mpg depending upon the engine option. Meanwhile, the Ghibli with a 2.0-litre engine can achieve around 35 mpg, while the same with a full blown V8 offers significantly low fuel economy – around 12 mpg.

Maserati cars, due to their premium positioning, demand high asking price with process starting from £55,000 for new models. However, used examples of Quattroporte, Ghibli and GranTurismo can be bought for just £10,000 making it a bargain!
Yes, Maserati offers hybrid and electric models in its lineup. The Ghibli, Grecale and Levante are available as hybrids. Meanwhile the Folgore models – Grecale Folgore, GranTurimso/GranCabrio Folgore are fully electric models.
Maserati’s reliability record seems to be a mixed bag, and they are never known for being the most reliable brand. There have been reports of issues related to transmission, clutch, electricals and even some build quality issues in the past. These will be more prevalent in Maserati models before 2010.
When buying a used Maserati vehicle, it is important to thoroughly inspect the car for any problems. Being a prestigious Italian marque, parts and repairs will be expensive and even though used models are affordable due to depreciation, maintenance will not be cheap. So make sure you buy an example with good history so that you don’t end up with a huge bill that might be worth more than the car itself. If possible, have a trusted mechanic, preferably one familiar with Italian brands, conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle. They can identify issues that may not be evident from a normal inspection. We also have experts at AA Vehicle Inspection who will look after everything and help you inspect a used Maserati car.
