After establishing its name through racing success, Maserati built some of the world's most desirable sports cars during the 1960s and '70s. After a period in the doldrums in the 1980s and '90s, the marque has emerged during the past ten years and is making some great cars again under the stewardship of parent company Fiat. The new Quattroporte in particular is one of the finest cars Maserati has ever built. This is an essential addition to the "Haynes 'Classic Makes'" series, blending history and technical information with driving impressions and buying hints. Item Details
