Samochody Maserati: książki - historia i technika

Maserati - A Century of History - The Official Book

A project of high level meant to commemorate 100 years of Maserati, this work covers the history of the marque in all its aspects and is divided into three large sections.
The first chapter signed by Luca Dal Monte, deals with the company history and the marque's industrial matters: from the early years, when production was concentrated on racing cars, to the advent of the first GT of the immediate post-war period through to the great classics of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies.

The 'Road cars and design' section by Lorenzo Ramaciotti, is specifically devoted to the Trident's road cars: from the A6 1500 to current production, including the extraordinary expressions of design offered by models like the 3500 and 5000 GT, the various Quattroportes, the Mistral, Ghibli, Indy to then approach the present day, touching on the 3200 GT and the current Quattroporte, Granturismo and GranCabrio.
Historic and modern pictures illustrate each of these models in a long photographic treatise, preceded by an introductory section which focuses on the historic matters associated with this vein of Maserati production.

The last section written by Cesare De Agostini and Gianni Cancellieri is about races: from the outset Maserati's history has mainly been one of racing, from the pioneering era to the glorious Fifties, as much in Formula 1 with the 1957 world championship won by Juan Manuel Fangio, as endurance races, Maserati has expressed itself with success at the top levels of the sport. But even before that, the glorious marque had written unforgettable pages in the annals of racing, including victories at Indianapolis in 1939 and 1940.
The recent success of the MC12 is the latest chapter in this proud history of achievement. There are also specific boxes in this section devoted to particular competitive aspects, such as the great road speed records (1926-1952) and the company's long experience in speedboat racing.

The book has received a nomination for the prestigious 2014 Motoring Book of the Year promoted by the Royal Automobile Club.

Maserati - Un siècle d'histoire

Maserati a eu cent ans en 2014 et a célébré cet anniversaire avec une fierté légitime. Un centenaire éclairé par des voitures qui ont marqué l'histoire, en particulier par leurs succès au plus haut niveau du sport automobile.

Luca Dal Monte, l'un des quatre auteurs, rappelle l'histoire de l'entreprise, depuis ses origines romantiques avec Alfieri Maserati et ses frères, protagonistes et créateurs d'un rêve auquel ils ont donné leur propre nom, avant d'évoquer ensuite les transformations de la compagnie et des produits survenues au fil des ans, jusqu'à l'évolution récente au sein de la galaxie Fiat-Chrysler.

Par ce dernier développement, le constructeur au trident connaît un superbe renouveau, à l'opposé de la crise mondiale, avec de belles perspectives de développement et de consolidation.

Lorenzo Ramaciotti retrace magistralement l'évolution du style des voitures de Grand Tourisme de la firme de Modène, entre tradition et innovation, résultat de l'extraordinaire créativité des stylistes italiens.
Enfin, Gianni Cancellieri et Cesare De Agostini rappellent les fascinants exploits des pilotes talentueux qui ont franchi en tête la ligne d'arrivée, au volant de Maserati.

Maserati 1914-2014 - 100 anni di storia attraverso i fatti più significativi

This volume is a commemoration for the 100 years of history of Maserati, through an analysis of the facts and car models together with the events and the certainties (sometimes doubts...) of the men who made such a fascinating history.
This close up is enhanced by episodes, trivia, news and special accounts, which the chronological order allow us to highlight.

Maserati - Luxe, sport et prestige

Dans le monde fabuleux des voitures de sport italiennes, le nom de Maserati est apparu bien avant celui de ses rivales Ferrari et Lamborghini. Pourtant, la marque n'a inspiré que peu d'ouvrages approfondis et l'histoire des Maserati de route est entourée d'une aura de mystère.
Les premières Maserati de course ont vu le jour en 1922 mais ce n'est qu'après le rachat de la firme par la famille Orsi, dans les années 1930, que la marque a commencé à s'intéresser aux voitures de Grand Tourisme. Ainsi, les GT Maserati sont d'abord apparues de façon confidentielle dans les années 1950. Elles n'avaient alors plus grand-chose à voir avec les fondateurs de Maserati, qui avaient quitté l'entreprise pour créer la marque Osca.

L'engagement en compétition, en Formule 1 et en Sport, participa à développer l'image de Maserati, mais lui fit aussi frôler la déroute financière. La renaissance prit la forme d'une nouvelle six cylindres de route, la 3500 GT, qui constitua la base d'une grande famille de voitures de sport : elle marquait le début de l'âge d'or des Maserati Grand Tourisme conçues par Alfieri. Toute une série de V8 classiques, dont la fameuse Ghibli, allait suivre.
Maserati explora une nouvelle voie avec la Quattroporte - la première supercar quatre portes du monde - et, après la reprise de la marque par Citroën à la fin des années 1960, emprunta une route plus high-tech avec la Bora à moteur central, capable de 275 km/h. Pendant la période De Tomaso, la production augmenta mais au détriment de la qualité et, lorsque Fiat prit le contrôle de Maserati dans les années 1990, sa réputation était au plus mal. Mais aujourd'hui, la marque au Trident a retrouvé son rang.

Passionné de longue date de Maserati, Martin Buckley décrit en détails l'histoire mouvementée de cette merveilleuse marque, depuis ses activités d'avant-guerre jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Cet ouvrage fournit en plus des impressions de conduite des principaux modèles, des conseils d'achat, des fiches techniques ainsi que des coups de projecteurs sur certains des principaux acteurs de cette passionnante histoire.

Maserati - Italienischer Luxus und Flair

Der ausgewiesene Maserati-Experte Martin Buckley beschreibt mit vielen Details die faszinierende Achterbahnfahrt der Nobel-Marke - von den ersten Anfängen bis heute.
Neben der Geschichte bietet das Buch auch Kauftipps, Fahreindrücke und technische Information sowie Portraits der wichtigsten Akteure. Der instruktive Text und die Vielzahl an außergewöhnlichen Fotos machen dieses Buch zu einem wunderbaren Geschenk für jeden Maserati-Liebhaber.

Maserati At Heart

In this book of over 500 pages Ermanno Cozza, the true historic memory of Maserati, passionately tells a story packed with behind the scenes truths - right up to today - that have never before been published.
He covers half a century of the company's life, which he lived in close contact with the great motor racing champions, ingenious technicians, designers and, naturally, company life as well, of course, as the unforgettable cars. A carefully chosen collection of photographs and other illustrations complete this invaluable book.

"Over 66 years have passed since I walked through the gates of Officine Alfieri Maserati (the Alfieri Maserati Workshops). It was in 1951, and in all that time I can truly say that Maserati took hold of my heart. The factory, the men and the cars have indelibly marked moments in my life.
Today, many people consider me to be the living memory of Maserati and, in that way, take me back to those earlier days.
In this book, I have tried to convey the excitement of living the Maserati legend so that, step by step, I cover the most important moments of my long and extraordinary experience: the excitement of participation, the joy and pain, the cars and the defeats, the ambitions and the professional difficulties.
While I have always enjoyed good health, over the years I have been infected with the Maserati `virus' of which I believe I have been a carrier all this time - and it is a virus of which I never want to be cured", Ermanno Cozza.

Maserati Brochures and Sales Literature - Post War Brochures Through Inline 6 Cylinder Cars

Encompassing not only the well-known automobiles from the end of World War II through the last of the six-cylinder cars, "Maserati Brochures and Sales Literature" also visually chronicles Maserati's machine tool, truck, marine and motorcycle efforts.

The book was compiled by renowned Ferrari and Maserati historian Hilary A. Raab, Jr., with an introduction by Dr. Adolfo Orsi.
