The Maserati story can be told from many different points of view: its achievements on the race track, its road cars, the Coupés, the Spyders or the Quattroporte saloons. Each of these stories intertwines with the others, but one story in particular connects them all: that of the Coupés. Often inspired by racing car technology and then used themselves as a starting point for the Spyders (as Maserati is only too happy to point out) or as a platform for the development of big sporty sedans, the Maserati Coupés have made a unique impact on the high performance luxury car scene. This book, compiled by the ever passionate Jürgen Lewandowski, documents the most significant milestones in the fascinating story of the Maserati Coupé, and is being published to coincide with the unveiling of the Coupé GT and the Coupé Cambiocorsa. The models are grouped by family and era, and thanks to some very skilful photography, are compared not only in terms of exterior lines but also fittings, dashboards, steering wheels and gear use. This is the second volume of a collection started with the Spyder monograph; produced directly by Maserati. Includes technical specifications. Foreword by Luca di Montezemolo.
