Maserati Launches MC Sport Line In Bologna With Special Edition GranTursimo S
The lack of SEMA-worthy accessories holding you back from purchasing a Maserati? No longer. The automaker will now sell you a carbon fiber bodykit, lowered suspension, carbon mirror covers, a carbon steering wheel, and carbon side skirts straight from the showroom. We’re actually digging this white and black Maserati GranTurismo S, but we’d probably say “no thanks” to the tacky carbon bolt-ons.

Maserati Claims Fastest Production Nürburgring Lap In MC12, Pretends Viper Doesn't Exist
Joining the "we're faster than you and we can prove it in a completely unscientific way by racing around the same racetrack in a production car under various conditions and providing our own timing" club is the Maserati MC12, which now claims they've made the fastest production lap around the Nürburgring of 7:24.29, besting the feuding claims of Porsche and Nissan, which claim 7:34 and 7:29, respectively, for the 911 GT2 and Nissan GT-R, respectively. Although the MC12's still behind the Dodge Viper ACR, let's not ruin their day by pointing that out. More »

Maserati May Set All-Time Sales Record In 2008
Believe it or not, Maserati is on track to set an all-time sales record for 2008. We know it's hard to believe, what with products that are criminally gorgeous and an explosion of golden parachutes to pay for them. Sales are up 40% year-over-year, with the bulk coming from the Maserati Quattroporte (you know, the one you decided was best not in the JFG), set to sell over 7,000 units this year. That doesn't mean the Maserati Gran Turismo isn't holding up its end, especially now that they're apparently hot with the gay community. More »

Why Run A Flathead Or Small-Block When You Could Run A Maserati Quattroporte V8?
Much as we all love the ol' iconic Model T or A Ford with small-block V8 and primer paint, the landscape at Billetproof is so dominated by such machines- seemingly acres of 'em- that it takes something really wild to make passersby stagger back in slack-jawed awe. This is such a car. In addition to the 300-horsepower, quad-carb DOHC V8 (and Torqueflite-based automatic) out of an '81 Maserati Quattroporte, this Ford has a handcrafted independent front suspension (the coolest parts of which, unfortunately, we were unable to photograph).

Women Turned On By Exotic Cars According To Questionable Science
A study commissioned by giggle-inducing British insurer Hiscox has proven than women, more than men, are seriously aroused by the sound of an exotic supercar. The "scientist" behind the test had 40 women and 40 men listen to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Volkswagen Polo. Afterwards, he tested their saliva for enhanced hormone levels corresponding to arousal. Sure enough, while both sexes got randy from the snarl of an exotic car it was the women who were most moved. And the little Polo? More »

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Last time we screeched up the corroded roll-up door of the Hell Garage and crawled inside, we saw the pair of Fiat 1200 Spiders stomp all over the Fiat 124 Coupe. We still love Italian cars, of course, and we don't want to leave Italian Hell yet… so, after all the discussion about today's Nice Price Or Crack Pipe $12,500 Chryslerati, we pretty much had no choice but to go with a Detroit-Italian matchup today. Yeah, you know what's coming: TC versus Allanté!

11,000-Mile Chrysler TC By Maserati: Nice Price or Crack Pipe?
It's telling that 90% of listings for the Chrysler TC refer to the Most Expensive K Car Ever as a Maserati in the headline, with no mention of Chrysler. But they really are Maseratis, so you'd expect to pay way more for one than you would for, say, a Le Baron Turbo. What we're wondering is whether a Chrysler TC By Maserati with just 11,000 miles on the clock is really worth $12,500. This may well be the nicest TC in the world and it might go on to set new records at Barrett-Jackson someday… which means twelve-and-a-half grand might just be a Nice Price.

$2,750 Maserati Pen Will Not Help You Write Faster
Feel like going all out and indulging in obnoxious luxury? Grab yourself a $2,750 sterling-silver Maserati-branded pen. Yeah, that's plenty obnoxious. This pen heralds from Bologna, Italy, and the hand of Armando Simoni, apparently a famed luxo-pen crafter. The Maserati pen comes in roller ball ($2,500 — for the plebes) and fountain ($2,750) styles. Each features a Maserati trident and Maserati signature fender vents etched into the body and cap. 1,200 of the fountain pens and 714 roller balls are to be made, for a total of 1914 — the year Maserati was founded. We expect you to hate on it as you so ruthlessly did the Maserati Quattroporte [AutoWeek]

Piero Taruffi's 1952 Land Speed Record-Breaking Double Bullet
Jalopy Journal has a transcription of an article which ran in a 1952 copy of Mechanix Illustrated detailing the land speed record run of one Piero Taruffi, and his Double Bullet race car. Taruffi's car used a 1.7-liter four-cylinder Maserati engine running a chain drive mounted on one side of the car, with him mounted in the other. All four wheels rode on a longitudinally mounted, fully independent suspension (unlike the cutaway in the gallery used for illustration) and carried Peiro to a crushing world record in the 2-liter class.

Engine Pr0n From The 2008 Monterey Historics
We saw a whole bunch of engine shots from the '07 Monterey Historics, so let's make it a tradition and check out some of the vintage go-fast hardware that roared into Steinbeck country this weekend. You get a pretty interesting mix of engines at this event, with exposed-valvetrain mills in horseless carriages, big Detroit V8s stuffed into tiny European machines, and all manner of high-strung Italian iron with camshafts and carbs all over the place.

Vintage Maserati Quattroporte-amino Fire Truck Is Here To Save Us!
One of five cars built by the Construzione Estintori Anticendio of Bologna, this 1967 Maserati Quattroporte was camino-ized for firetruck duty. Known in their day as the "fastest fire tenders in the world," they were powered by the original 4.2-liter four-cam V8 engine that churned out a healthy 260 HP. Serving duty at Italian race tracks, they were, in typically Italian fashion, an overly stylish solution for the job. So where are they now? More »
