The Maserati car company was founded in Bologna, Italy, on December 1, 1914, by Alfieri Maserati and his brothers, initially focusing on racing cars. After several successes, including the Tipo 26's victory in the 1926 Targa Florio, the company shifted to road cars post the 1957 Mille Miglia tragedy. Notable models include the A6 series, 3500 GT, and the Mistral, with a recent focus on electric vehicles like the GranTurismo Folgore. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
