From 24 to 27 October 2024, Maserati was represented at the 41st "Auto e Moto d'Epoca" in Bologna, one of the most important trade fairs for classic cars in Europe. In this setting, where the focus was on the most beautiful historic vehicles, Maserati presented two convertibles from different eras in Hall 31. Both masterpieces - a vintage model and a current model - represented the brand's ability to combine high sporting performance with long-distance comfort, in line with the Grand Touring concept. These were a Ghibli Spyder from 1969 and a new GranCabrio Trofeo.

During the event in Bologna, the importance of the topic was emphasised by a presence in the Motor Valley pavilion. There, the focus was on the Maserati Classiche programme, which promotes the preservation and originality of automotive heritage with an exclusive service for Maserati customers. The programme now includes an authenticity certification process, managed by a committee of experts, for Maserati models over 20 years old and special series from the recent past. The programme also offers an in-house maintenance service for minor repairs and routine maintenance.

One of the main tasks of Maserati Classiche was also the reproduction of spare parts that were no longer available, manufactured according to the original designs. The best available technology was used to improve the reliability and functionality of the components without altering their aesthetic appearance.

Vehicles on display at the Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2024

Maserati Ghibli Spyder (1969 to 1972): In 1966, plans were developed for a new Grand Tourer to emphasise Maserati’s sporting tradition. The Ghibli, named after a desert wind, was characterised by powerful lines while maintaining an elegant and refined style. The Spyder version of the coupé followed in 1969, generating great enthusiasm at its premiere and soon becoming a commercial success. Production began with 100 units and was later increased to 400. A total of 1,332 Ghibli (Coupé and Spyder) were built by the end of production.

Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo (since 2024): Launched in early 2024, the Maserati GranCabrio combined luxury, performance and sporty driving comfort. With a space-saving fabric roof, it remains a genuine four-seater. A GranCabrio Trofeo powered by the 404 kW (550 hp) Nettuno V6 twin-turbo engine was exhibited at the Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2024 in Bologna. The matt Maratea Grey paintwork together with the red interior creates a powerful contrast and emphasises the sporty character.

Maserati MC12 Versione Corse (2006): Developed in 2006 and based on the racing sibling model, this vehicle was designed purely for use on the racetrack. The limited series comprised twelve customer vehicles and three prototypes. The MC12 Versione Corse with an impressive 555 kW (755 hp) V12 engine wrote an unforgettable chapter in the history of the brand. The model was on display at the it.Motor1.com and it.Motorsport.com stand in Hall 31.
