1961 – The Birdcage chassis
Maserati’s chief engineer Giulio Alfieri developed an absolutely revolutionary chassis, designed to be lightweight but extremely rigid, delivering outstanding performance and superb handling. Called the Birdcage chassis, it was an ingenious structure that made the new Maserati race cars extremely competitive. This chassis provided the basis for five different cars, the Maserati Tipo 60, Tipo 61, Tipo 63, Tipo 64 and the modern Birdcage 75th.
1980–present: Then and now
2004 – World champions, again and again and again
In 2004 Maserati returned to winning on the track with its extraordinary racer, the MC12, which amassed an impressive haul of trophies. Maserati’s participation in the FIA GT from 2005 to 2010 was crowned with 14 titles and 19 victories. These included two Manufacturers Cups (2005 and 2007), five Driver Championships (Bartels-Bertolini in 2006, Thomas Biagi in 2007, and Bartels-Bertolini in 2008, 2009 and 2010); six Team Championships (uninterrupted since 2005, by the Vitaphone Racing Team); one Citation Cup in 2007 by gentleman driver Ben Aucott, JMB Racing; in addition to three absolute victories in the Spa 24 Hours (2005, 2006 and 2008).
2005 – Birdcage 75th concept car
This concept car was created in 2005 to celebrate the 75th birthday of Sergio Pininfarina, using the name and imitating the innovative character of the iconic Maserati Birdcage cars that played such a starring role in 1960s motorsport. A dream car, it showcased futuristic technical features including a dome to protect the occupants, which gave an extremely streamlined look and a design that immediately earned a place in the history books.
2007 – GranTurismo becomes a huge success
Following the Quattroporte sedan, famous designer Pininfarina created a new coupé which would have a profound impact on the history of Maserati. Incredibly beautiful, the new GranTurismo sports coupé won acclaim at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007.
