Maserati Insurance

With a history firmly rooted in the success of it’s racing cars, Maserati road cars used to be something of an enigma. On the one hand, the very name evokes images of glamorous Italian sports cars, and yet on the other, they seemed unreliable, extremely rare and it is fair to say, rather expensive!!!

The change of ownership to Ferrari in the late 1990’s soon changed all that. Throughout the 1990’s Ferrari itself had learnt to build and sell cars that could maintain all the performance expectations of it’s customers, but at the same time, make them (dare we say) a sensible proposition. This influence quickly became apparent in the re-born Maserati brand. The 3200 GT Coupe marked what was probably the first ever Maserati to sell in any sort of volume. After taking time to then build a long term strategy for the company, the new owners set about developing a range of cars that could finally do justice the rich heritage of the Maserati name. The coupe was re-launched with the 4200 engine (derived from a Ferrari version) and this was soon followed by the 4-door Quattroporte.

The Quattroporte was a truly brave move, by entering into a luxury saloon market, the company would be competing with the likes of BMW, Audi, Mercedes ands Jaguar – companies with a tremendous wealth of experience in producing luxury saloons. The prestige of the badge combined with the unique looks of the Quattroporte (a car so stylish that Bono has one) has meant that not only has it survived the onslaught from this fierce competition, it has positively thrived.

Such has been the transformation of Maserati under the ownership of Ferrari the company has even been able to launch a supercar. The Maserati MC12 is a truly astounding car. Based on the Ferrari Enzo, only a small number will ever be built, but for the lucky few owners, the MC12 is a legend in its own time.
