Innovation has long been the cornerstone of the Maserati marque, resulting in a long history of
racetrack victories, most notably at Targa Florio, the first of motorcar competitions that originated in
the early 1900s. With treacherous, winding cross-country courses on rutted trails in the mountains
of Sicily, Targa Florio wins were hard-fought tests of driver and vehicle endurance. The race became
a decades-long tradition, producing some of the world’s most respected and enduring carmakers.
Targa Florio’s main lesson? Learn from the past, but always look forward: innovation must always
be paramount. It’s a conviction that is no doubt shared by those fortunate to drive GranTurismo —
applying those same principles to their own story of success.
