Maserati Mistral<\/h1>\n

1963 – 1970<\/h3>\n

Introduced in 1963 and named after the fierce Mediterranean wind, the Mistral swept through the automotive world, signaling a new era of design and engineering prowess for Maserati. This sleek, stylish grand tourer not only turned heads with its stunning bodywork, crafted by the legendary Pietro Frua, but also had potent performance, housing the last iteration of the celebrated inline-six engine that traced its lineage back to Maserati\u2019s racing heritage. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Maserati Mistral (Tipo 109), named after a cold northerly wind of southern France, was the successor to the iconic 3500 GT, it was also the first in Maserati to be given the name of a wind.<\/p>\n

Maserati Mistral Variants<\/h2>\n

A first prototype of the Mistral was presented at the Turin Motor Show in the autumn of 1963, but production did not start until 1964. Available with Maserati\u2019s race-bred inline-6 engine, it could be specified in 3.5-liter, 3.7-liter and, later, 4.0-liter displacement. All cars were fitted with mechanical fuel injection from Lucas. The body was steel, but the doors, hood and rear window frame were made from aluminum to reduce weight. A convertible version of the Mistral was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1964. It was an elegant interpretation by Giovanni Michelotti of the original coupe, with bodies built by Vignale in Turin. Mistral Spyders were predominately steel-bodied, with the hood, doors and trunk lid in aluminum. A very rare optional hardtop was also produced in aluminum. Only 124 units of the Mistral Spyder were produced, and today the model counts as one of most rare and sought-after classic Maserati GT cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last model from the \u201cHouse of the Trident\u201d to have the famous straight six cylinder, twin-spark, double overhead cam engine, as fitted to the Maserati 250Fs that won 8 Grand Prix between 1954 and 1960 and one F1 World Championship in 1957<\/p>\n
