MASERATI 3500GT SUPERLEGGERA COUPE. Classic iconic 60s grand touring automobile, elegant design of the 3500GT SUPERLEGGERA was the creation of Milanese coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring, whose Superleggera (Superlight) patent used aluminum panels wrapped over a thin, tubular steel frame that described the body shape. The 3500 GT achieved great commercial success, establishing Maserati as one of the world's most exclusive high-performance automotive marques.
In 1961, fuel injection was introduced, making it the first injected Italian production car. Just over 2, 200 examples were built between 1957 and 1964. For a company like Maserati, this was a monumental number and the car was deemed a big success. The blend of performance and comfort attracted wealthy buyers, and the list of celebrity 3500GT SUPERLEGGERA owners includes Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson and none other than Prince Rainier III of Monaco.
The 3500GT SUPERLEGGERA is highly praised for its attention to detail, impressive level of comfort and intoxicating high-speed cruising ability. It has all the right ingredients of a thoroughbred Italian grand turismo, but it is made even more desirable thanks to its significance. With the 3500GT SUPERLEGGERA, Maserati embarked on the path of building fast but comfortable production cars that the company is still on to this day.
