Maserati V8 engine

Automotive Engines

The Maserati V8 engine family is a long-running series of 90-degree, four-stroke V8 engines that Maserati designed and built for almost forty-five years. A racing version first appeared in 1939 in the V8RI, and a road version arrived with the Maserati 5000 GT in 1959, after which the engines powered a long list of front-engined and mid-engined Maserati road cars, from the Quattroporte and Ghibli to the Bora, Indy, Khamsin and Shamal, ending with the 3200 GT in 2002. The engines were naturally aspirated at first and were later turbocharged, and their displacements ranged from 3.2 to 6.46 litres. The family was succeeded by, but is not the same as, the Ferrari-Maserati engine that Ferrari designed and built for later Maserati models.
