Maserati \u00a0\u201cIndy 4900\u201d, Vignale, 1973<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Driven by Wilbur Shaw, the Maserati 8 CTF<\/strong> won the 1939 Indianapolis 500 Miles race<\/strong> and Maserati was the first European (and Italian) car industry to win it after Peugeot in 1914. The little Bolognese firm succeeded in what Fiat, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, and Bugatti failed. The same car, again driven by Wilbur Shaw, won the 1940 Indy edition too and entered the automobile legend<\/strong> as for the first time in the most important American race history a car won two editions.
\nTo remember these triumphs, Maserati called \u201cIndy\u201d the car introduced at the 1968 Turin Motor Show<\/strong>.
\nThe Indy was the obvious evolution of the Mexico, that is a fast coup\u00e9 also comfortable for four people. During the production years, the most important modifications concerned the engine; in 1970<\/strong> it was enlarged to 4.700cc<\/strong> and the car got the name Indy America<\/a>; since 1973<\/strong> only the version fitted with the 4.900cc<\/strong> engine (the same unit already fitted to the Ghibli<\/a> SS) remained in production. The Indy was a good sale success and was produced also after Citroen took over the company from Modena.<\/p>\n
