Maserati “Mistral 4.0 coup\u00e8”, Frua, 1968<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Following the commercial success of the 3500 GT Touring<\/a>, Maserati<\/strong> launched a new 2-seater coup\u00e9<\/strong> at the 1963 Turin Motor Show. <\/strong>Designed by Frua<\/strong>, the new Mistral anticipated some styling innovations like the hatchback<\/strong> or the integrated front bumper<\/strong> with the front grille inside, that will be adopted by the other car manufacturers years later.
\nThe engine displacement raised from 3500cc to 3700 cc<\/strong> and in 1966 an optional 4-liter engine was available as well.
\nSold up to 1970<\/strong>, the Mistral is the last Maserati GT car with an inline engine, a true strong point of the Modenese brand both on track and on the road.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
