The 43rd Auto e Moto d'Epoca runs over four days at BolognaFiere.
Maserati presented the pairing as a dialogue between different eras, which took on even greater significance in the year the brand celebrates the centenary of the Trident and of its first racing victory — achieved in Bologna itself, where the company was founded in 1914. The event also closed with strong attendance by collectors, enthusiasts and industry professionals, with more than 5,000 vehicles on display and for sale. The show's organisers said the event reaffirmed its status as an international benchmark for classic cars and motorcycles.
Previously from Maserati S.p.A.
MotorClaw previously reported that Maserati would mark 100 years of the Trident at Auto e Moto d'Epoca by pairing a 1972 Ghibli SS Coupé with the 590-hp GranTurismo Trofeo. That earlier coverage noted the brand was returning to its birth city of Bologna for the 43rd edition of the show as the Trident emblem turns 100.

Why this matters
The release shows how Maserati uses a major historic-motoring show to put its heritage cars next to current product in front of collectors, enthusiasts and industry professionals. The event's scale — visitors from 40 countries and more than 5,000 vehicles on display and for sale — underlines how large the classic-car audience Maserati is addressing has become. For the brand, the Bologna appearance also ties its marketing to its birth city and to the centenary of the Trident.
