As the Maserati brothers were building cars for Diatto, in 1926 Diatto suspended the production of race cars, leading to the creation of the first Maserati and the founding of the Maserati marque. One of the first Maseratis, driven by Alfieri Maserati, won the 1926 Targa Florio. Maserati is long steeped and respected in sports and racing car production.</strong><br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>With the introduction of the 3500GT with its all new Aluminium 3.5 Liter engine and body by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera of Milan was an instant success and rightfully so.
