Model history and curiosity

The Maserati Indy is a passenger car produced by the Italian car manufacturer Maserati from 1969 to 1975.

Designed by Virginio Vairo and Elio Mainardi[1], it was presented by Vignale at the 1968 Turin Motor Show, as a prototype of a two-door, four-seater coupé, to replace the Sebring model. The name "Indy" was chosen, in a contracted form, to commemorate the two victories obtained by Maserati at the Indianapolis 500, in 1939 and 1940.

Series production began in 1969: the launch took place at the Geneva Motor Show. Initially the Indy was offered with a 4.2-liter V8 engine. From 1970 a more powerful 4.7-liter V8 was also offered. In 1971 the 4.9-litre V8 of the Ghibli was also made available, detuned from 335 to 320 HP: from 1973 this last engine remained the only one available in the range.

All engines, equipped with four overhead camshafts, two for each bank, were powered by four double-barrel Weber carburettors type 42 DCNF; the gearbox was a five-speed ZF plus reverse, with an optional three-speed automatic from Borg-Warner and the drive was rear.

From 1973, tinted glass became standard on all versions.
