At the 1968 Turin Motor Show, two prototypes for a new, elegant Maserati with four seats were presented, one by Carrozzerie Vignale and one by Carrozzerie Ghia, both of which had long been associated with Maserati. The Vignale prototype was selected and unveiled at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show as the Maserati Indy Vignale Coupé. As with some earlier Maserati models, the name was chosen as a tribute to the brand’s great racing history – in this case the dominant victories of the Maserati 8C TF at the Indianapolis 500-mile race in 1939-1940. Despite its slim two-door coupé profile, the Maserati Indy was designed as a fully-fledged four-seater luxury grand tourer. The core of the design was a front-mounted 4.2-liter light-alloy V8 engine fed by four Weber carburetors and coupled to a 5-speed ZF transmission (or 3-speed automatic). A 4.7-liter V8 engine was offered for the first time in mid-1970, followed by a 4.9-liter V8 engine with 315 to 320 hp in 1973. The Indy’s luxurious leather interior offered plenty of space to cover long distances in comfort, and an almost horizontal tailgate provided easy access to a luggage compartment of 510 liters. A total of 1,104 Indy were built.
