History
Maserati Mistral
The Mistral represented the ultimate development of Maserati's twin-cam straight-six engine that traced its lineage back to the 1950s racing cars. Pietro Frua's elegant coupe and spider bodywork featured smooth lines and excellent proportions that aged gracefully. Available in 3.5, 3.7, and 4.0-liter variants, the largest version produced 255 horsepower and could reach 255 km/h. The Mistral marked the end of an era as Maserati's final inline-six powered road car before transitioning exclusively to V8 engines for their GT models.
