The Legacy Lives On: Maserati Mexico's Enduring Charm

~Real ITALIAN-Styled Car~ When it comes to sports cars exuding pure Italian style, one name that inevitably comes to mind is the Maserati Mexico. This exceptional automobile made its official debut at the 53rd edition of the Mondial de l'Automobile de Paris on October 6, 1966, and quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest Italian GT cars of its era.

The Maserati Mexico is a true work of art, characterized by its elegant and clean lines, meticulously crafted by CarrozzerIa Vignale during 1966 to 1973. This 2+2 coupe embodies the quintessential Maserati essence while maintaining a strong sporting character. It marked a significant milestone as the third Maserati model to utilize the propulsion unit, following in the footsteps of the Quattroporte and the 5000 GT. Underneath the hood, this beauty conceals a road-ready version of the racing engine derived from the legendary Maserati 450S.

The story behind the name "Mexico" for this remarkable vehicle is shrouded in intrigue. According to reports, a prominent Maserati customer in 1961 had acquired a Maserati Allemano 5000 GT that was previously owned by the Mexican President at the time, Adolfo López Mateos. He brought the car to Modena for repairs following an accident.

During a visit to the Ciro Menotti's Viale factory, this customer was so captivated by a Vignale-designed prototype that he insisted on purchasing it, even to the extent of transferring the bodywork onto his 5000 GT chassis.

While some suggest that it was named in honor of Cooper-Maserati's victory in the 1966 Mexican Grand Prix, where John Surtees emerged victorious in the final round of that year's Formula 1 World Championship. These intriguing twists of fate are believed to have influenced the choice of the name "Mexico" for the future model. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but we find the latter explanation more plausible.

Since its initial launch, the Maserati Mexico has been available with two distinct engine options. The first is a 4.2-liter V8 engine generating 260 horsepower, propelling the car to a top speed of 240 km/hour. Alternatively, there's a 4.7-liter V8 engine with 290 hp, pushing the Mexico to a top speed of 255 km/h. Furthermore, the 4.7-liter version was fitted with 650 x 15" Boranni chrome wire wheels and the 4.2-liter version with 'disc' wheels.

What truly sets the Maserati Mexico apart is its exceptional style and standard equipment. The interior features luxurious leather seats, electric windows, a finely crafted wooden dashboard, air conditioning, and servo-ventilated front disc brakes. For those seeking added conveniences, automatic transmission, power steering, and a radio were available as optional extras. The interior was often described as an "Italian-style lounge," reflecting Maserati's commitment to Italian heritage and craftsmanship.

As we approach the 57th anniversary of the Maserati Mexico's debut in 1966, it is worth noting that Maserati has continued to produce iconic cars that leave an indelible mark on automotive history and set new standards in the luxury segment. The Mexico model embodies the values of excellence, design, and power that still resonate in all Maserati vehicles proudly carrying the Trident emblem.

In conclusion, the Maserati Mexico remains a symbol of Italian automotive excellence, blending timeless style with impressive performance. Its rich history and enduring legacy continue to inspire car enthusiasts and aficionados around the world. As Maserati forges ahead into the future, it does so with a commitment to upholding the traditions and values that have defined the brand for decades. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARROZZIERI-ITALIANI | CARSTYLING.RU ]

Miura: The Most Valuable and Prettiest Raging Bull Sports Car Ever

~Most Valuable ONES~ Perhaps some of you may not be as familiar with the classic Lamborghini Miura as you are with newer models like the Huracán, Aventador, or Gallardo. Yet, the Lamborghini Miura can be hailed as the trailblazer for the stunning sports cars bearing the iconic Raging Bull emblem. Its debut on the public stage occurred at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, though the chassis had already made its presence known in 1965. What's the captivating tale behind this beauty? Let's dive into the narrative.

1966 Lamborghini P400 Prototipo. (Picture from: Supercars.net)

The inception of Automobili Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese boasts a unique origin story. It's widely recounted that it all began when Ferruccio Lamborghini expressed dissatisfaction with the clutch of his Ferrari 250 GTE, leading to a grievance lodged with Enzo Ferrari himself. As time unfurled, in 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini ventured into the realm of automobile manufacturing, birthing his own car company. Success swiftly followed with the production of the 350 GT and 400 GT coupes in 1964, marking the inception of this Italian company's journey towards becoming a renowned automaker.

In 1965, as part of their relentless pursuit of innovation, Lamborghini unveiled a new model. The design and engineering team, all in their late twenties, spearheaded this venture. Chief engineer Gian Paolo Dallara was brimming with enthusiasm to create an innovative vehicle that would cement Lamborghini's legacy in the competitive world of automotive manufacturing. Initially known as project P400, which translates to "4-liter rear-drive engine" in Italian, this car was built on a robust yet lightweight chassis, ready to house a 3.9-liter V12 engine, identical to the one employed in the Lamborghini 400 GT.

The new car necessitated a mid-mounted engine with a low-slung profile, graced by the visionary styling of Bertone's Marcello Gandini. The culmination of their efforts resulted in the Lamborghini Miura, unveiled in all its glory at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. It boasted a 350-horsepower 4.0-liter V12 engine, designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and ingeniously mounted transversely. The front and rear decks, crafted from aluminum, opened with a clamshell-like grace.

Inside, steeply reclined seats nestled behind a stylish two-pod instrument panel adorned with additional gauges in the center stack. Thus, the Miura P400 came into existence. The journey continued with the Miura P400S in 1968, enhancing interior quality, revamping the rear suspension, and boosting horsepower by 20, bringing the total to 370 horses.

In 1971, the Miura P400SV made its entrance, initially as a special order car. This edition featured widened rear fenders to accommodate bulkier 15-inch rims and tires, redesigned taillights, a fresh nose design, and a power bump to 385 horsepower. The broader rear track, along with structural chassis reinforcement, rendered the Miura SV exceptionally capable, boasting a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds and a top speed of around 180 mph – bona fide supercar figures of its era. The Miura's production run came to a close in 1973, making way for the radical new Countach, which reached its final form the following year.

Although Ferruccio Lamborghini never formalized plans to race the Miura, the renowned test driver Bob Wallace played a pivotal role in developing the Miura P400 Jota, a prototype designed to meet FIA motorsport regulations. The Jota featured an all-aluminum chassis and body for significant weight savings, while the V12 engine was tuned to produce over 400 horsepower at nearly 9,000 rpm. Notable body enhancements included a front spoiler, fixed headlights with fairings, and substantial suspension modifications.

While there were no intentions to enter this vehicle into competition, word quickly spread about this factory-made race car. Six Lamborghini enthusiasts ordered cars in the spirit of the Jota, known as the Miura SV/J, directly from the factory. It's worth noting that Lamborghini later converted several more Miuras into SV/J specifications. Additionally, one prototype of the Miura P400 Roadster, Bertone's concept car, still exists today. Hence, it was unsurprising when a special Lamborghini model resurfaced as a tribute to the Miura in 2016.

In terms of price, the most expensive Lamborghini Miura, the final unit produced in 1971, can command around 2.5 million US dollars or approximately Rp. 36.25 billion (as of 2018). In 2022, a British insurance company, Confused, named the venerable Lamborghini Miura sports car as the most valuable classic car, surpassing legendary classics like the Ferrari F40, Ferrari 250 GTO, and others.

Confused utilized a unique calculation method for this determination, considering around 2,000 classic cars that have left an indelible mark on the global automotive industry. The assessment spanned from 2019 to 2022, examining factors such as production numbers, car prices in May 2019, current car prices, and Google search volumes for car names.

From this comprehensive assessment, the Lamborghini Miura was declared the most valuable classic car, securing the top spot in the ranking. The Ferrari F40, the last car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, narrowly trailed behind the Miura. The Lamborghini Miura's enduring allure stems from its revolutionary design and performance, making it an everlasting symbol of Italian automotive prowess. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LAMBORGHINI | SUPERCARS.NET | MOTORTREND | STUFF ]
