The Top 6 Classic Maseratis of All Time

When it comes to the classiest supercars ever, it’s difficult not to think of Maserati. It’s a moniker that conjures up images of unrivalled luxury design. Take a look at our collection of the best classic Maseratis of all time and tell us what you think.

Maserati 250F

The Maserati 250F was a true collector’s item, with only 26 cars produced at the start of the 1960s. It was designed for F1 racing, and racing enthusiasts will remember it as the late Stirling Moss’ winning vehicle. Unfortunately, by the late 1950s, the 250F had reached the end of its competitive lifetime. However, until its line fell into obsolescence, it remained a popular choice among collectors. This was a sprightly powerhouse that deserved a little more attention because it was responsible for a slew of world records.

Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage

The Birdcage is a truly iconic Maserati, owing to its design. It was designed for lengthy endurance races, is light and robust, and stands out from the crowd. Only 16 examples were produced, making it an even rarer beast than the 250F. Stirling Moss, once again, was instrumental in the success of the Birdcage. This supercar, on the other hand, would later excel at long-distance pursuits. The Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage is said to be wonderful to look at and drive. Few Maseratis are as iconic as this one.

Maserati Tipo 151

The Maserati Tipo 151 followed the 61 Birdcage a few years later, continuing the extreme streamlining. This unit was heavily influenced by WSC motors, but it carried the streamlined design to its logical conclusion. This car was a difficult endurance runner, just like the Birdcage. The 151 isn’t always included in lists of the top 10 vintage Maseratis, which is likely due to the Birdcage’s prominence. However, it earns a place on our list solely because of its one-of-a-kind Le Mans victories during its run.

Maserati Khamsin

A few years later, the Maserati Khamsin was the very first Bertone invention. The Khamsin was in service for around eight years and featured the company’s signature radical style. The Khamsin, in reality, was only ever intended to be extreme on the outside. The fact that this Maserati prioritised comfort caught people’s attention. Its luxurious interior design set it apart from competitors such as the earlier Bora (more on that a little later). Again, the Khamsin is underappreciated, and it is unjustifiable.

Maserati MC12

Yes, we now have to refer to supercars from the 2000s as “classics.” The Maserati MC12 was only in production for two years, and only 50 of them were ever sold. Maserati had been out of the game for over four decades, and this was a secret racing car constructed for GT racing. The MC12 was a racing vehicle that was heavily influenced by the Birdcage. It’s obvious from the distinctive, eye-catching style and the colors stayed true to the Tipo 61s as well.

Maserati Ghibli

Long and flat-nosed, the Maserati Ghibli was a low-rider tour de force. It was also unusually short, at little under four feet tall from wheel to roof. This automobile is in our list of the top 10 classic Maseratis because of its iconic design. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the most comfortable of supercars as you can tell just by looking at it! The Ghibli was produced between 1967 and 1973 and was designed to compete with Aston Martin’s DBS. 150-155 mph is the top speed.
