How would a sports car manufacturer react today, if the head of government of any country would ask at their executive level for a more powerful vehicle above their existing model range, preferably with a thoroughbred racing engine under the bonnet? Probably they would friendly reject with the reference to valid permission and emission regulations, whereby a lucrative business would be excluded. At the end of the 1950s, Maserati behaved a little more obligingly. Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Persia, had asked in Modena for a more powerful model after a test drive in a 3500 GT. For this he imagined the use of the powerful V8 engine from the 450S. Instead of showing him the door, Maserati set to work, ordered a suitable Coup\u00e9 bodywork with 2+2 seat configuration from Touring and presented the result as 5000 GT at the 1959 Turin Motor Show for the first time to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n
