Maserati 5000 GT: A Significant Automobile

By Maurice Khawan

Author Maurice Khawam traces the design and development history of the Maserati 5000 GT, by first setting the scene with a technical description and brief competition history of the V8-engined Maserati racecars and a summary of the economic realities that forced the cancellation of the racing program and the resultant surplus of V8 engines that found their way into Maserati’s roadgoing GT.

The book presents the entire design and development history of the 5000 GT along with technical specs. Aside from minor mechanical differences, it is the custom coachwork by eight different stylists that distinguishes these cars from each other and also from other cars of the time. It is on this subject that the book advances the body of knowledge the most. Based on a thorough examination of factory records and correspondence with owners the author is able to describe each and every chassis in great detail, with supporting illustrations.

Promoted as the only book on the 5000GT, this work will be a must-have for any Maserati enthusiast.
