Maserati In India Review
Maserati In India Officine Alfieri Maserati was founded on 1 December 1914 in Bologna, Italy. Since then, Maserati has played a consistently important role in the history of sports car culture and its development.
Nearly a century of activity has brought with it glorious achievements both on the road and the track as well as more challenging times, which have helped forge the company’s character and personality.
This section brings you all of the most important milestones in the story of the Maserati marque. These include the 246.029 km/h world speed record set by Borzacchini in 1929, the 1957 F1 World Championship title won by Fangio at the wheel of the 250F, and the more recent launch of the new 405 bhp GranTurismo in Geneva in March 2007.
However, Maserati’s history involves more than its glorious sporting achievements and the launch of great road cars. The company has also developed industrially over the years.
Today our pride is reflected in the values that define the marque - innovation in the management of human resources and the working environment, and transparency in customer relations.
Its relocation from Bologna to the current site in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena, in 1940 and its acquisition by Ferrari, completed in 1997, are just two examples of the many major events in the development of Maserati’s expansion strategies and the launch of its new cars.
Maserati is a marque that began life in a local context but then went on to become a major international player, with representation in 43 countries. In this section, you can relive Maserati’s enthralling history and get to know the people, achievements and cars which have made the marque famous

2012 peugeot 508 hot car
2012 peugeot 508Peugeot will be looking to take on Audi's 'allroad' tradition with this new 508 SW Allroad, spied doing some winter testing in northern Europe. It seems Peugeot wants to add a third variant to the 508 range, aside from the 4-door sedan and 5-door SW (wagon) variants, to compete against the allroad offerings of Audi's A4 and A6 models. This new 508 SW Allroad may also be sharing technology with the bulky and heavily camouflaged DS5 we spotted testing a few weeks ago too. Powering the 508 SW Allroad will likely be the heftier power plants in the Peugeot range. Those will include the 2.0 liter Hdi diesel with 163 PS (120 kW / 160 bhp) and the 3.0 liter V6 Hdi with 240 PS (177 kW / 237 bhp) on the diesel side. For the petrol, perhaps the 1.6 liter THP with 200 PS (147 kW / 197 bhp). What we don't know is whether this allroader will come with Peugeot's Hybrid4 technology which couples the 163 PS 2.0 liter Hdi unit with a 37 PS (28 kW / 36 bhp) electric motor on the rear axle for all-wheel drive capability. Peugeot's only other all-wheel drive model is the 4007 SUV. Source: World Car Fans

It's the 508 that’s loading up on style! If practicality is key for you, Peugeot offers this SW estate model, which boasts 660 litres of boot space – but thanks to one-touch controls mounted in the boot, the rear seats can be folded down to create a load area of 1,865 litres. That’s a massive 224 litres more than the new VW Passat Estate and 132 litres over the Ford Mondeo Estate.
There’s a host of clever touches elsewhere, too, including an optional motorised tailgate, one-touch tonneau cover, a hidden compartment underneath the boot floor and a huge panoramic sunroof.

It's the 508 that’s loading up on style! If practicality is key for you, Peugeot offers this SW estate model, which boasts 660 litres of boot space – but thanks to one-touch controls mounted in the boot, the rear seats can be folded down to create a load area of 1,865 litres. That’s a massive 224 litres more than the new VW Passat Estate and 132 litres over the Ford Mondeo Estate.
There’s a host of clever touches elsewhere, too, including an optional motorised tailgate, one-touch tonneau cover, a hidden compartment underneath the boot floor and a huge panoramic sunroof.
Space for passengers is the same as in the saloon, but the sunroof creates the illusion of a far more airy cabin for both front and rear passengers.
From the front, the estate looks like its saloon counterpart, but a swooping roofline gives the SW a ‘shooting brake’ appearance, while new rear lights further differentiate the load carrier.
The design is so successful that we think the estate is the better looking of the two models.
The SW weighs 1,780kg – which is 44kg more than the saloon – and, on the road, there are a few subtle differences in the two driving experiences. The GT model, fitted with the same 2.2-litre diesel engine as the saloon, feels marginally slower to respond, but still posts an impressive 0-62mph time of 8.4 seconds – a mere 0.2 seconds down on the saloon.
The extra weight makes the SW less efficient too, with CO2 emissions of 154g/km.
That moves this version into a higher tax bracket costing a total of £155 a year – an extra £30 over the saloon. Fuel economy has also worsened slightly by 1.8mpg at 47.8mpg.
In corners, the SW rolls more than the saloon, but the steering is just as direct and responsive, and there’s a healthy amount of feedback from the front wheels. It still feels agile, but it’s not quite as sharp.
The extra weight does mean there is a slight harshness to the ride that you don’t get with the saloon, but it’s still a very capable and comfortable cruiser.
The SW is a highly capable all-rounder that boasts a huge boot, comfortable ride and impressive refinement. But, as with the saloon, it comes at a price – top-spec GT models cost £29,975.
There’s a host of clever touches elsewhere, too, including an optional motorised tailgate, one-touch tonneau cover, a hidden compartment underneath the boot floor and a huge panoramic sunroof.
