As an imperial request from the Shah of Iran, the 5000 GT was built by Maserati as their flagship model. It combines Maserati’s standard chassis with the potent 4.5-liter V8 from the 450 sports race car. Bodied by the best coach builders in Italy, this model became the best Grand Tourer on the market. Famous owners included Fiat-boss Giovanni Angnelli, Briggs Cunningham and King Saud of Saudi Arabia.
