At the Paris Motor Show of 1976, Italdesign presented the Medici II, evolution of the Medici I exhibited 2 years earlier in Turin. Giugiaro, dissatisfied with the first version’s overly slanted front end, that threw the side way off balance, he reproportioned the car. After a large number of stylistic changes and the development of new mechanics, the Maserati Medici’s II design was actually the foundation for the third generation of the Maserati Quattroporte.
