What is the Trident car?
1 Answers
The trident is the emblem of Maserati. Maserati is an Italian luxury car manufacturer, and today's new Maserati coupe series embodies Italy's top coupe manufacturing technology, as well as the perfect combination of Italian design aesthetics and high-quality craftsmanship design thinking. Origin of the name: The name originates from an ordinary family in Voghera, Italy, where train driver Rodolfo Maserati and his wife raised six boys: Carlo, Bindo, Alfieri, Ettore, Ernesto, and Mario. All six children participated in promoting the construction and development of the now world-famous Maserati sports car brand. Brand history: The first Maserati car adorned with the trident emblem appeared in the Targa Florio race on April 25, 1926. Driven by Alfieri, this Maserati Tipo 26 car was entirely designed and manufactured by the Maserati brothers, featuring a 1.5-liter inline eight-cylinder engine with a top speed of 100 mph. Alfieri's younger brother Mario designed the miniature emblem as a trident placed on a leaf-shaped base, inspired by the city emblem of Bologna, where the company was located—Neptune, the sea god, holding his mighty weapon, the trident, symbolizing the tremendous impact Maserati would make upon its debut. On its first appearance, Maserati won the Targa Florio race. Later, as the Type 26 achieved consecutive victories in various competitions, Maserati began considering the production of racing cars. Over the next decade, Maserati successively introduced classic models such as the Tipo 26B, Maserati V4, Maserati 4CTR, and Maserati 4CL, winning races like the 'Italian GP' and 'Tripoli GP' through the perfect combination of performance and quality.
