Maserati will celebrate 100 years since the Trident emblem first appeared on a racing car in 2026.

Maserati will celebrate 100 years in 2026 since the Trident emblem first appeared on a racing car. The Italian manufacturer's identity has been shaped by competition and engineering ambition, with its performance credentials forged on racetracks.

The company was founded in Bologna in 1914 by Alfieri Maserati and his brothers. The racing legend was truly established in 1926 when the Maserati Tipo 26 made its competition debut at the Targa Florio in Sicily, with Alfieri Maserati behind the wheel. The car carried the now-famous Trident emblem, inspired by Neptune's statue in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore.

This racing heritage remains central to Maserati's modern identity. Today it is evident in models such as the MC20 supercar and the Grecale Trofeo SUV, which is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 derived from the MC20's engine architecture.
