The little Bolognese firm succeeded In what Flat, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, and Bugatti failed. The same car, again driven by Wilbur Shaw, won the 1940 Indy edition too and entered the automobile legend as for the first time in the most important American race history a car won two editions. To remember these triumphs, Maserati called "Indy" the car Introduced at the 1968 Turin Motor Show. The Indy was the obvious evolution of the Mexico, that is a fast coupe also comfortable for four people. During the production years, the most important modifications concerned the engine; In 1970 it was enlarged to 4.700cc and the car got the name Indy America; since 1973 only the version fitted with the 4.900cc engine (the same unit already fitted to the Ghibli SS) remained In production. Indy had a good sale success and was produced also after the Citroen took over the Modenese company.
