After many years of racing, Maserati launched its first road-going model in 1957. The 3500 GT (Gran Turismo) was available in coupe, designed by Touring, or in convertible, designed by Vignale. As the model name suggests, the engine is a 3.5-litre 6-cylinder. The 3500 was produced until 1964 and its platform was used for the 5000 GT.
