Maserati’s design trajectory is characterized by a blend of historical models and modern conceptual visions. The brand’s heritage includes the Merak from the early 1970s, which was developed following Citroen’s majority stake acquisition in 1968 to reach a wider audience than the Bora model.

Recent interest in the brand’s future includes AI-assisted concept renders from Sezer Design for a new Ghibli, depicting a futuristic fastback-style sedan. While these specific renders are unofficial, Maserati and Stellantis have signaled that sedans will remain part of the brand’s future lineup.
