The Maserati Mexico"s design derived from a 2+2 prototype bodywork shown on the Vignale stand at the October 1965 Salone di Torino [2] and built upon a 4.9-litre 5000 GT chassis, [3] rebodied after it had been damaged. As the car after the show was sold to Mexican president Adolfo López Mateos , the model became known as the Mexico. [4] By coincidence, John Surtees won the Mexican Grand Prix on a Cooper-Maserati T81 the following year. [4] Vignale"s prototype was so well received that Maserati immediately made plans to put a version into production. The production Maserati Mexico debuted in August 1966 at the 20° Concorso internazionale di eleganza per auto in Rimini , [5] while its international première was at the October Paris Motor Show . It was built on the first generation Quattroporte chassis with a wheelbase shortened by 11 cm (4.3 in). Originally powered by a 4.7-litre 90° V8 fed by four twin-choke 38 DCNL5 Weber carburetors that produced 290 bhp, the car managed to turn out a top speed between 240–250 km/h (149–155 mph). In 1969, however, contrary to Maserati tradition, the Mexico was also made available with a smaller engine, the 4.2-litre V8 engine.
