Behold: the 1959 Maserati 5000 GT Coupe – nicknamed the ’Shah of Persia’ after the man who commissioned it the previous year.
The 5000GT is a 5.0l, V8 version of the similarly sleek 3500GT with a superlight aluminium chassis and bodywork designed by Carrozzeria Touring.
One of the rarest Maseratis, only 34 were ever built and you can’t have this one. It’s only for looking at.
