The Maserati V8 engine family is a series of 90°, four-stroke, naturally-aspirated (later turbocharged), V8 engines, designed, developed and built by Italian manufacturer Maserati for almost 45 consecutive years. A racing variant first appeared in 1939, with the V8RI, and a road-going version was later introduced with the Maserati 5000 GT in 1959, and later ending with the Maserati 3200 GT, in 2002. The engines ranged in displacement from {{cvt|3.2-6.46|L|cuin}}, and production continued until 2002. It was later succeeded by (but not to be confused with) the Ferrari-Maserati engine; a separate engine, completely designed, developed and produced by Ferrari, but used in several Maserati models.{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Maserati|title=Maserati | History, Products, & Facts | Britannica|website=www.britannica.com}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/menotti12.htm|title=Maserati Engines II|website=www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercars.net/blog/all-brands/maserati/maserati-model-list/|title=Maserati Model List: Every Maserati, Every Year / SC}}{{cite web|url=https://norskmaseratiklubb.no/onewebmedia/Maserati%205000Trident_.pdf|title=Maserati 5000 GT Twin Ignition V8 engine|access-date=26 June 2022}}
