Maserati turns 100 this year, and as part of the celebrations the Italian automaker has rolled out the stunning Alfieri concept car at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show taking place today. The concept is a 2+2 coupe and is named after Alfieri Maserati, who, in 1914 with the help of his four brothers, started the Maserati company.
