Curb weight, gross weight, tank size, wheel sizes, 0–100, top speed, and fuel consumption are not measured for this model in the source data. Searches such as “Maserati Indy 4900”, “Indy 4700”, “Indy horsepower”, and “Indy specs” map to these three named versions, not to extra body styles or extra generations.

Generations

1 generation (1969–1974)

1 generation of the Maserati Indy is the only generation in the data. It starts 1969-01-01 and stops 1974-12-31. The body type is Coupe. This generation has 3 versions: 4.1 MT, 4.7 MT, and 4.9 MT. Each of those three versions is dated the same window as the generation: 1969-01-01 to 1974-12-31. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation.

Chassis items that are the same across all three versions of 1 generation: front suspension Independent, spring; rear suspension Dependent, leaf spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes not measured; ground clearance 120 mm; drive RWD; gearbox Manual with 5 gears; boost No.

Engines and specs

Engine layout is not the same on every Indy. 4.1 MT and 4.7 MT are 4-cylinder Inline engines. 4.9 MT is an 8-cylinder V-shaped engine. Valves per cylinder are 2 on all three. Engine position is not measured. Fuel is 92 on 4.1 MT and 4.7 MT, and 95 on 4.9 MT.

Queries for “Maserati Indy 4700” line up with this 4.7 MT displacement of 4719 cc, not with a separately named body.

4.9 MT engine

4.9 MT is a Gasoline engine of 4930 cc. Output is 320 hp (235 kW) at 5600 rpm. Torque is 402 Nm at 3000 rpm — the only Indy version in this data with a measured torque figure. Cylinders: 8, layout: V-shaped, valves per cylinder: 2, boost: No. Fuel system: Carburetor. Compression ratio: 9.5. Bore × stroke: 93.9 × 89. Fuel grade: 95. Gearbox: Manual, 5 gears, drive: RWD.

Performance and economy

Acceleration to 100 km/h is not measured for 4.1 MT, 4.7 MT, and 4.9 MT. Top speed is not measured for 4.1 MT, 4.7 MT, and 4.9 MT. City fuel consumption is not measured. Highway fuel consumption is not measured. Combined fuel consumption (mpg / mixed cycle) is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured.

What is measured on the power side is peak output and, on 4.9 MT only, torque. 4.1 MT peaks at 265 hp / 195 kW at 5500 rpm. 4.7 MT peaks at 290 hp / 213 kW at 5500 rpm — 25 hp and 18 kW more than 4.1 MT, at the same rpm. 4.9 MT peaks at 320 hp / 235 kW at 5600 rpm — 30 hp and 22 kW more than 4.7 MT, and 55 hp and 40 kW more than 4.1 MT. Peak power rpm on 4.9 MT is 100 rpm higher than on the two 4-cylinder versions. 4.9 MT torque is 402 Nm at 3000 rpm; the other two versions have torque not measured, so a Nm ranking among all three cannot be completed from this data.

Dimensions and weight

Kerb weight is not measured for 4.1 MT, 4.7 MT, and 4.9 MT. Gross vehicle weight is not measured for all three. Fuel tank capacity is not measured for all three. Wheel sizes are not measured for all three. Overall length, width, height, and wheelbase are not measured in this dataset.

Ground clearance is measured: 120 mm on 4.1 MT, 120 mm on 4.7 MT, and 120 mm on 4.9 MT. There is no clearance difference between versions.

Front suspension on all three versions: Independent, spring. Rear suspension on all three: Dependent, leaf spring. Front brakes on all three: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: not measured.

Reliability and what the specs do and do not show

This catalogue does not include failure rates, service intervals, or a written reliability score. “Maserati Indy reliability” therefore cannot be answered with a percentage or a ranking from these fields. What the data does show is a shared mechanical pattern: Carburetor Gasoline engines, No boost, Manual 5-speed, RWD, Independent, spring front and Dependent, leaf spring rear, Ventilated disc at the front, 120 mm clearance. Differences that are in the numbers are engine size, cylinder count, layout, compression, fuel grade, and power — not a different gearbox type or a different drive type.

A comparison with other cars people search (“Indy vs Ghibli”, “Indy vs Lamborghini Espada”) is not in this dataset: those models are not present here, so no horsepower, weight, or dimension deltas versus them can be stated.

Which version to choose

All three versions of the Maserati Indy in this catalogue are Coupe, 1 generation, 1969-01-011974-12-31, Manual 5, RWD, Gasoline, Carburetor, No boost, 2 valves per cylinder, 120 mm clearance. Choice is therefore engine and output, not body, years, gearbox, or drive.

4.1 MT is the smallest and least powerful listed Indy: 4136 cc, 4 Inline cylinders, 265 hp (195 kW) at 5500 rpm, compression 8.5, bore × stroke 88 × 85, fuel 92. Torque is not measured. Versus 4.7 MT it has 583 cc less displacement (4136 vs 4719), 25 hp less (265 vs 290), and 18 kW less (195 vs 213). Bore is smaller (88 vs 93.9) with the same stroke (85). Compression is the same (8.5). Cylinder count and layout are the same (4, Inline).

4.7 MT sits in the middle on displacement and power: 4719 cc, 4 Inline, 290 hp (213 kW) at 5500 rpm, compression 8.5, bore × stroke 93.9 × 85, fuel 92. Torque is not measured. Versus 4.9 MT it has 211 cc less (4719 vs 4930), 30 hp less (290 vs 320), and 22 kW less (213 vs 235). It uses 4 cylinders Inline where 4.9 MT uses 8 cylinders V-shaped. Compression is 1.0 lower (8.5 vs 9.5). Fuel grade is 92 versus 95. Stroke is shorter (85 vs 89) at the same bore (93.9).

4.9 MT is the highest-output version in the data: 4930 cc, 8 V-shaped cylinders, 320 hp (235 kW) at 5600 rpm, 402 Nm at 3000 rpm, compression 9.5, bore × stroke 93.9 × 89, fuel 95. Versus 4.1 MT it has 794 cc more (4930 vs 4136), 55 hp more (320 vs 265), 40 kW more (235 vs 195), twice the cylinder count (8 vs 4), a V-shaped layout instead of Inline, compression 1.0 higher (9.5 vs 8.5), and fuel 95 instead of 92. It is also the only version with measured torque (402 Nm).

If the requirement is the lowest listed horsepower and the smallest listed displacement, 4.1 MT matches that (265 hp, 4136 cc). If the requirement is a 4-cylinder Inline with more displacement and power than 4.1 MT, 4.7 MT is 290 hp and 4719 cc. If the requirement is peak listed power, the only measured torque figure, 8 V-shaped cylinders, and 95 fuel, 4.9 MT is the match (320 hp, 402 Nm, 4930 cc). Weight, 0–100, top speed, mpg, tank, and wheel size cannot break the tie: those fields are not measured on every version.
