[1] The Medici I was built in the spring of 1974, and it shared many design elements with Giugiaro's previous Asso Di Picche concept.

The front end of the Medici I was very similar to Giugiaro's 1974 Maserati Coupé 2+2 (also known as Tipo 124), which was the potential successor to the Indy.

The rear also included a bar, refrigerator, desk, and file holder, as well as a television and a radiophone which were futuristic for the time.

[3] The Medici II is considered the stylistic predecessor of the Maserati Quattroporte III, which was produced starting in 1979.

[3] The Medici II was exhibited at the 1976 Paris Motor Show[1] and sold in 1977 to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Persia, who had a fondness for Maserati models.
