Italian automaker Maserati is continuing its Centennial Celebration June 26-29 with a parade and the brand's largest ever display of cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The Maserati Alfieri Concept is pegged as the headlining model alongside vehicles that span the brand's history. The festival has allotted the brand its own class called "100 Years of Maserati" to honor the achievement.

Maserati is also honoring its centennial with an exhibit at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. The exhibition rewinds through the past 100 years of the most important road and racing cars from the brand (see story).

Other brands are gearing up for the Goodwood Festival of Speed. For example, Mercedes-Benz is embracing the festival nature of Goodwood with a range of carnival-like activities. For instance, the brand is allowing fans to drive its Grand Turismo concept car via Sony PlayStation 3s (see story).
