Maserati Bora 1973
General description :
Highly Original 1973 Maserati BoraThis 1973 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe is a highly original example for straightforward restoration. Attractive metallic blue with tan leather interior, this highly sought-after Bora is just out of long-term ownership and storage. It comes complete and is very straight. Never restored, be the first to have the privilege to do so. Well worth the minimal effort and with a lot of investment potential. The highlight of 1971 Geneva Salon was undoubtedly the sensational new Maserati Bora. Named after a wind, the Bora was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign, at least as far as its body shell was concerned; the mid-mounted engine was Maserati's familiar four-cam V8 in 4.7-litre form, the five-speed transaxle came from ZF and the all-independent double-wishbone suspension was penned by Giulio Alfieri. One of the first 'new generation' models to appear following Maserati's acquisition by Citron, the Bora used the latter's hydraulic technology to adjust seats and pedals, raise the headlamps and operate the excellent power-assisted brakes. A slippery shape plus 310bhp made for a very fast car - top speed was around 160mph - and the Bora had acceleration and handling to match. A rare Italian thoroughbred, this exotic Maserati supercar is a suburb buy! Price $99,500

The iconic Trident logo emerged in the 1920s, symbolizing Maserati's dominance in the racing world. Models like the Tipo 26 and the 250F graced the tracks, with the latter securing Juan Manuel Fangio's Formula One World Championship in 1957.
Act 3: The Road Cars Roar (1960s-1980s)
Maserati transitioned from racetracks to the streets, introducing luxurious grand tourers. The Ghibli, a name evoking the desert wind, and the stunning Bora and Merak, with their mid-engine designs, became symbols of automotive elegance.
