1971\u21921978 Maserati Bora<\/h1>\n

Powered by Maserati\u2019s proven 90\u00b0 V8, the Bora was a true supercar which promised 170 mph performance. It was Maerati’s first mid-engine car and debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1971. Not long afterward, Maserati went into full production of this car which introduced many new ideas to the Maserati brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the success of the Ghibli, Maserati once again turned to Giorgetto Giugiaro and his newly founded Italdesign studio to style the new model named after a brisk breeze off of the Eastern Adriatic coast. Pietro Frua also submitted a full-size mock-up, but Giugiaro\u2019s proposal proved to better encapsulate the modern era whilst concurrently fitting in harmoniously with other models in the range. The bodies were produced in Modena by Officine Padane. The 5-speed ZF gearbox was mounted in a sub-frame together with the rear suspension.<\/p>\n

With Maserati now under Citro\u00ebn ownership, the Bora made use of the French manufacturer\u2019s hydrualic system that operated the brakes, pop-up headlamps, driver seat and the adjustable pedal block. The 310 hp output (300 hp in America due to restrictions on emissions) permitted a top speed of 260 km\/h (162 mph). At the end of 1971 Giugiaro presented a seminal concept car based on the Bora: the Boomerang.<\/p>\n

564 Boras rolled of the production line in eight years, nearly half of them in the 4.9 guise. Amongst original Bora owners was long-time Maserati customer Karim Aga Khan and movie producer Carlo Ponti, Sophia Loren\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n

A racing version of the Bora was developed in 1973 following the French importer Thepenier\u2019s request to compete in Group Four, but at that time \u2013 and after extracting over 430 hp from the car \u2013 Maserati could not reach the production figure of 500 cars required to obtain its homologation. The oil crisis, combined with new tax restrictions passed by the Italian government, had, in effect, significantly reduced the market for such high performance cars. Production of the Bora stopped in 1978.<\/p>\n

977 Maserati Bora Coupe Barn Find with 978 miles<\/a> – sold for $92,500<\/b> Completing this astounding trio is yet another timeless Italian exotic, a 1977 Maserati Bora 4.9. Maserati\u2019s first mid-engine supercar, the Bora features Giorgetto Giugiaro\u2019s famous wedge-shaped design, whose aerodynamics enabled a top speed of over 170 MPH, helped in no small part by a powerful 4.9 liter V-8 backed by a 5-speed ZF gearbox. But the most amazing feature in this case the fact that it has been driven a mere 900 miles. Documentwith the original factory window sticker, it was purchased new at Randy\u2019s Motors of Clifton, New Jersey for the then-princely sum of $38,940 and delivered to its new home in Baltimore. Thirty years of dust have been swept away to reveal the car\u2019s luminous original Blue Metallic finish and immaculate Black leather cockpit.<\/p>\n

Entirely original, almost perfectly preserved and virtually untouched: like its Ferrari stable mates, this incredible Maserati Bora may be the definitive example of its kind.

Benefiting from single ownership since the 1970s and from the first year of 4.9-liter availability, this 1975 Bora is nicely presented throughout and features a highly desirable red-on-black color scheme. With only about 24,000 miles, this corrosion-free example benefits from a new water pump, and marque experts have freshly rebuilt the hydraulics.

1975 Maserati Bora<\/a> – sold for $48,400<\/b> Finished in blue with a contrasting white interior, this Bora retains its original engine and includes power steering. It was restored during the mid-1990s, and since 2000, it was driven approximately 200 miles each year. It has been updated over the succeeding years, with the brakes and hydraulics having been replaced in 2001, among various other improvements. From 2003 to 2009, the Bora was displayed at the Lane Motor Museum and maintained<\/p>\n

under museum quality conditions.<\/p>\n

\n

Upon its launch, former Ferrari driver, Le Mans winner and journalist Paul Fr\u00e8re described the Maserati Bora in these terms: \u201cThe Bora is one of the fastest cars on the market at the moment, but its charm lies mostly in the tranquil ease with which it reveals its prowess. A true aristocrat, indeed.\u201d Just 530 Bora GT coupes were built from 1971 to 1978, making this Italian supercar very rare indeed. In fact, it is one of only about 28 Boras imported to the U.S. in 1975.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
