Maserati Biturbo 222, year 1989.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL
The vehicle presented is an exponent of Maserati's bold Biturbo era, a saga that began in the early 1980s under the direction of Alejandro de Tomaso with the aim of combining Italian artisanal luxury with explosive performance. This coupe stands out as a car of pure sensations, where time has not dimmed its character in the least; thanks to its twin-turbo configuration, it offers a surge typical of much more modern sports cars. It is a model that requires an enthusiastic driver who values the visceral power delivery that occurs at the exact moment the turbos come online. It is worth mentioning that, although the odometer shows a specific reading, it cannot be reliably guaranteed that the mileage is real.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA
The bodywork retains a notable shine that enhances its angular lines designed by Pierangelo Andreani. However, the car shows its patina of time and requires attention at certain specific points where rust spots have appeared. While some could be deep, they are located in very small areas and are perfectly identified, which facilitates any future remediation work. It is a solid and honest base that does not hide its current state, ideal for someone looking for a conservation project or gradual aesthetic improvement.
MECÁNICA
The heart of this Maserati is in excellent working condition, showing enviable brio and a great responsiveness. The engine starts easily both cold and hot, unmistakable evidence of good mechanical health. A fundamental point in its favor is that it has been serviced by a brand specialist in recent years, which has allowed the car to be kept in good running order and regularly pass technical inspections (ITV). It has recently undergone a complete tune-up, for which the invoice is provided for the buyer's peace of mind.
INTERIOR
The cabin is an example of late 20th-century Italian opulence, remaining completely original. It shows the logical and natural wear after decades of existence, including some small damage to the materials that can be seen in detail in the attached photographs. The underbody of the vehicle remains in good overall condition; although it shows some superficial rust due to age, nothing is visible that compromises the structural integrity of the car.
DOCUMENTACIÓN
The car has its documents in order and the recent maintenance history that supports the care it has received at the specialist workshop. The invoice for the last tune-up performed is included, a key document certifying the recent mechanical investment to ensure proper operation.
RECOGIDA
This unit is located in Madrid, Spain. Once the vehicle is awarded, the new owner will have a period of ten days of free storage in our facilities to manage transport arrangements or personal pickup.
OTRA INFORMACIÓN
This Maserati Biturbo represents an entry opportunity into the exclusive world of the Trident brand. It is a car that offers an analog and thrilling driving experience, hard to find in current vehicles. Its usual stay in Madrid has favored the general mechanical preservation, and the fact that it has been under expert Maserati hands makes it a very interesting option for lovers of Italian GTs with their own personality.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
