Description from the seller
GENERAL
The vehicle presented here is an exemplar 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 the passage of time has not diminished its character in the slightest; thanks to its twin-turbo configuration, it offers a punch worthy 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 precise moment the turbos kick in. It’s worth noting that, although the odometer shows a specific reading, it cannot be reliably guaranteed that the mileage is accurate.
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 may be deep, they are located in very small areas and are perfectly identifiable, making any future restoration work easier. It is a solid and honest base that does not hide its current condition, ideal for someone looking for a conservation project or gradual aesthetic improvement.
MECÁNICA
The heart of this Maserati is in excellent running condition, showing enviable liveliness and a great responsiveness. The engine starts easily both cold and hot, a clear sign of good mechanical health. A fundamental point in its favor is that it has been maintained by a brand specialist in recent years, which has allowed the car to stay in working order and regularly pass technical inspections (ITV). It has recently undergone a complete overhaul, 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, kept completely original. It shows the natural wear and tear after decades of existence, including some minor damage to materials that can be seen in detail in the attached photographs. The undercarriage remains in generally good condition; though there is some surface rust due to age, nothing compromising the structural integrity of the car is evident.
DOCUMENTACIÓN
The car has its paperwork in order and the recent maintenance history that supports the care received in the specialist workshop. The invoice for the last tune-up, a key document that certifies the recent mechanical investment to ensure proper functioning, is included.
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 arrange transportation or personal collection.
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 exciting driving experience, hard to find in today’s vehicles. Its habitual stay in Madrid has favored overall mechanical conservation, and the fact that it has been under the supervision of Maserati experts makes it a very interesting option for lovers of Italian GT cars with their own personality.

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.

This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
