Maserati Bora 4.9
Maserati's answer to the mid-engine supercar revolution, the Bora featured stunning Giugiaro styling and a mid-mounted 4.9-liter V8 producing 330 horsepower. Unlike competitors, the Bora emphasized grand touring refinement with a full leather interior, excellent sound insulation, and creature comforts including air conditioning and power-adjustable pedals. The sophisticated chassis delivered superb handling while the ZF transaxle provided precise gear changes. With just 289 examples built, the Bora represents one of the most exclusive and refined Italian supercars of the 1970s.
Check for rust in chassis and body structure. Verify engine and transaxle matching numbers. Service history critical for complex systems. Air conditioning and hydraulic systems often need attention. Pre-purchase inspection by Maserati specialist essential.
289 examples were produced from 1971-1978. Most were 4.9-liter models, though a few early 4.7-liter versions exist. The Bora was Maserati's first mid-engined production car.
