Elegance in its purest form: The Maserati Bora – a masterpiece by Giorgetto Giugiaro
The pen of Italian design genius Giorgetto Giugiaro conjured up Maserati’s first mid-engine road sports car on the asphalt – a timeless sculpture that impresses to this day with its clarity and balanced proportions. Conceived as an answer to greats like the Ferrari 365 BB or the Lamborghini Miura, the Bora proved to be a lifeline for Maserati in the early 70s, keeping the company alive. The alliance with Citroën during the Bora’s development period left valuable traces, including a remarkably sensitive braking system that became a trademark for Bora drivers.
This 4. 9-litre Bora was handed over to its first owner Robert Kleinberg in Texas in 1973. But the car found its way back to Europe as early as 1990, when a Frankfurt lawyer claimed it for himself. It was this lawyer who, in 1996, commissioned the experts at Candini in Modena to transform the Bora into a European look – a transformation that only increased its appeal. In 2001, the engine and technology also underwent an overhaul at Candini.
Since 2014, this Bora, which is in excellent condition, has been in the hands of a Maserati collector. Its uniqueness has been preserved through meticulous care and maintenance. Its excellent condition and meticulous documentation make it a desirable trophy for collectors and enthusiasts.
Experience the Maserati Bora, a symbiosis of timeless design and captivating performance, and an ode to the art of automotive craftsmanship.
