Description
The 1982 Maserati Biturbo represents a pivotal moment in the history of the Trident marque, marking the brand’s entry into the more accessible segment of sport saloons and sporty coupés. With an elegant, compact design by Pierangelo Andreani, the Biturbo stands out for its clean, well-proportioned lines, *** a classic three-box silhouette enhanced with refined details. A slim grille *** the Trident and square headlamp units give the car a sober yet distinctive look, typical of Maseratis from the 1980s.
The cabin is one of the most distinctive elements of the car, *** defined by a luxurious, carefully considered layout. The interior is finished *** in premium materials, including high-quality velvets or leather, often paired with giltwood inserts that elevate the overall look. The instrumentation is complete and easy to read, while the placement of the controls is designed to deliver comfort and practicality—making time behind the wheel enjoyable both for everyday driving and long journeys.
Under the bonnet sits a 2. 0-litre V6 engine with twin turbochargers—an innovative solution for the time that gives the model its name. Capable of around 184 bhp, this unit delivers lively performance. Mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, it provides a dynamic, engaging drive, with a strong, decisive shove typical of early turbocharged engines.
From a technical standpoint, the Biturbo uses a rear-wheel-drive setup *** suspension engineered to strike a good balance between comfort and sport. The compact platform and restrained weight help it feel agile, while the overall approach prioritises the kind of driving pleasure you expect from Maserati. Today, the 1982 Biturbo is regarded as a historically significant model for the brand, valued for its originality, assertive character, and crucial role in the Modenese company’s commercial comeback.
