Description
The 1990 Maserati 222 Biturbo embodies the spirit of Italian engineering and design, offering a unique combination of performance, luxury, and distinctive style. This particular model stands out in the final stretch of the Biturbo lineup and features all the refinements and improvements over the original Biturbo, launched in the early 1980s. The 222 designation signifies a 2, 000cc, twin-turbo, twin-port engine with a special fuel injection system, marking a significant improvement in both performance and reliability.
The Maserati 222 is recognized for its elegant lines and sporty stance. The anthracite Maserati and Biturbo emblems and the distinctive Maserati trident on the grille highlight its prestigious lineage.
Inside, the cabin offers a blend of luxury and sportiness. The interior is upholstered in high-quality Alcantara and wood, creating a comfortable and refined environment. The sports seats are designed to provide support during dynamic driving, while still offering the comfort expected of a luxury vehicle.
Under the hood, this 222 is equipped with a 2. 0-liter V6 engine equipped with twin turbochargers, capable of producing significant power and torque. This, combined with the ZF 5-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, provides an engaging and thrilling driving experience, truly worthy of the Maserati name.
Steering:
The Maserati 222 is known for its precise steering, making it a pleasure to drive on winding roads. The suspension system is tuned to balance sporty response with ride comfort, allowing the driver to enjoy the best of both worlds. Despite its luxurious amenities, the car has a vigorous character that encourages enthusiastic driving.
This 222 is in very good condition. Originally a Portuguese car, it has only 110, 000 kilometers since new and has a certificate of historical importance, exempting it from inspections and any type of tax. It has been very well maintained and recently received a complete overhaul, including distribution and overhaul of all electrical components. It was repainted in its original color a few years ago and still looks impeccable.
The 220 hp output guarantees quite respectable performance for a compact car, which is actually smaller than a BMW 3 Series from the same period. The BMW comparison is no coincidence, as Maserati used several BMW parts in its car.
Biturbo models ensured Maserati's survival, from the Gran Turismo models of the 1970s to the Ferrari acquisition and the Maserati models we know today. With a mixed reputation (sometimes deserved, sometimes not), they were always compact and drove well. Problems were often electrical due to poor connections, while the mechanical quality was actually quite good. Maserati has always produced excellent motorsport-based engines, and the Biturbo's transmission, made by German manufacturer ZF, is rock-solid.
The first Maserati Biturbos with carburetors were known for their temperament and difficulty starting when hot. However, later fuel-injected models, like this 1990 222, were much easier to live with. This engine's output is 220 hp – it could be boosted to as much as 330 hp or even more for racing purposes.
