Description
The Maserati Merak — the faster, more playful sister, and perhaps even more elegant than the Maserati Bora, hailing from a lineage with an unrivalled pedigree.
While the Bora was equipped with a V8, the Merak opted for a lighter V6, giving it substantially superior handling.
An elegant dancer beside the family’s imposing muscleman.
Let us take a moment to appreciate this impressive lineage.
The Merak is the work of none other than Giorgetto Giugiaro, the legend also responsible for icons such as the Saab 9000, the BMW M1, the Lotus Esprit, and yes, even the Nikon D8.
An impressive résumé, to say the least.
But I digress.
In front of you is a Merak, born in 1974, powered by a 3. 0‑litre engine derived from the 2. 7‑litre unit from the Citroën **.
This beauty was originally delivered in Italy and has proudly belonged to its current owner since 2014.
The combination of the black bodywork and the red interior is simply breathtaking.
Once the door is opened and seated aboard, the dashboard greets you with a design that closely resembles that of the **.
The driving position evokes that of a proper race car, while remaining surprisingly comfortable.
And then a rear view — and yes, a bench seat! Admittedly it suits hamsters more than humans, but it is indeed a 2+2, which is defensible at home!
She has always been meticulously maintained and is ready to charm a new owner.
