The seller offers for sale a 1987 Maserati Biturbo Cabriolet, a classic Italian sports car that combines performance and elegance. Powered by a 2.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, this model offers a dynamic driving experience, further enhanced by its manual transmission. The odometer reads 165,000 km, though the mileage is not officially guaranteed.
The exterior presents well, with only minor chips and scratches that may require minimal paint correction. The bodywork remains straight, showing no significant dents or damage. The convertible top adds to its appeal, making it an excellent choice for open-air driving enthusiasts. The interior is clean, with minimal wear, though some minor replacements may be needed for small missing or broken parts. The car currently has no valid inspection.
Introduced in 1981, the Maserati Biturbo was designed to be a more accessible luxury sports car, making high-performance Italian engineering available to a broader audience. The Biturbo was among the first production cars to feature twin turbochargers, a technology that later became common in performance vehicles. Maserati aimed to rival brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz by offering an elegant, high-powered alternative with a distinctive Italian character.
The Biturbo Cabriolet variant, introduced in the mid-1980s, was styled by Zagato, featuring a soft-top design that added to its desirability. The 2.5-liter V6 engine, combined with twin turbochargers, delivered a unique balance of power and refinement, though early models were known for their mechanical complexity. Over time, the Biturbo developed a reputation for being a rewarding yet demanding vehicle, requiring careful maintenance to keep it in optimal condition.
Despite its mixed legacy, the Biturbo remains a significant chapter in Maserati’s history. It represented a shift toward more commercially viable sports cars, helping the brand survive during financially challenging years. Today, well-maintained examples are becoming sought-after by collectors who appreciate their blend of performance, craftsmanship, and rarity.
The car has several imperfections that should be noted. While the bodywork is in good condition, minor chips and scratches may require attention. The lighting system, including indicators and brake lights, is currently non-functional and will need repairs. The car does not have a valid inspection, so potential buyers should consider any necessary work to bring it up to local roadworthy standards.
