The Maserati Bora is one of the most interesting performance cars of its era: a mid-mounted V8, a low-slung shape and advanced engineering for the 1970s. Built to take on the period’s most exotic rivals, it is now seen as a rare alternative to the usual classic Ferraris.
On the road it stands out for its driving position, strong pull and manners that are more usable than you might expect from such an extreme machine. It combines style, engineering and personality, which is why its historic appeal keeps growing.
