Discussion
well i’ve just now realised that exists in this site a Maser section. good!! 
i’d like to know a little thing: did you ever drive a Bora? how is it??? i want one!!!! and they say it’s better than a contemporaneous Ferrari, and fulfilling all the GranTurismo ideology, and it’s beautiful, and... anyway.

Funnily enough it's one of my favourite cars of all time! I never owned one, but was able to compare it to my Daytona thanks to a friend who insisted I take it away for a good long blast.
Although the performance may not have been quite as good as the Daytona it won hands down on the grin factor! I didn't tempt fate by over-extending it, but the handling was OK and it was lighter to drive by far.
Fittings and furnishings were better, and it looked a million dollars - the only doubtful aspects were reliability and a poor service network in the UK, and the price!

Yes, I have driven both 4.7 and 4.9 versions and would agree 100% with McNab. A great classic car and I would love to have one in my garage. Also look at the Khamzin, same period, same mechanicals, more Daytona like in my mind. Nealy scraped a customer's Khamzin once because of the Citroen self-centering steering, PAS that centres itself if you let go of the steering wheel, at any speed (even stationary)!
Hi there again,
Thanx for the answers, ppl!
I didn’t knew that peculiar curiosity of that citroen steering system in the Khamzin. At that period both marquees shared a few parts, but mechanical (engine, gear box, differential, transaxle) were always Maserati.
And Bobfrance, if I’m correct, I do have that Classic Car mag – isn’t it that one with a Bora, a Merak, a Countach, a Grifit, and another Lambo in the front? I do have also the Classic Car from the 40 years old of Maserati, but it slightly focus Bora.
And McNab (I envy you!) do you really think its price is such expensive? For what I know a very well preserved Bora never surpasses the 40.000€/ 24.000. well, ok, it isn’t cheap, but I still want one.
