The Maserati marque has challenged the toughest competitors on road & track – as well as in the purely aesthetic stakes. Here is a small handful of our favourites…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bora<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis slice of Masser Muscle isn’t everyone’s idea of a pure bred Italian seventies Italian supercar. But that’s because it isn’t. But we think the Bora’s bloodline benefited greatly from collaboration with French behemoth Citroen. There were all sorts of design flourishes and the addition of a plethora of hydraulically motored refinements that would not have appeared had it not been for the influence of the company’s new bosses. But as well as Gallic quirk crossed with Italian musk, the Bora speaks as much as that unspoken transatlantic admiration for beefiness crossed with subtle design. The paneled Giugiaro body and its overall road presence reminds us of that other cross cultural hybrid the DeTomasa Mangusta \u2013 though the Bora of course transcends the brutishness of the Detomaso heritage. There’s something about those moon-like hubcaps that is so right, too, in the same way that Borrani wires were perfect for the Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
