Maserati Bi Turbo V6 Coupe 1987
Specifications
Description
The Maserati Biturbo is a sports car introduced by Maserati in 1981. The Biturbo is a two-door, four-seater notchback coupe featuring, as the name implies, a 2.5ltr V6 engine with two turbochargers and a luxurious interior. The car was designed by Pierangelo Andreani, an engineer from the De Tomaso team.
All Maserati coupe models from the Biturbo's introduction in 1981 until 1997 were based on the original Biturbo architecture. When Alejandro De Tomaso acquired Maserati in 1976, he had ambitious plans for the marque. His plan was to combine the prestige of the Maserati brand with a sports car that would be more affordable than the earlier high-priced models that had traditionally made up the Maserati range.
The Biturbo was a strong seller and brought Italian prestige to a worldwide audience, with sales of about 40,000 units. De Tomaso later sold Maserati to Fiat, who grouped the company with their erstwhile rival Ferrari.
The aluminum 90-degree SOHC V6 engine was roughly based on the 2.0 L Merak engine, itself based on earlier V8 Formula One Maserati engines, designed by Giulio Alfieri. Fuel injection was fitted in 1987 raising power to 187 hp (139 kW).
I am often asked to reveal my favourite car. Having owned four of these beauties, traveled distances, crossed countries and even enjoyed one as a daily driver - the Maserati Bi Turbo ranks VERY HIGH on my ‘favourite car' list.
IMMENSE POWER and the MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND – these are cars designed with absolute passion. They are comfortable to drive and the most beautiful thing about them is that they are very understated. A MUST HAVE to every true to the heart car enthusiast.
You can go anywhere with this car without being noticed and I can guarantee that driving this car will bring a smile to even the most depressed soul on the planet but its not for everyone. In the wrong hands, this car is an accident waiting to happen.
Like all of my cars, this is a special car and those who know me by now are well aware that I don't sell my cars to just everyone.
RARE in New Zealand, this car also has some provenance having been owned by a prominent New Zealand figure. I would recommend it to a mature and responsible person looking for something rare and different to drive around town everyday, weekends or special occasions or simply to cruise around with in our beautiful countryside.
STUNNING Motor. VERY GOOD Paint & VERY STRAIGHT Body – NO RUST. IMMACULATE Interior.

If you choose not to obtain such assessment, then the purchase is on your own judgment, and NOT in reliance on any representation made by us.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
