1990 Maserati Bi-Turbo Spyder
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 Maserati Bi-turbo
features, as the name implies, a two-litre V6 engine with two
turbochargers and a luxurious interior. The car was designed by
Pierangelo Andreani, an engineer from the De Tomaso team, somewhat
influenced by the design of the newer Quattroporte III (Italdesign
Giugiaro), as can be observed on the front fascia. The Bi-turbo was
initially a strong seller and brought Italian prestige to a wide
audience and competed (unsuccessfully) in the British Touring Car
Championship in the late 1980's, the European Touring Car
Championship and the 1987 World Touring Car Championship. The
Spyder version was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1984 and
was designed and built by the world class designers, Zagato.
Overall 3,076 were built over a ten-year period, setting a
production record for Maserati Spyders.
