Bora

Maserati moves the engine aft

The Bora is Maserati's first mid-engined road car, built as a grand tourer. Collector questions concern 4.7 or 4.9, European or federal bodywork, functioning Citroën hydraulics, and complete trim and mechanical systems.

How to read this forecast

P50 is the model median. The outer shading spans P10–P90; the darker band spans P25–P75. These are model quantiles, not verified probabilities or observed sale prices. The calculation extends the modeled trend and volatility; it does not include new listings, vehicle condition or transaction costs.

Overview

Citroën ownership produced Maserati's first mid-engined road GT

Maserati showed the Bora at Geneva in March 1971. Giulio Alfieri engineered the monocoque, rear subframe and fully independent suspension; Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign drew the low fastback body.

The 4.7-litre V8 arrived first and the 4.9 followed. Maserati's current heritage table lists 314 examples of the 4.7 and 250 of the 4.9, while several auction catalogues divide the same 564 total as 289 and 275. The total is more stable than the variant split.

The oil crisis restricted demand and planned Group 4 racing did not progress. What survived is a small-production road car whose engineering mixes Maserati's quad-cam V8 with Citroën hydraulics and a cabin intended for long-distance use.
