Maserati's first mid-engine production car, carrying a 4.9L V-8 mounted longitudinally, with 4 Weber carbs. Citroen hydraulics control the brakes, headlights (raise/lower), seat height adjustment, and pedal set, which slides forward or back to suit the driver. I recently upgraded the cooling system with a new Fluidyne radiator, dual SPAL fans, an original lip spoiler, and additional cooling holes in the lower valence. I've owned the car > 10 years, and it's always a blast to drive.

Watch a cool Bora video

Trunk space is really good for a mid-engine car. Engine sits right behind your head. However, Maserati used dual-pane glass to deaden the sound (somewhat).

Here's the new radiator and cooling fans. Unfortunately, the SPAL fans eat 28 amps, and the old alternator can't keep up.

Here's the old alternator next to the new 140-amp alternator. A little fabrication to fit the new alternator, and we're back in business.
