- Colour
- 'Rosso Fuoco' (fire red)
A 1978 Maserati Bora 4.9 finished in Rosso Fuoco over black, this U.S.-specification example is among only 250 built with the more powerful 4.9-litre V-8 engine. Manufactured on 27 July 1978, it features Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign bodywork, a ZF five-speed gearbox, and the distinctive Citroën hydro-pneumatic system. Its odometer reads just 801 miles and original door-card protective plastic remains in place, suggesting exceptionally low use throughout its life.
