Maserati Merak 3000
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
The Maserati Merak—the quicker, more engaging, and arguably more beautifully resolved sibling to the Maserati Bora—hails from a bloodline blessed with truly exceptional DNA.
Where the Bora carried the weight of a V8, the Merak’s lighter V6 delivers a far more agile and rewarding driving experience. Think elegant thoroughbred rather than heavyweight bruiser. And what a pedigree it is.
Penned by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro—the mind behind icons such as the Saab 9000, BMW M1 and Lotus Esprit—the Merak is every inch a design masterpiece. Quite simply, a résumé few can rival.
Offered here is a 1974 example, powered by the 3.0-litre V6 derived from the Maserati/Citroën SM. Originally supplied new in Italy and in the same dedicated ownership since 2014, it presents exactly as one would hope. The Nero exterior paired with a red interior is a timeless and striking specification.
From behind the wheel, the driving position is pure supercar—low, focused, and engaging—yet with a level of comfort that encourages proper use. And, uniquely, a rear seating area remains; nominal, of course, but enough to qualify this as a true 2+2 and, importantly, add a degree of practicality.
Meticulously maintained throughout its life, this Merak is ready to be enjoyed and appreciated by its next custodian—offering not only driving pleasure, but clear and compelling long-term collectability.
