Broken Dreams: Maserati Boomerang. Artist’s Proof

In 1971, Maserati, which had been acquired by Citroën in 1968 after the Orsi family relinquished control, presented the Bora, its first series production mid-engine model, powered by a 4,700cc V8 engine, with simple and elegant lines penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro. In the same year at the Turin Motor Show and using the underlying mechanics of the Bora, a 1:1 scale non-functional concept car again designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro was presented – a design so revolutionary it influenced not only the style of all the subsequent creations of the trident but also several other projects of the famous designer. Its name was the Maserati Boomerang.
