Under Citroën’s ownership, Maserati’s range was completely updated in the early 70s with the mid-engined Merak and Bora designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign and the front-engined Khamsin designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. This left a gap for a front-engined four-seat GT. Italdesign’s Maserati Coupé 2+2 was presented at the 1974 Turin Motor Show based on the chassis and mechanics of the Maserati Indy. But the oil crisis of 1973 was adversely affecting Maserati’s sales, and Citroën was facing its own financial crisis, so Italdesign’s coupé remained a one-off.
