A rare Maserati Karif-a model celebrated for its plush interior, twin-turbo V6 engine, and manual gearbox-is currently up for auction, presenting a unique prospect for collectors seeking a distinctive classic.Few examples of the BiTurbo-era Karif were produced, and even fewer have survived, driving increased interest in the model in recent years.
Introduced in 1987 as a replacement for the Biturbo Coupe, the Karif was designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone and represented a more refined and luxurious offering from Maserati. Its interior featured extensive use of wood, leather, and suede, complemented by a signature gold clock. The combination of rarity, a powerful engine, and a manual transmission-a configuration uncommon in fast classics-makes this Karif particularly appealing to enthusiasts.
