Information About

Maserati Boomerang




The design of the Boomerang would resonate through Giugiaro's future designs for many years. Its sharp angles and wedge shape could be easily seen in the Maserati Merak , the Lotus Esprit , and the DeLorean DMC-12 . Powered by a 310 bhp 4.7L V8 Engine driving the rear wheels, 5 speed Manual Transmission , and having a fully decked out interior. With a unique Dashboard layout where the Steering Wheel and gauge cluster are part of a single console that emerges from the dash, and the steering wheel rotates around the stationary gauges.

The Boomerang was fully registered as a road car, but it was always intended as a one-off show car. It was shown in dozens of places, and after the 1974 auto show in Barcelona it was sold to a private individual. In 1990 it was showed again at the Bagatelle Concours in Paris , with a new owner and having had some restoration work done on it.
