Maserati s Khamsin - named after a hot Sahara Desert wind - debuted at the 1972 Turin Show and entered production in 1974. Styled and built at Bertone the Khamsin s attractive unitary-construction 2 2 hatchback body was of all steel construction. The power unit was a longer-stroke 4.9-liter version of Maserati s familiar quad-cam V8 developing 320bhp at a lowly 5 500rpm and a lusty 354lb ft of torque at 4 000 revs. The Khamsin was Maserati s biggest-engined and most expensive offering at the time of its introduction. 1975 MASERATI KHAMSIN COACHWORK BY BERTONE CHASSIS NO.
