Up for Auction: 1974 Maserati Merak (Tipo AM 122)
The Maserati Merak, often regarded as the sleeker, more refined sibling of the Maserati Bora, stands out with its lightweight and agile design. While the Bora boasts a powerful V8, the Merak features a lighter V6 engine, resulting in superior handling and a more balanced driving experience. It’s the elegant dancer to the Bora’s heavyweight champion.
Designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro—famed for masterpieces like the Saab 9000, BMW M1, Lotus Esprit, and even the iconic Nikon D8 camera—the Merak boasts an extraordinary pedigree that places it among automotive royalty.
This particular Merak, built in 1974, is powered by a 3.0-liter engine derived from the 2.7-liter unit found in the Citroën SM. Originally delivered in Italy, it has been under the care of its current owner since 2014. Its striking black exterior paired with a red interior creates a truly breathtaking combination. The dashboard, reminiscent of the SM’s design, exudes sophistication, while the seating position offers a blend of race-inspired ergonomics and surprising comfort.
And yes, the Merak is a true 2+2, featuring a small rear seat—perfect for luggage or even a furry friend, though it’s less practical for adult passengers.
Lovingly maintained over the years, this Merak is now ready to find its next proud owner and continue its legacy of Italian automotive excellence.
