Maserati Bora Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1971–1980) — First Generation
The first-generation Maserati Bora combines a mid-engined layout with classic Italian Coupe styling. Its appeal goes beyond appearance: the engine and manual gearbox give you an active role in shaping the driving experience.
The 4.7 MT and 4.9 MT illustrate Maserati Bora engine choices, both pairing a gasoline V8 with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. You control gear selection directly, so clutch feel and shift quality matter. During a test drive, check for smooth clutch engagement and clean gear changes.
