With only twenty five Right Hand Drive examples, this rare Maserati Karif is in exceptional condition with just 14,500 miles from new. Launched in 1988 as a luxurious and sporting 2+2 Coupe, the Karif was powered by Maserati’s most powerful Bi-turbo 2.8 litre V6 engine producing 285bhp at 5,500rpm. According to Maserati, the Karif could reach 60mph from standstill in just 4.8 seconds and achieve a top speed in excess of 158mph. Based on the shortened chassis design of the Zagato-bodied Maserati Spyder, the Karif’s fixed notchback roof helped to increase torsional rigidity and ride quality while keeping the classic ‘3-Box’ styling of the Bi-turbo line. With a limited production of just 221 examples and only 25 being made in RHD, this super-rare, low mileage Karif has been cared for meticulously with a host of bills on file from leading Maserati specialist Bill McGrath. Regular service and maintenance has been carried out regardless of cost with the current owner being a long term Maserati enthusiast. The quality and condition of the paintwork leather and mechanicals are all exemplary and reflect the low mileage covered. Finished in the classic Italian combination of deep Rosso Corsa paintwork with a luxurious interior featuring tan leather and Alcantara, both are exactly as you would expect for an example that has covered just 14,500 mile and bely the fact they are nearly 30 years old. With its distinctive Maserati design and in immaculate condition, this exceptional Maserati Karif offers Ferrari beating performance with the desirable combination of increased rarity and exclusivity.
