Maserati 228 2.0 Bi-Turbo 24v Tipo 331 only 230 made, only 86.383 km, EU car, books and s 1991
General description :
We have a rare and wonderful Maserati Racing, aka the Tipo 331. Although based on the 2.24v, the Racing has a totally different technical spec. It has a different crankshaft, lightweight piston rods, higher compression ratio and modified turbo’s. Thanks to these modifications it was the world's most powerful 2.0 production car of its time. With power in excess of 282 Hp it beat even Maserati 2.8 Bi-Turbo! Made for the Italian home market over an 18-month period, it only had a production run of 230. Garelli Automobili Maserati in Italy supplied this one from new on the 9th October 1991. In 2002 it was exported to the Netherlands with just 60,600 km on the clock. Today this Maserati is still in excellent shape with 86,383 km on the clock. The bodywork is straight and all body parts are a perfect fit. The underbody is, of course, completely rust-free. It has a metallic black/grey finish and lovely black leather interior trim. The cars’ interior is fully original and in tip-top condition, especially the alcantara elements! Servicing has been carried out at regular intervals and is up-to-date. It comes with lots of service bills and of course the original car wallet containing the service booklets. We seldom have the pleasure of seeing such a superb and original example. A ‘Racing’ is a rarity in its self, let alone a low-mileage one with a complete history.

About Maserati
Maserati, the epitome of Italy's finest traditional luxury sports cars. Let's dive into the captivating narrative of Maserati's storied history, shall we?Act 1: The Roaring Twenties
In the heart of Bologna, Italy, Maserati was born in 1914, founded by the Maserati brothers. The roaring twenties saw Maserati establishing itself as a force in racing, capturing hearts with its precision engineering and sleek designs.
Act 2: The Trident's Triumphs
The iconic Trident logo emerged in the 1920s, symbolizing Maserati's dominance in the racing world. Models like the Tipo 26 and the 250F graced the tracks, with the latter securing Juan Manuel Fangio's Formula One World Championship in 1957.
Act 3: The Road Cars Roar (1960s-1980s)
Maserati transitioned from racetracks to the streets, introducing luxurious grand tourers. The Ghibli, a name evoking the desert wind, and the stunning Bora and Merak, with their mid-engine designs, became symbols of automotive elegance.
Production Numbers:
Ghibli (1967-1973): Approximately 1,170 units.
Bora (1971-1978): Around 524 units.
Merak (1972-1983): Approximately 1,830 units.
Act 4: Turbulence and Triumphs
The '80s brought challenges, but Maserati persisted. The Biturbo series aimed to bring the brand to a broader audience, blending performance and luxury. Amid ownership changes, Maserati's spirit endured.
Production Numbers (Biturbo Series):
Biturbo (1981-1994): Over 38,000 units.
Finale: Modern Elegance and Power
Entering the 21st century, Maserati merged tradition with modernity. The Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and Levante continued the legacy, blending Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Maserati, with its timeless Trident emblem, stands as a testament to Italian passion for both racing and luxurious craftsmanship. Through triumphs and tribulations, Maserati has etched its name in the annals of automotive history as a symbol of style, performance, and the pursuit of perfection.
