Model history
The Maserati Khamsin was first shown in 1972 as a design study at the Bertone stand in Turin – designed by Marcello Gandini. Production of the elegant grand tourer began in 1974, combining a striking wedge-shaped body with a classic front-mounted V8 engine. A typical feature of the design was the transparent rear panel with integrated taillights. Technically, the Khamsin was developed under Citroën's direction and was equipped with hydraulic power steering, among other features. By the end of production in 1982, only 435 units had been built – significantly fewer than its predecessor, the Ghibli.

Questions and Comments
Technik: Er war das letzte neu entwickelte Fahrzeug, für das Maserati technische Komponenten von Citroën verwendete. Die Verkaufszahlen des Khamsin blieben weit hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Heute gilt er als der am meisten unterschätzte klassische Maserati. Die Karosserie aus Stahl war selbsttragend ausgelegt. Marcello Gandini hatte sie für Bertone entworfen; bei Bertone wurden auch die Rohkarosserien gefertigt. Der Khamsin war ein zweitüriges Coupé mit Fließheck. Er war als 2+2-Sitzer zugelassen, wobei die hinteren Notsitze allerdings „keineswegs zu benutzen waren“. Sie waren unkomfortabel, und es gab nahezu keine Bein- und Kopffreiheit. Gandinis Karosseriedesign wurde als „zeitgemäß“, „einzigartig“ oder „außergewöhnlich“ wahrgenommen; einzelne Stimmen beschreiben den Khamsin als „gestalterisches Juwel“. Besonderes Merkmal der Karosserie war ihre ausgeprägte Keilform und die sehr lange Motorhaube. Die Heckscheibe diente zugleich als Kofferraumklappe. Am Heck war, senkrecht stehend, eine weitere verglaste Fläche angebracht, die den Blick auf den Kofferraum freigab und in die die Rücklichter eingelassen waren. Dieses Designelement folgte dem Lamborghini Espada und dessen Vorläufer, dem von Gandini gestalteten Showcar Marzal. Die Frontpartie fiel stark ab; in ihr waren Klappscheinwerfer eingelassen. LG Tom
