Seller's comments about 1978' Maserati Merak
This 1978 Maserati Merak SS embodies Italian design, impressive performance, and a storied history. Delivered new in Europe, this is the higher-performance SS version of the original Merak. It is presented in fantastic condition, thanks to a thorough restoration and specialist maintenance, including a complete overhaul of the engine, hydraulics, and braking system by an official Maserati dealer in 2018 (documented with €70, 000 of invoices).
High-Quality Restoration
The quality of this Merak SS is immediately evident. The paintwork is great, with panels that align perfectly and doors that close with remarkable precision—a testament to the exceptional restoration work. The interior was completely reupholstered in 2017, featuring luxurious, high-quality materials faithful to the original design. Everything appears as if it just left Maserati’s factory floor. Mechanically, this Merak performs flawlessly: the engine starts effortlessly, delivers an exhilarating sound, and the gearbox shifts with precision and ease.
An Italian Powerhouse on Wheels
The Maserati Merak SS offers a unique blend of performance and elegance. Designed as a lighter and more balanced sports car, it is powered by a 3. 0-liter V6 engine that delivers exceptional performance. Under Alejandro de Tomaso’s management, the Merak SS received significant improvements, including the adoption of a ZF five-speed gearbox and enhanced wheel and tire configurations, resulting in an unparalleled driving experience. This particular Merak is in superb condition, ready to provide years of driving pleasure.
The History of the Maserati Merak
Introduced in 1971, the Maserati Merak was the “younger sibling” of the Maserati Bora. Both models were styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Italdesign, but the Merak featured a V6 engine instead of the Bora’s V8, offering better weight distribution and agility. When Alejandro de Tomaso took over Maserati in 1976, he implemented significant design and quality improvements. The result was the Merak SS, a car that not only offered better performance but was also more reliable than its predecessors.
With its timeless Giugiaro design, impressive performance, and rarity, the Merak SS is one of the most sought-after Maseratis of its era. This car is the perfect blend of aesthetics, engineering, and historical significance, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
