Restomod Maserati Biturbo Shamal: the return of a legend by Modena Automobili

Italian company Modena Automobili has presented a unique project — a restomod of the Maserati Biturbo Shamal model. This car combines vintage design with modern technology. Modern fans of Italian classics will definitely appreciate it!

Design and interior

The Maserati Biturbo restomod's interior is deliberately analog, replicating the original model's interior. The contours of the Maserati Biturbo Shamal's dashboard with horizontal air ducts, the central console with a set of physical buttons, and the retro steering wheel trimmed with Alcantara—all of this creates the atmosphere of a classic coupe. However, the updated instrument panel with a digital screen, Recaro Classic seats, and a removable manual chronograph add a modern touch to the car.

A wide range of colors and materials is available for interior trim. Modena Automobili states that personalization will not require additional costs. Such a detail makes the restomod even more attractive to collectors.

Technical specifications

Under the hood of the restomod is a 3.0-liter V6 from the Maserati Ghibli, producing 500 horsepower. This engine works in conjunction with an eight-speed ZF transmission. Such a combination provides the Maserati Biturbo Shamal with excellent dynamics — acceleration to 100 km/h takes a few seconds. Although official data on the car's maximum speed is not yet available, one can expect it to exceed 250 km/h.

Exclusive release

Only 33 units of the restomod are planned for release. Externally, the restomod replicates the Maserati Shamal of the 1990s, retaining the recognizable body lines and sporty style. However, the technical components are more in line with mass-produced Maserati Biturbo models. This provides a balance between retro charm and modern characteristics.

Price and premiere

Modena Automobili values its creations at 590,000 euros, which is equivalent to 58.5 million rubles. The first prototypes will be in Q1 of this year, and series production will start closer to the end. This cost includes individual customization of the car, including the choice of materials, acoustic system (Bose, JBL, or Alpine), and other details.

Italian legend returns

The project by Modena Automobili demonstrates how to preserve the spirit of a classic car while adding modern features. The combination of a 3.0-liter V6 from Ghibli, an updated interior, and exclusive design makes the Maserati restomod a unique offering in the market. For those who appreciate luxury, history, and power, this car will be a true find.

Therefore, if you want to become the owner of a Maserati Biturbo Shamal, prepare for the premiere of the first prototype!
