About the 1971 Maserati Bora 4.9
The Bora 4.9 represented the ultimate expression of Maserati's mid-engine philosophy, with the larger-displacement V8 delivering 330 horsepower and 165-mph capability. Only 275 examples received the bigger engine, making it significantly rarer than the 4.7-liter version. The additional displacement transformed the Bora's character, providing effortless torque delivery and genuine supercar performance that could embarrass contemporary Ferraris. Despite the $3,000 premium over the base model, discerning buyers recognized the 4.9's superior performance envelope. Today, these represent the holy grail of Bora ownership, combining Giugiaro's timeless design with Maserati's most potent naturally-aspirated V8 of the era. The extreme rarity and enhanced performance make 4.9s commanding serious premiums over their 4.7-liter siblings, with pristine examples approaching six-figure territory as collectors recognize their significance.
