Shortly after Citroën took a controlling interest in Maserati in 1968, the concept of a mid-engined two-seat sports car was proposed. The Maserati project got underway in October 1968 and a prototype was on the road by mid-1969. Shown in its final form at the Geneva Salon in March 1971. Compared to other supercars it was civilized and practical, featuring a hydraulically powered pedal cluster that could be moved forward and backwards at the touch of a button and a steering wheel that could be tilted and telescoped, to allow for easier access, and a full size boot. the Bora used dual-pane glass separating its cabin from the engine compartment as well as a carpeted aluminum engine cap to muffle the engine noise.
Two engines were offered initially, including a high-revving 4.7-litre (290 cu in) V8 and a higher torque 4.9-litre (300 cu in) V8, eventually production moved entirely to the larger 4.9 litre unit.
A combined steel monocoque chassis and body featured a tubular steel subframe at the back for the engine and transmission. and all round independant suspension
