The Maserati Karif (Tipo AM339) is a luxury coupé built between 1988-91 developed as an evolution to the Maserati BiTurbo with the brief of producing a sporty agile car, which will make the driver feel like a racing driver for the first time. Originally it was planned that a limited production of 250 cars be built, but in reality only 221 were completed. In a throwback to Maserati's earlier naming practices for two-seater GTs, the car was named after the Karif wind, which blows South West across the Gulf of Aden at Berbera, Somalia.

 

The Karif was built on the same shortened chassis as the Zagato-bodied Maserati Spyder model, adding a fixed notchback coupé roof. Power came from the powerful iteration of the Maserati Biturbo engine: the AM473 a 2.8 litre V6 with three valves per cylinder and rated at 285 PS for the un-catalysed version, reduced to 248 PS for the later engines strangled by a catalysed converter.
