The car is not a Fiat it is a Maserati Biturbo Spyder. The was no selection for make or model above so I just picked an Italian brand.
2.8L aluminum V6, twin intercooled turbos. 1987 was the first year for EFI.
High performance exhaust system otherwise stock. |
| Drivetrain: |
5 sp.
LSD differential. |
| Notes: |
The Biturbo is the red-headed stepchild of the Maserati world but I had been interested in them for a long time before I jumped on this red with black soft top car with only 38,000 miles on it.
It is a handful to work on and there are droves of owners who were in over their heads with these cars.
A summer car, a lot of fun to drive.
Unfortunately, I started it when it was too cold outside one late spring and the timing belt jumped, sending the pistons crashing into the valves.
It has been stored under a cover for 9 years now. I have a spare engine and will swap the heads but it hasn't gotten a high priority vs other projects. |
