Maserati Simun

The Maserati Simun is a concept car that Maserati of Italy built in 1968 and showed at the Turin motor show of the same year. Giorgetto Giugiaro styled it during his time at Ghia in the late 1960s, but it never went into production because the Maserati Indy by Vignale replaced it, and its styling was later taken up in the Bora and the Merak. It is a two-door coupe in a 2+2 layout with pop-up headlights. Under the long bonnet it has the same engine as the Maserati Mexico, a naturally aspirated 90 degree V8 of 4,136 cc with two valves per cylinder, giving 260 CV at 5,000 rpm and 326 N·m of torque, enough for a top speed of 260 km/h, with a five-speed rear transmission. The car is kept today in the Umberto Panini Maserati Museum.
