Maserati Biturbo
The Biturbo was Maserati's bold democratisation play — a twin-turbocharged V6 in a compact and stylish body at a price that undercut Ferrari. At launch, its 180 hp 2.0-litre twin-turbo made it one of the fastest compact cars in the world, though early reliability issues tarnished its reputation.
