OWNER Maserati Shamal Owner: Zaher @zsgarage Location: Dubai, UAE Date Visited: February 12th 2022 Photography: Del Gregory Introduced in 1990 and produced until 1996, the Maserati Shamal was designed by Marcello Gandini as a 2+2 Coupé Grand Tourer. With its 3.2L Twin-Turbo V8 and 6-Speed Getrag manual transmission, it is a true drivers car. This particular model was produced in 1994 as one of only 369 ever produced. Originally from Japan, in red with a black interior and has completed just 61,000 kms. “Extremely comfortable and surprisingly easy to drive, but very low to the ground. Because it’s a twin-turbo from the 90s, the boost is quite powerful when the turbos kick in.” “It’s one of those cars that you can’t quite figure out which angle is your favourite. That’s the genius of Gandini”. Zaher.
