Brief History:
Designed as a replacement for the Indy by Giorgetto Giugiaro then at Ital Design the car was first shown at the Turin Motor Show in November, 1973.  Sharing the characteristic independent rear suspension of the Bora/Merak (also designed by Giugiaro) the car would have become the first front engined production car with this feature.  The car never went into production and the Khamsin became the first Maserati front engined production car with an independent rear end.  Built around Indy mechanicals and chassis the car differed to the Indy in its track and wheelbase the car shared similar design aspects to the Bertone Khamsin.
