The Ghibli's true successor — Bertone by Gandini, developed under Citroën ownership for traditionalists who wanted a front-engined V8 GT.
Tipo AM120, styled by Marcello Gandini at Bertone; Turin 1972 prototype, production from 1974; the Ghibli's true successor, developed under Citroën ownership for traditionalists who wanted a front-engined V8 GT.
Asymmetric bonnet grille and the famous glass tail panel carrying floating lights; 1977 facelift added nose slats and a new dashboard.
The Ghibli's front-engined V8 successor and one of Gandini's defining GT designs. Chassis authentication, engine identity and documented originality are the defining factors.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Khamsin | 1974–1982 | — | 4.9L dry-sump V8, 320 hp; 280 hp US-spec from 1979. 435 built — an oil-crisis casualty. Per Wikipedia/Bertone references. |
Authenticate stamped chassis, engine and body numbers against Maserati Classiche records in Modena. For the Khamsin specifically, verify pre- or post-1977 facelift specification (nose slats and dashboard) and US-spec (280 hp from 1979) versus European specification.
Confirm body originality, coachbuilder identity (where applicable) and restoration standard against a Maserati marque specialist.
Confirm continuous service history and any rebuild history for the engine, gearbox and driveline against a marque specialist.
Restoration standard, originality of body and driveline, and any documented ownership record are the main value drivers.
