The Maserati Boomerang stands out as one of many boldest idea vehicles of the Seventies, redefining automotive design with its radical aesthetics.
First revealed as a static mannequin in Turin in 1971 and later as a working prototype in Geneva in 1972, it was the brainchild of Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign. Its sharp wedge form and space-age inside—full with a steering wheel embedded in a round instrument cluster—embodied the futuristic imaginative and prescient of the period. Powered by a 4.7-liter V8 from the Maserati Bora, the Boomerang mixed high-performance engineering with avant-garde styling. Although it by no means reached manufacturing, its affect on automotive design stays legendary, and these pictures seize its daring spirit in full drive.
