DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Setting aside the idea of a coupe body as well as that of an SUV, Giugiaro's work focused on developing a high-end limousine with the shape of an MPV. Named after a wind that blows in Siberia, the Maserati Buran has imposing but not extreme dimensions. Five meters long, nearly two meters wide, and 1.63 meters high, it promises limousine-like roominess thanks to body shapes that harken back to classic models of the early 20th century. The goal is to develop a luxury car that instills safety and sturdiness at the mere sight and can meet the needs not only of business men who need an office on wheels but also of those families who seek luxury and sportiness.
