Estimate band for good road cars. 13 documented sales since 2019 plotted below.
Band and axis shown in USD. Sale positions use indicative fixed-rate conversion to USD; sale readouts retain recorded currencies. USD for sound road cars. Exceptional preservation and European bumpers can command a premium; deferred hydraulics, corrosion or incomplete trim can consume it quickly.
Instrument calibration for this file is in progress — the terminal above reads the documented record directly.

Overview
Maserati showed the Bora at Geneva in March 1971. Giulio Alfieri engineered the monocoque, rear subframe and fully independent suspension; Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign drew the low fastback body.
The 4.7-litre V8 arrived first and the 4.9 followed. Maserati's current heritage table lists 314 examples of the 4.7 and 250 of the 4.9, while several auction catalogues divide the same 564 total as 289 and 275. The total is more stable than the variant split.
The oil crisis restricted demand and planned Group 4 racing did not progress. What survived is a small-production road car whose engineering mixes Maserati's quad-cam V8 with Citroën hydraulics and a cabin intended for long-distance use.
