Cars of Coolhaven

Well, you love this car, or you ridicule it… One thing is for sure, it is hardly a Maserati! That is, as Maserati was known before this era. For some reason, owner De Tomaso thought it a good idea to stop making super cars, and start making, well, this: The Biturbo is a two-door coupé [...]
