Maserati Biturbo Performance Overview
Maserati’s Biturbo was a compact twin-turbo gasoline performance car built from 1984 to 1988, and across 5 independently verified tests spanning those years, it shows a narrow but clear progression in straight-line pace. All recorded examples use the twin-turbocharged AM473 engine family, with output ranging from 185 to 220 hp. The earliest benchmark came from the 1984 E Coupe at 7.47 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the initial pace for the model line.
Performance improved quickly in the middle of the run. The 1985 E Coupe cut the sprint to 60 mph to 6.73 seconds and also produced the quickest quarter-mile in the sample, a 15.29-second pass at 91.2 mph. Sedan tuning sat a step behind the coupes, illustrated by the 1986 425 Sedan’s 7.9-second 0-60 result, the slowest figure in the group.
By the end of production, the range was led by the 1988 Si Coupe, which posted the model’s best 0-60 time of 6.7 seconds. With an overall average of 7.26 seconds to 60 mph and 15.6 seconds in the quarter-mile, the Biturbo’s recorded performance today stands as a consistently mid-1980s twin-turbo gasoline package, defined by quick early gains and a modest final improvement at the top end.
