Amazing Photos of Maserati Boomerang, The Futuristic Wedge-Shaped Concept Car of the 1970s » Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

The Maserati Boomerang stands out as one of the boldest concept cars of the 1970s, redefining automotive design with its radical aesthetics.

First revealed as a static model 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 shape and space-age interior—complete with a steering wheel embedded in a circular instrument cluster—embodied the futuristic vision of the era. Powered by a 4.7-liter V8 from the Maserati Bora, the Boomerang combined high-performance engineering with avant-garde styling. Though it never reached production, its influence on car design remains legendary, and these images capture its daring spirit in full force.
