    Giugaro’s fantastical 1971-72 Maserati Boomerang. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Maserati Boomerang made its debut during the 1971 Turin Motor Show as a non-functioning prototype. Beautiful in its simplicity, the Trident draws strength from its angular, wedged form and 2/3 split greenhouse. Its design language would later sneak into the DNA strands of the DMC DeLorean, Lotus Esprit, and Maserati Merak—all (unsurprisingly) penned by Giugiaro. The Boomerang made its second debut at the 1972 Geneva Motor Show, this time powered by a 310bhp 4.7-liter V8, rowed manually via a five-speed gearbox. Not only did it get a fantastic mid-mounted lump, the ‘72 car also received a fully furnished interior. By far the most unique piece of said interior was its fantastic gauge cluster, situated firmly within the steering wheel. What an amazing era for industrial design. – top, bottom
