I was looking for models of this car and found one on amazon.com that said it was a 1972 model. If that is true, then it couldn't have been released in 1974, as this article states. Does anyone know when it was actually introduced?

The Shamal is not a successor to the Khamsin[edit]

No facelifted, re-engined ‘90s Biturbo 2-door saloon car could replace the bespoke GT that was the Khamsin. Perhaps the 3200GT or GranTurismo did. Those would be far closer to the mark than the Shamal was.

But after 15 years of hiatus between the Khamsin and 3200GT, it’s hard to call anything a successor. Maserati basically rebooted themselves once the Biturbo era ended.

The Shamal is much more a Kyalami successor, if anything, since both were based on more upright platforms that also supported 4-door saloon bodies. Farrahnicks76 (talk) 09:01, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is unencyclopedic to diminish the Shamal by calling it mearly a facelifted biturbo and uplift he Khamsin by calling it bespoke. Both are 2+2 V8 GT's with no car of the same qualities between them. Clearly they succeded each other. YBSOne (talk) 10:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
