The Maserati Karif is a luxury coupe produced by Maserati between 1988 and 1992. It was designed to be luxurious but at the same time, a bit sporty so that you can "feel like a racing driver again or for the first time".

The car was named after the wind called "Karif" which blows South West across the Gulf of Aden at Berbera, Somalia.

The Karif had an engine it shared with the Maserati Biturbo, the AM473, a 2.8 L V6 engine with 3 valves per cylinder. It produces 164 kW (221 bhp) at 5500 rpm which can take the car from 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 4.7 seconds and up to a top speed of 255 km/h (158.4 mph). It used the same chassis as the Zagato Spyder model.
