Minichamps' 1:18 resin Maserati Khamsin reproduces the Marcello Gandini-styled coupe in red, dated to 1977. Named after a Middle Eastern desert wind in Maserati's grand tourer tradition, its sharp wedge profile and distinctive glass rear panel set it apart on any shelf.
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 resin model reproduces the Maserati Khamsin from 1977 in red, styled by Marcello Gandini at Bertone and named after a Middle Eastern desert wind. Sealed resin construction favours the coupe's sharp wedge profile and distinctive glass rear panel treatment.
The Khamsin's wedge-shaped nose and unusual glazed tail are exactly the kind of detail that separates a 1970s Italian GT from anything that came before it.
Resin Precision on Gandini's Wedge Profile
Marcello Gandini's design for the Khamsin favours a sharply angled nose and taut, uninterrupted flanks, a wedge-era departure from the rounder grand tourers Maserati had built through the 1960s, and reproducing those crisp creases well depends on precisely the kind of unbroken surfacing sealed resin construction provides. Minichamps' resin build holds the Khamsin's low nose and the distinctive glass panel across its rear, a genuinely unusual styling choice for the period, with clean, well-defined edges throughout. The red finish carries real depth under direct light, letting the wedge's sharp shoulder line read clearly without a softer colour blurring the geometry Gandini intended.
A Wind-Named GT for the Wedge Era
Built between 1974 and 1982, the Khamsin continued Maserati's tradition of naming grand tourers after winds, joining the Mistral and Ghibli in that lineage while representing a distinctly sharper, more angular design language than either of its predecessors. Its arrival marked Maserati's full embrace of the wedge styling that swept through Italian design in the 1970s, a deliberate break from the flowing curves of the previous decade. Displayed alongside a Mistral or Ghibli, the Khamsin completes a wind-named trilogy that traces Maserati's grand tourer design across two distinctly different design eras within a single decade.
