Minichamps' 1:18 resin Maserati Merak arrives in yellow, capturing the mid-engine V6 coupe built alongside the flagship Bora. Sealed resin construction gives the Merak's flying-buttress rear window and sharp shoulder line real precision on the shelf.
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 resin Maserati Merak in yellow reproduces the mid-engine V6 coupe Maserati built as a lighter, smaller-engined alternative to its Bora flagship. Sealed resin construction captures the Merak's flying-buttress rear glass with sharper lines than diecast tooling would manage.
The Merak shared its lower body and dramatic glass rear buttresses with the V8 Bora, but swapped in a smaller, more manageable V6 and a more usable rear parcel shelf, positioning it as the everyday option in Maserati's mid-engine range of the era.
Resin Construction Suited to a Complex Rear
The Merak's signature flying buttresses, the glazed panels sweeping from roof to tail either side of the rear window, are exactly the kind of thin, compound-curved feature resin construction handles with more confidence than diecast tooling. Minichamps' sealed resin body keeps those buttress lines crisp and consistent, and the yellow finish gives the wedge-shaped nose and low cabin genuine visual punch under a display light. Without opening doors or a lifting engine cover, the model trades interior access for exterior precision, a fair exchange for a car whose profile is its defining feature.
Citroën's Fingerprints on a Maserati
Maserati was under Citroën ownership when the Merak was developed, and some of the styling cues around the glasshouse echo the era's Citroën design language, an unusual cross-pollination for an otherwise thoroughly Italian sports car. That quirk of ownership history adds an interesting footnote for anyone building a classic Italian or 1970s exotic display around this Merak.
