1 of 7 Barchetta's, BMW V8, 6 Speed Manual, 250 Miles

Delivered new to Sport Cars GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany, this Guara Barchetta has been collector owned since new. The car is finished in Azzurro Metallizzato De Tomaso metallic blue over Pelle Blu leather upholstery, and power comes from a BMW 4.0-liter M60B40 V8 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Features include composite bodywork, an aluminum backbone chassis, a double-wishbone suspension, Brembo disc brakes, 18″ Marchesini wheels, and Schroth Racing six-point harnesses. This Guarà Barchetta is now offered with original sales paperwork, a De Tomaso Certificato di Origine, and factory literature.

The Guarà was the final car DeTomaso released with input from company founder Alejandro de Tomaso. The design was based on the 1991 Maserati Barchetta Stradale prototype, which was designed by Carlo Gaino at Synthesis Design. The Guarà was introduced at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show and was offered in coupe, spyder, and barchetta variants, all featuring composite bodywork over an aluminum honeycomb backbone chassis.

The 18″ Marchesini wheels wear DeTomaso center caps and are mounted with 245/40 front and 285/35 rear Michelin MXX3 tires. The Guara rides on a 102.75″ wheelbase and features double wishbones and coilovers at all four corners as well as an anti-roll bar and rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by Brembo calipers over cross-drilled front rotors and vented rear units.
