Additional Notes
- The Maserati Merak AM 122 cooling system capacity is rated at 16 liters across both the Merak SS (AM 122/A) and Merak SS USA (AM 122/A80) variants for the 1976-1983 model years.
- A 16-liter coolant capacity places the Merak SS in a relatively high range for a mid-engine sports car of its era, reflecting the demands of the 3.0-liter V6 engine and the complexity of routing coolant through a mid-mounted drivetrain configuration.
- The capacity figure of 16 liters applies under normal use conditions for both the domestic and USA-specification variants, meaning the value represents standard operating service rather than a post-overhaul or first-fill scenario.
- The AM 122/A and AM 122/A80 share an identical 16-liter cooling system capacity despite representing different market specifications, indicating no variation in coolant volume between the two configurations across the 1976-1983 production span.
