Spyshots: Maserati GranTurismo Spyder
 

Going on holliday to Supercar Valley is always a great way to spend some time. It will be even more fun if you run into a very special car. This is what happened to Niels when he drove around Modena and stumbled upon some broken Maserati’s. He did what most people interested in cars would do, he had a quick look around, and thought he saw a GranTurismo. When he was standing closer to the car he realized it wasn’t an ordinary GranTurismo.

It is the GranTurismo Spyder. The car wasn’t being watched, nor covered up, just standing their between some broken Maserati’s. This Maserati GranTurismo Spyder will probably be powered by a 434 bhp strong 4.7 liter V8, the same engine you can also find in the GranTurismo S. You’ll probably need all this power to get some nicer performance out of this 1800 kg heavy machine. The Spyder is expected in the showroom around 2009, so this car will high likely be introduced during the Paris motorshow next month. Niels thanks a lot for these pictures!

These pictures certainly prove that California shares the same platform and tech with the GranTurismo, unlike what Ferrari said...

Looks like they pulled it out of the spare parts bin.

It's interesting to see such a new and beautiful car in that condition. The 'vert should looks pretty sick when it's completed!
