Australian Debut for GranSport Spyder
The Maserati GranSport Spyder, which will make its Sydney motor show debut on 26 October following its launch earlier this year at the Melbourne show (see our article here), is an open-top version of the GranSport Coupe, the car that has been widely praised for providing the Maserati Coupe with an aggressive new temperament with improved performance, looks and a sharper, more responsive edge
This car belongs to a very good client of mine who is now wanting to part with it. The car is stunning in person, hands down the best looking Coupe I have ever seen IMO.
In 2006, Maserati produced a limited edition Gransport to commemorate their MC12 supercar s championship in FIA GT racing. Only 180 were built and a mere 50 allocated to the U.S. All were individually numbered – this car is number 73 – and were finished with exclusive features such as an upgraded carbon fiber aero kit, carbon fiber race style seats covered in leather and Alcantara, carbon fiber dash and console fascias, carbon fiber deck lid spoiler, sport steering wheel, Alcantara interior trim, 19-inch race wheels, and Italian flag fender badges. It also has the upgraded suspension with Skyhook adjustable dampers, hi-fi audio, Cambiocorsa F1-style gearbox with special Trofeo Gransport race paddles, parking sensors, and bi-xenon headlamps which would all be optional on other, lesser Maseratis. This very special Italian thoroughbred is in like-new condition with only 2,100 miles on the odometer and is under full factory warranty till Oct. 30, 2010.
The car is going for $79,950

The GranSport Spyder shares the same 4.2 litre V8 as the coupe, uprated from the standard model to 400 bhp/294 kW, and has reworked suspension, wheels and tyres. Roof up or down, the GranSport Spyder gets to 100 kmh in just 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 285 kmh.
As with the coupe model, there are also some visual changes: a pronounced spoiler hugs the bottom of the front bumper and on the sides under-door skirting harmonises the look of the car. This is completed by the 19″ wheels inspired by the race cars that compete in the Trofeo Maserati.
The interior is a blend of carbon, leather and BrighTex® fabric and endow the cabin with the look and feel of a racing car.
