In 2002, Maserati launched the Coupe and Spyder. Both models have a normally aspirated 4.2 L engine producing 390 bhp (291 kW) As before top speed is 177 mph. While 0-60 time is 4.9 seconds. The V8 engine is a new design and will be shared between Maserati and Ferrari.
The two sportscars are available in two transmissions: GT, which is a traditional manual, or Cambiocorsa, in which upshift and downshift paddles are mounted on the steering wheel; this is intended to simulate Formula One driving.
Both models include a computer-controlled automatic damping system, high-performance Brembo brakes, and a touch-screen information center that combines audio and climate controls. A global-positioning navigation system and hands-free cellular phone are available as options. Maserati offers a range of exterior colors and ten shades of leather interior; five colors for the Spyder's convertible top are also offered.
The Coupe ranges in price from US$82,633 - $86,877. The Spyder is slightly more expensive, costing US$87,252 - $91,415.
