The GranSport version of the 4200 Coupe was launched in 2004 and the Spyder followed soon after. The styling changes by Frank Stephenson, then Maserati chief stylist, gave the Giugiaro design a much sharper, sportier look. The 4. 2 litre V8 underwent some detail improvement and a new exhaust with bypass valves raised the power output from 390bhp to 400bhp at 7000rpm, resulting in a 0-62mph time of 4. 9 seconds and a maximum speed of 180mph.
The Cambiocorsa 6-speed manual paddle shift transaxle also benefitted from improved software over the standard car with faster change speed in Sport mode. The double wishbone front and rear suspension used Maserati’s patent skyhook active damping technology and firmer, more track focused spring and roll bar settings.
GranSport specification also included new 19” wheels, a new interior including carbon centre console. 472 GranSport Coupes were sold new in the UK and only 26 GranSport Spyders.
This car:
Sold new by Meridien Modena to its first owner in August 2006, this GranSport Spyder has since had only two further owners. Bought by the current owner in 2011 as part of his collection, it was used regularly until 2018 but has been stored since. To date it has only covered just over 28, 500 miles.
There is a full set of stamps in the service book from accredited dealers and specialists until it was put into storage and the car will be serviced and freshly MOT tested at the point of sale.
The exterior colour of Nero Carbonio was a popular one for the GranSport Spyder but what adds a degree of rarity to this example is the crema interior colour, which we believe to be a unique combination on the convertible.
Presented in excellent condition throughout and ready for the summer, this GranSport Spyder is available to view at our workshops.
