MASERATI COUPÉ GT AND COUPÉ CAMBIOCORSA -purity and elegance of Italian styling

The purity and elegance of unmistakably Italian styling and cutting edge technological content combine to perfection in the lines of the Maserati Coupé, a car that is capable of encompassing the very best that Maserati has to offer in refined racing technology and yet present it all in a classic, ageless style.

This is a car built around its engineering - and around its engine. Designed to deliver an even sportier driving experience and an even higher standard of on board luxury.

The Maserati Coupé now brims with clever new styling features which add an extra touch of sportiness to its beautifully sculpted forms. These new features include a more prominent grille, rear air vents and an aerodynamic lip running along the sides. The seven-spoke wheels are now offered as standard equipment too.

Maserati Spyder: an all- Italian ExperiencE WITH irresistible allure

Seven different models of Spyder, as Maserati's convertibles have always been called, have been created at Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena in the course of the company's 75 year history. And this is without including the two unique models built before the Second World War, first as racers and then later transformed into road cars.

Maserati has now unveiled its eighth Spyder, a model that continues the marque's guiding concept of combining cutting edge engineering with sumptuous on-board comfort. This Spyder is available in both GT and Cambiocorsa versions. Needless to say, it is as thrilling to drive with the powered roof up or down.

The Spyder is a Maserati which blends the irresistible allure of an Italian sports convertible with the technological content and performance of a track car.

The new 2005 Spyder artfully combines in the classic timelessness of its glamorous lines, the unique Modena tradition and the most sophisticated sports technology available today.

MASERATI GRANSPORT - GranSport: Cutting edge flair with a touch of the past

In the 1950s, the track-inspired engineering of a two-litre Maserati A6G was given a harmonious yet excitingly aerodynamic Coupé body by the legendary Carrozzeria Frua. The resulting car was christened the GranSport.

Maserati has revived that glorious name once again for the version of the current Coupé inspired by the fiery Trident model that competes in the Trofeo Maserati and a host of GT Championship right across Europe. The engineers at Viale Ciro Menotti have carefully tuned the car for sports use so that its already highly sophisticated engineering and powerful high torque engine are now more impressive than ever.

Thanks to a massive 400 hp, a harder set-up and meticulous aerodynamic testing resulting in modifications to the body forms, the new GranSport is an unmistakable new addition to the international market for drivers who like their car to have a strong thoroughbred temperament yet still be usable anywhere and anytime.

The GranSport will be a thrilling accomplice on dashes up torturous mountain roads or at clandestine meetings on the track, yet still cut a dash in all the most fashionable places and look completely at home parked outside a chic restaurant. That was A6G Frua's style and, needless to say, it's been passed down directly to the GranSport in 2005 as well. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2004 in a pearlescent white livery known as Bianco Fuji, the Maserati GranSport has to all intents and purposes become part of that highly specialised Trident production line.

On which, not only is almost maniacal attention to detail lavished on very Maserati built, but a huge number of personalisation options are offered too. Needless to say, personalisation Maserati-style goes far beyond a selection of paintwork colours. In fact, the muscular, sporty GranSport is the perfect vehicle for the Trident's endless choice of aesthetic and functional couture options.

The GranSport's interior styling is equally powerful, this courtesy of beautiful colour combinations in original leathers and ultimate ergonomic functionality.
