Maserati Gran Turismo Spyder Caught In Modena
August 20th, 2008
Automakers are always trying to keep new concepts under wraps and out of the public eye so as to surprise them when the final product is finished and revealed. Unfortunately Maserati seemed to have forgotten the general rules and left the new Gran Turismo Spyder all on its lonesome in Modena.
A tourists walking by managed to spot the supercar and took pictures that showed off the two-piece roof and the trunk of the car - which looks to still be in the early stages of development.
You can expect the Gran Turismo Spyder to make its debut in Paris later this year, with sales beginning in early 2009.
Maserati MC12 Corsa For Sale
August 5th, 2008
The Maserati MC12 will be campaigning in the FIA GT Championship. They entered the championship by fabricating and offering 50 of their vehicles to the public. The MC12 was faster then most cars - but even with this type of speed many consumers were not content and wanted more.
So Modena rolled out 12 examples of the MC12 Corsa (a.k.a. Versione Corse) to satisfy the needs of its most loyal, track-obsessed clients. Based closely on the GT1 racing version, the MC12 Corsa packs a mammoth 6-liter V12 producing 744 horsepower – 121 more than the roadgoing supercar. The Versione Corse compared to the Ferrari FXX: both of them were based on the Ferrari Enzo, both were offered in limited numbers, both were maintained for their best clients by the factory, and most importantly, neither were certified for road use.
2005 Maserati Loses Control
July 20th, 2008
It’s great to have a cool car that you can drive around in and show off to everyone - but even we know that you can take that too far. The Arlington police stated that at three in the morning a 2005 Maserati was driving down Arlington Boulevard at 100 mph.
The car lost control and crossed the median into the eastbound lanes when it hit a guard rail and then a tree. Police said that it proceeded to flip over multiple times before finally stopping.
Maserati Testing New Coupe-Cabrio Model
July 18th, 2008
Many have seen what looks to be the prototypes for the next Maserati model - which will use the platform of a coupe-cabrio. It was first spotted testing a year ago - but was well hidden away and has only just recently surfaced. The car is back in the testing stage - but it still looks as if it needs a lot of work done to it.
It was last seen on testing on the Nurburgring track in Germany - which is proof enough that they are still working on it and haven’t scraped the project.

We may not know all of the hidden details that lie beneath the hood and how well it drives - but we do know that it looks great enough to buy. Without the test drive. To give you a better look we have provided a video that shows everything.
