The Maserati Spyder

When necessary, the system acts on the brakes and engine to guarantee that the driver always remains fully in control of the car. Moreover, if the Skyhook or Cambiocorsa are present, the MSP offers two modes of intervention, one is normal (more control and safety oriented) and the other (which the driver selects) is more performance-geared and once again leaves more room for fun driving by intervening to a lesser extent on stability control. Finally, expert drivers and sports purists will be happy to know that they can completely exclude electronic stability control altogether at the touch of a button on the central console, whilst still leaving the ABS active.

The kind of meticulous attention that has been devoted to active safety has also been lavished on important passive safety features too.

Starting with the steel monocoque construction with supplementary integrated tubular structure in front section, every element was developed to exceed even the most severe passive safety standards and the most recent collision regulations. There are also two fixed roll bars to guarantee better occupant protection.

The standard safety equipment offered by the Spyder is completed by four front and side airbags, front seatbelts with electronically controlled pretensioners and a safety inertia switch which cuts off fuel supply in the event of an impact or violent stop.

Maserati Spyder: An all-Italian Experience

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

The Maserati Spyder is a car built around a chassis and an engine designed for drivers who want to have fun behind the wheel.
