The Maserati Spyder

Styling

The Spyder’s design was inspired by the classic front-engine, two-seater tradition, giving it a line that unites power and aggression with a sensual, elegant form.

The Spyder’s body has the distinctive sleek aggressiveness of the Coupe in its long, muscular bonnet, wheel arches, and compact, sporty rear. But the fact that its wheelbase is 220mm shorter and the presence of the two fixed roll-bars give the Spyder a uniquely distinctive line even at first glance.

The sporty elegance of the Spyder’s profile remains unchanged, however. With the hood down, it has the look of a compact coupé, but it takes just the push of a button and, in few seconds, the roof is open, giving the Spyder the adrenaline-fuelled look of a sports convertible.

The Maserati Spyder’s design is now more individual and fascinating than ever: the newly designed front bumpers and grille enhance the aggression of the bonnet while the rear bumpers are even more muscular and dynamic, thanks in part to the large side air vents covered in the classic fine mesh grille in black. The overall sporty effect is further enhanced by the 18’’ seven-spoke wheels that come as standard equipment.

Interior

Combining maximum driving pleasure with uncompromising comfort, the Maserati Spyder interior affords superlative comfort in every dimension, cocooning driver and passengers in a warm, elegant cabin.

A body-hugging driver’s seat makes it almost impossible to resist slipping behind the wheel while sumptuous leather upholstery cocoons passengers in a cabin that combines classic and high-tech features to perfection. Luxury materials and beautiful handcrafted details marry the charm of tradition with the quality of cutting edge technologies. The traditional analogue instrumentation facing the driver is now white on a navy blue background. Its controls are intuitive and immediately clear.

But the Spyder also boasts the Maserati Info Centre, equipped with an optimised 5.8 inch colour display, at the centre of the facia. This integrated unit controls the sound system with single CD player as standard, the on-board computer, and the climate control system. On request, the Info Centre can also include a GPS satellite navigation system, a GSM telephone module and CD changer.

Roof operation is fully powered too, with seamlessly smooth electro-hydraulic activation controlled by a button on the central tunnel. The soft top’s three-layer covering and reinforced structure perfectly insulate the driver and passenger compartment from the outside world, while the aerodynamic exterior design offers improved soundproofing at higher speeds and the heated glass rear window ensures optimal visibility in all driving conditions.

Its roominess, comprehensive array of accessories and a spacious 315-litre boot, large enough to take two golf bags or the made-to-measure luggage set (both available on request) make the Spyder the perfect car in which to experience the pleasure of exclusive drop-top driving over long distances.
