2009 Maserati GranTurismo Spyder spied

By Alborz Fallah |

Maserati’s most stunning model at present is set to go topless with a convertible GranTurismo prototype spied on roads surrounding the Nurburgring.

The GranTurismo Spyder is likely to feature a folding metal roof rather than the conventional fabric top in line with its sibling car the new Ferrari California.

Unlike its predecessor, the new GT Spyder is rumoured to be a 2+2 rather than just being a pure two-seater.

The engine and powertrain are expected to remain identical to the coupe, with a few structural additions to stiffen the chassis.

    My favourite car in the whole world……..just made my dreams come true!

    Absolutely stunning machine this one!

    seriously speaking, i feel that this car kinda looks like an oddball, don’t you think?

  • Devil666

    This is going to be very difficult to make better than the coupe. Good luck to Maser, but if they ruin such a stunner, many will be angry.

  • Alex

    Actually CA I think you may have it wrong here. I’m sure I’ve heard that there’s going to be a shooting break version of the GranTurismo and it would make more sense that this is that testing rather than a convertible, due to the shape. I’m looking forward to both.

    Stunning… Beautiful… I take it that you’re NOT looking at the [above] photographs then?

  • Alex

    No Wheelnut, we’re commenting on the other pictures, you know the ones that aren’t really there but you can still see them? You don’t have to like Maseratis but can you please learn that most find them stunning and not expect people to carry you opinions?

  • Bavarian Missile (.)(.)

    Come on Alex this looks like a stunted C*ckroach! Each to their own……………

  • Pious

    Are we all joking? It’s in disguise innit? When those bits come off the front and the back (which make it look like a jensen interceptor, IMO), this will be some sweet car. Or did I just make an absolute fool of myself, because this is actualy how it will look?

    DANIEL W…Took the words out my mouth mate, i love the granturismo…i want one sooo bad…

    and COME ON GUYS I gurantee you all they will not look as bad as these photos show, it will not come out like the hunchback of notredamme….relax…it will still look sexy as hell…
