Maserati Spyder (M138) Convertible (2001-2007)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Maserati Spyder (Type M138) is a mid-size convertible in production from 2001 to 2007. It was powered by a naturally-aspirated Ferrari/Maserati F136 V8 engine that displaced 4.2 liters.
Essentially the convertible version of the M138 Maserati Coupe, the Spyder has the same elegant styling but loses the rear seats. The benefit of this setup is that the car still has a large trunk for getaways. Both manual and "F1" automated manual transmissions were offered.
