Maserati Spyder (Spy)

[DJTaurus]

Taurus has said that the new maserati spider/coupe platform will be based in Quattroporte's platform.

[ACS]

According to Automobile magazine (July2005, p20) the new maserati spider/coupe will be on a Brera platform, AWD, and use a Fiat/Alfa V6.

The spider will be available in 2006. Is this true? I certainly hope not!

Maserati needs to keep its image improving by going upscale and not downscale. Look at the success of the Gransport and Quattroporte. Maserati needs to position itself as an entry-level luxurious Ferrari and not an expensive Alfa.

Taurus any ideas or info on this?

PS I will be attending the Grand Prix in montreal today and tomorrow and hopefully Ferrari will restore to Italy its rightful place as the world's most technologically advanced sports car company

Yes, they say the birdcage will be a lightweight spider (like an elise) based on the premium platform...

Maserati coupe/spyder?I read that it won't be based to quattroporte platform with the new v10(100b$ project cancelled) but after the joint venture with alfa romeo they will use premium platform with v6 engines..............

Information taken from car magazine................

Isn't this bad for maserati's image?

Maserati coupe/spyder?

I read the same article on CAR magazine; the rumor seems to be the same that was reported by autocar weeks ago. But TAURUS said the new coupé/spyder will maintain the current quattroporte derived platform.

Instead, in the future the use of the premium underpinnings is possible.

[DJTaurus]

underpinnings like?

[carrera4]

future Maseratis will be based on the premium platform and share parts with alfa
