This Vintage Spyder was manufactured in 2000 to full completion and is equipped with a high performance CB Performance 1915 cc Air Cooled Engine. The car is a beautiful German Racing Silver over a bright red interior. The options list when ordered included the RS package, helmet rest, 3.44 gear, and tonneau cover. A car cover is included as well. The car has been driven 4200 professionally maintained miles and at 1300 pounds moves briskly by the dynoed 133 horsepower engine. CB Performance 044 heads and forged Hi Po internals allow the engine to rev willingly and safely. The dual Weber IDF 40's have a recent rebuild and tune have four inch Velocity Stacks and also K and N filters included as well. The exhaust system is a four into one sytem that sounds beautiful as the throttle is floored. A 911 style cooling shroud and chrome Valve Covers and Starter make for a beautiful engine bay. The frame is a coated alloy and held on the ground by Aldan Adjustable Racing shocks and 15" five lug Chrome wheels and Dunlop Radials. VDO gauges complete the interior.
I love this car and feel the fit and finish is up to the highest standard to please the most detailed eye. The car has had two collector owners and spent its life in Palm Springs until August of 2012. I drive the car regularly and even at 6' 2" find it comfortable on road trips. The paint is very nice as is the interior, until I bought the car it had never been driven in rain. The car will come detailed and have a fresh service to include valve adjustment. The questions and looks this car attracts really surprised me. One question that some ask is if it is a kit car, and the answer is no, emphatically, Vintage Spyders hand built this car to completion to include the engine install to the highest of standards. She runs, she handles, and she's just a lot of fun. If you have any questions please feel free to ask as many as you wish.

2015 Maserati Ghibli gets the lightest of updates [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Maserati continued its centennial celebration this week with a lightly updated version of the 2015 Ghibli at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The sedan is enhanced with navigation and Bluetooth features, which are now standard. Reinforcing that this is a light refresh, Maserati gave the brake calipers a new finish, and contrasted stitching is also added on the Ghibli and Ghibli SQ4 models.
Maserati is also throwing in a free three-month "all-access" subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio for the Ghibli, Quattroporte and GranTurismo.

Heidi Klum and Maserati go Beyond the Swimsuit for Sports Illustrated

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

When sports and cars come together, the world "super" often comes up - whether it's a high-performance super sports car, a racing series (like Japan's Super GT, Australia's V8 Supercars or Italy's Superstars series), the latest crop of Super Bowl ads from the world's automakers or a supermodel posing with a car in the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This year's edition already saw Lisalla Montenegro cozying up to the new Lexus RC F, but it's not the only pairing to be found between an import luxury performance machine and a swimsuit model. The new 50th anniversary edition of the popular bikini special features a seven-page pictorial titled "Beyond the Swimsuit" shot by Francesco Carrozzini.
The spread features the inimitable Heidi Klum posing beside and inside various Maserati models - including the new Ghibli S Q4, the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car and the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna concept. Of course it's not the first time we're seeing a leggy blonde stepping out of Modena's finest - a role often taken up by one Jodie Kidd, to say nothing of the rich and beautiful in exotic locales the world over - but it's a pairing of which we'll never grow tired.

Maserati bringing new sports car concept to Geneva?

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Maserati is in the midst of a major product overhaul. The Quattroporte was recently redone, the Ghibli is a fresh new model and the Levante crossover is still in the pipeline. But what about its two-door line? Surely Maserati hasn't forgotten about those, right?
Not according to the latest gossip, it hasn't. Word has it that in celebration of its centenary this year, the Trident marque is preparing a new sports car concept to unveil at the Geneva Motor Show. Apparently smaller than the aging GranTurismo, the new concept is said to take aim at the Jaguar F-Type - not to mention the Porsche 911.
According to GTSpirit, the concept could pack the Modenese automaker's new twin-turbo V6 or V8 engines, but no matter how many cylinders, it's understood we're likely looking at a front-engine/rear-drive layout and an automatic transmission.
