**************************************NO RESERVE ! ************************************************NO RESERVE !********************************************************************************************** I'm sad to say that it has come time for me to pass on this great car to a new owner, unfortunately due to recent sholder surgery I can no longer drive a manual :( vin # ZAMBB18A920006027
This 2002 Maserati Spyder GT has been a blast to own. With its 4.2 Liter V8 engine putting out 400hp , coupled with a 6 speed manual gear box makes for a very fast and fun car to drive. Its distinctive look with large chrome trident front emblem gets a tone of looks where ever I go. This car has been very well maintained has low miles (46,000) with recent service. Over the summer I replaced the intake manifold gaskets, the mass air flow sensor, new secondary air pump, new oxygen sensors, new front and rear brakes with cross drilled rotors, new alternator , new battery and new front shocks. This car is equipped with the cold weather package so it does have heated seats, power windows, locks, power mirrors, a/c blows cold, convertible top works properly, xenon head lights, navigation and cd changer. This car is also equipped with the skyhook adaptive suspension which allows the car to corner like a dream. I did modify the exhaust and it truly does sound like an F1 car going down the street, not too loud but definitely has a nice low rumble on start up and acceleration ! I also did have some carbon fiber stripes installed on hood and trunk lid along with some nice carbon fiber wrap on the bottom skirts with the Maserati Spyder GT Emblem. Paint is clean, metallic black with a nice deep rich shine to it and next to no blemishes! only has one small door ding on the passenger door which is hardly noticeable, the interior is dark charcoal leather and is in great condition with no rips or tares! Never been in any accident, completely clean car history ! I have listed it as a no reserve auction so please only bid if you have the funds to purchase if you win. Happy Bidding! and I will leave you with a review on the car from when it first came out from road and track magazine ! Enjoy!
Modena, Italy — Old rivals, hardened from decades of battle on the racetrack and in the marketplace, laid down their swords when purchased Maserati in September of 1997. This March, the storied marque with the trident logo makes its return to U.S. with the 2-seat Spyder after an 11-year absence. The new profits heavily from synergies with Ferrari on engineering, production and distribution fronts, though Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo was quick to point out the differences: "If you want an extreme car — extreme in terms of drive, performance, design — you have to buy a Ferrari. If you want a sports-car attitude, GT, more comfortable, not extreme but sport, you have to buy a Maserati." At which point he urges the waiters at Il Cavallino, the famous trattoria on Ferrari's Maranello grounds, to speed up delivery of pasta and truffles. "I'm talking about a sports car, and we have to show that even in the kitchen we have a sports car!" Built in a thoroughly modern factory — inside the original brick structure that was Maserati's Modena home after its move from Bologna in 1939 — the is a serious performance car that uses the 3200 GT as a jump-off point. From that base, much has been changed, starting with an all-new 4.2-liter 90-degree V-8 that's 1.2 in. shorter and 44 lb. lighter than the 3200 GT's engine, despite an additional liter of displacement. Lubrication of the aluminum/silicon engine is via dry sump, and the Formula 1 experience shows with three scavenge pumps and one pressure pump, packaged with the water pump, in a neat bundle on the side of the engine. Roller chains drive four camshafts, the intakes under the control of a variable timing system, actuating four valves per cylinder via bucket tappets with built-in lash adjusters. Output is an impressive 390 bhp at 7000 rpm, with peak torque of 333 lb.-ft. at 4500 rpm. Drive is taken through a small-diameter twin-disc clutch, and then through a driveshaft running in a torque tube that rigidly connects the bellhousing to the rear-mounted 6-speed transaxle. And that's where Cambiocorsa (Italian for "race change") comes into play. Developed by Magneti-Marelli and fine-tuned by Maserati, the system uses twin paddles behind the steering wheel for hydraulically actuated shifts in 0.25 second (the actual gearchange, without the clutching and de-clutching, takes place in a scant 80 milliseconds). A conventional 6-speed transaxle will also be available in the Spyder GT. A tour of the assembly line allowed us to view the entire drivetrain before it was mated to the chassis, complete with steel subframes to which elegant aluminum links and forged aluminum hub carriers attach. A large Brembo brake disc and 4-piston fixed caliper caps off each double-wishbone corner. There are a suspiciously large number of electrical leads coming off each front hub — the usual ABS wheel-speed sensor, perhaps one for brake pad wear — but the third lead is for an accelerometer for the Skyhook adjustable damping system. With a total of six accelerometers — on the body, each front hub and the right rear strut — the system's computer can compare the motions of both chassis and suspension and quickly adjust the damping accordingly. A console-mounted switch gives the options of Normal and Sport baselines, settings that also affect shifting aggressiveness.

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
Ghibli PHEV will launch Maserati's electrification offensive
Mon, Jan 27 2020The hybrid variant of the Maserati Ghibli announced in 2019 is allegedly scheduled to make its public debut during the 2020 Beijing Motor Show. The yet-unnamed model will launch the Italian brand's electrification offensive. Sources familiar with Maserati's plans told Automotive News Europe the Ghibli hybrid will greet the public for the first time when the Beijing show opens its doors on April 21. Going hybrid in China makes sense on several levels. It's an important market for Maserati, the current-generation Ghibli (pictured above) broke cover at the 2013 Shanghai auto show, yet it's a country it has struggled to gain a secure foothold in. Adding electrified options to its range could give its annual Chinese sales a big boost because officials are promoting cars with a plug to curb pollution. There's no word yet on what kind of hybrid technology the Ghibli will receive, though Automotive News Europe speculated it will be a plug-in setup capable of powering the sedan on electricity alone for short distances. Similarly, it's too early to tell if the Italian firm will drop a hybrid powertrain into the Ghibli as we know it and push it to the market, or if it will also make visual, tech, and other mechanical updates to the seven-year-old model. Maserati hasn't commented on the report, and it hasn't announced when the Ghibli hybrid will make its debut; it only pledged to release the model in 2020. Similarly, we don't know if the sedan will be sold in the United States yet. We've reached out to the company for clarification, and we'll update this story if we learn more. Looking ahead, every model Maserati releases will incorporate a degree of electrification. Some will be hybrids, we expect the existing Quattroporte and Levante models will receive gasoline-electric technology, and we know the replacements for the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio due out in 2021 and 2022, respectively, will be the firm's first battery-electric models. There's a new sports car right around the corner, too, and rumors indicate it will be aimed at the Lamborghini Huracan Evo, but we'll need to be patient to find out what's under the camouflage.

Alfa Romeo will gain a Jeep Compass-based SUV
Fri, Nov 30 2018It was reported earlier this week that FCA would invest into its Italian factories to ramp up production at currently underutilized locations. Those plans have now been clarified with official information from FCA, as reported by Automotive News. The entire investment is worth $5.7 billion. First of all, Alfa Romeo will gain a new compact SUV based on the Jeep Compass architecture. The still-unnamed model will be available as a plug-in hybrid, and it will be built in Pomigliano, Italy. No U.S. availability has yet been announced, but it would not be odd to see the Compass-based model sold below the Stelvio in the States. The last time Alfa Romeo had anything similar in its model portfolio was when it offered Crosswagon-badged four-wheel-drive versions of the 156 and 159 wagons. As for the Jeep Compass itself, it will begin to be built at the Melfi plant in Italy. The rumored small "baby" Jeep slotting under the Renegade has not yet been officially mentioned. Fiat will introduce a battery electric 500, built in Turin, and the Pomigliano plant that will make the compact Alfa Romeo SUV will also be used to build a mild hybrid version of the Panda city car. The 500X will gain a PHEV variant. The Stelvio platform will also spawn a corresponding SUV for Maserati, and FCA also mentioned Maserati will introduce a new, unnamed model it will make in Modena. Automotive News quotes Italian press as saying this will be the Alfieri coupe and convertible, also offered as battery electric versions. Related Video:
