Maserati Biturbo Spyder 1986 Black/tan on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
I have kept my Biturbo Spyder in a climate-controlled garage with temperature stabilization and air filtration (keep pollen out, etc.) . But that's not all. I have also taken exceptional good care of it. As a result, the car's overall condition is spectacularly good and not not just for its age.
This is a 1986 Biturbo Spyder with dual turbos. It has a 2.5 Liter V6 engine. Odometer reads 52,390. It's easy to make sweeping statements about the car's condition - but as we all know - the devil is in the detail. I am willing to provide as much detail as possible, so here's a go at it. The condition of the chassis is extraordinarily good. To begin with, the car is rust-free thanks to climate-controlled storage. It has made a world of difference. No body panel has rust or any corrosive damage. The car has been carefully examined. The car has never been in an accident. There is no frame damage or stress of any kind. It has not been stored in, or exposed to cold weather. The condition of the paint does reflect its age (as seen under ultraviolet light). However, the shine remains superb thanks to relying on Zymol "Ital" glaze with 47% Brazilian carnauba wax. One of my photos shows the 20 foot ceiling's reflection on the hood. This wax resists just about anything including sun damage. Inspection of rear view mirrors mounted on the doors shows excellent condition of the plastic, trim, and mirror. The plastic rear window is also clear and the stitching has no defect. The interior of the car is also excellent. Take note of the condition of the instrument cowl, and the wood trim (crisp edges and no warping or fading). The convertible top fits nicely but is a bit tight-ftting at this time (needs use to loosen it up). The seats are in very good condition. Not just relative for their age, but very good - period. The plastic in the a/c vents and control buttons is sound but may be developing brittleness (they are coated with "conditioners" to keep them safe). The windshield glass is superb. Clean etched lines. Excellent visibility. No nicks or damage. The windows are in very good condition. The wheels are in very good condition with minor signs of wear and tear. The tires are in good shape. The electricals are in good condition thanks to climate-controlled storage. I include a photo of a circuit board to give you a detailed viewpoint. The car has just had its oil sump cleaned out completely (it had no sludge). The oil filter is new. The air filter is new and I have another one. Here's the bottom line: you can "save" money by buying a cheaper car only to spend more money returning it to good condition rather than buying this excellent car. Why waste time and money "restoring" to normal operation? Take this car to a higher level of performance instead. I am putting together a detailed report with more photos so that I can email to interested bidders. Nearly forgot to mention - brand new Sears DieHard Platinum battery $229.99 with 850 cold cranking amps & high performance features. |

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Maserati introduces Ghibli to Americans in Super Bowl spot
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles aired three commercials during this year's Super Bowl, and the first spot was given to Maserarti during the first quarter of the big game. The 90-second ad was used by Maserati to introduce its new midsize Ghibli luxury sports sedan to a very captive American audience.
Called Strike, the Ghibli commercial tells the familiar tale of the little guy who waits around for the world's giants to let down their guard. Scroll down to watch the spot yourself and let us know if it lives up to the high bar that Chrysler brands have set for themselves in past Super Bowls.
Maserati teases MC20 prototype again reminiscing about the Targa Florio
Tue, May 26 2020Maserati spent its weekend reminiscing about victory in the 1940 Targa Florio, putting an MC20 prototype to work enhancing the gravitas of the anniversary. After winning the Targa in 1937, 1938, and 1939 with the Maserati 6CM and its 1.5-liter supercharged inline-six throwing 175 horsepower, the House of the Trident showed up in 1940 with the brand new 4CL powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder cranking 220 hp. Luigi Villoresi, who'd driven the 6CM to triumph the year before, crossed the line first in the 4CL to close out European racing until the end of World War II. With a return to racing on the automaker's mind, Maserati took a camouflaged MC20 to the same Favorita Park roads that hosted the Targa. The soft-focus spy shots were taken in front of the Floriopoli stands, a stretch of bunting and banners not far from the Targa start line as historic competitors headed into the Sicilian mainland. The MC20 is as photogenic in these shots as all the others, and as mysterious. The automaker seems intent on making everyone wait until the September debut to for any details that the prototype doesn't put on display. Prime among enthusiast interest is the powerplant. With Ferrari shutting down its supply of engines to the fellow Modenese sports car maker, Maserati says its new mid-engined coupe will be "the first car to use [its] new engine, brimming with innovative technological contents, developed and built by Maserati in-house." Short odds figure on a molto potente twin-turbo V6 sending power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the long money isn't afraid to bet on a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8Â to replace the F154 V8 that Ferrari provides. With race engineers undoubtedly sorting out a version for sports car racing as we speak, Maserati will certainly hope the competitive version matches the exploits of the 4CL. The vintage race car took pole in its first race, earned its first victory two races later, snatched up a bag of silverware before WWII, won the first race held in Europe after the war ended, and continued winning in 4CL and 4CLT trim until 1951 to take 31 total victories — nine more than the MC12 race car.
