This 2002 Maserati Spyder was originally delivered to Maserati of Houston in Texas and was later purchased by the current seller in September 2003. Since then, the car has traveled approximately 42,000 of its total 44,000 miles.
Finished in striking Rosso Bologna Metallizzato over a Beige leather interior, this Spyder is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine paired with a Cambiocorsa six-speed automated manual transaxle. The engine, part of the F136 family jointly developed by Ferrari and Maserati, features dry-sump lubrication and a factory oil cooler, producing a rated output of 390 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through the computer-controlled transaxle, which includes column-mounted shift paddles for an engaging driving experience.
The exterior is complemented by a power-operated black soft top, 18″ multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires (2023 date codes), xenon headlights, fog lights, a mesh front grille, and quad exhaust outlets. The suspension setup includes Skyhook adjustable dampers, while braking is handled by black calipers gripping cross-drilled and ventilated discs at each corner.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed with Beige leather and features power-adjustable seats, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped, though it shows some bubbling at its center, as does the leather on the center console. Instrumentation includes a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,500 rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level.
During the seller’s ownership, a sport exhaust system was installed in 2004, further enhancing the car’s performance and sound. Additionally, a Pioneer head unit with aftermarket speakers, Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a rearview camera were fitted. The original factory head unit is included with the sale.
Cosmetic blemishes include a dent on the driver’s quarter panel, scratches on the passenger’s quarter panel, and tears on the soft top. Despite these minor imperfections, this Spyder remains an attractive and well-maintained example of Maserati’s early 2000s roadster.
Additional items included in the sale are the original window sticker, owner’s manuals, service records, spare parts, a car cover, a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or damage, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Maserati Spyder combines classic Italian styling with impressive engineering and a thrilling driving experience. This well-preserved example offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Maserati history with desirable upgrades and documentation.
