1984\u21921988 Maserati Spyder<\/h1>\n

The Maserati Spyder was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in November 1984, three years after the Biturbo on which it was based. The wheelbase was shortened by nearly 12 cm (4.5″) to 2,4 meters (94.5″) with styling by Zagato of Milan, where it was also assembled.<\/span><\/p>\n

The engines were the same 2.0 litre unit for the home market and 2,5 litre for exportation as already found on the Biturbo. Folding roof with Alcantara headlining. Launched with leather interior and golden Maserati watch on the dashboard. Among the 3,793 buyers of all the Spyder versions we find four-time F1 champion Alain Prost and Sir Elton John, as well as Mrs. Ursula Piech whose husband headed Audi at the time.<\/p>\n
