Maserati is ready to reveal his new coupe.
There will be a 4-seater Coupé and a 2-seater Spyder, using the shortened floorpan of the Quattroporte.
The body design will be similar to that of the Quattroporte, and the introduction of the new model is scheduled for the Geneva Motor Show in 2007, but it might be show in close period of time. With this models Maserati will resume the collaboration with Alfa Rome. The model will remain a classic coupe with two real rear seats. Rumored engines include a 4.3 L V8 (revised 4.2, 400 bhp), a 5.0 L V8 engine producing 470 bhp (a bored-up 4.2), and a Ferrari-612 sourced 5.4 L V12 engine (540 bhp). Even a V6 Biturbo (approx. 400 bhp) based on the new V6 of the Alfa Romeo 159 is being considered. A surprize is prepared also,a 2+2 coupe-cabrio for 2009.It will be designed by Pininfarina,and the base-price is about 100 000$,competing head-on with the Mercedes SL. The new car’s body will be made from carbon composites and aluminum, while the shifter will be a new paddle-activated sequential manual six-speed from ZF,with a six-speed manual as standard.  Suspension will be borrowed from the Quattroporte, a double wishbones and electronic adaptive dampers all around. It seems that the names will be different, Maserati may use names inspired from the past models. So we may have a Mistral and a Merak going on sale in July of 2007. |
