These photographs of the soon to be released Maserati Spyder were taken from a web-site dedicated to the new car and well worth a look:

This all new Maserati is due for release in September in Bologna near the Piazza del Nettuno under the watchful gaze of Neptunes statue whose distinctively shaped trident inspired its adoption as the symbol for Officine Alfieri Maserati SpA. It is this statue the club features on the Supplementary Regulations and on the results for Club Track Days.

The new Maserati Spyder will be powered by an all new 4.4 litre naturally aspirated V8. The twin-turbo of the present 3200GT will end its life with that car - a move criticised by many due to the valuable experience Maserati has developed with turbo-charged engines.

The Maserati Spyder is NOT a variant of the 3200GT but is in fact a completely new car though similar in appearance to the 3200GT.

As will can be seen from the rear view of the car the distinctive boomerang rear light treatment of the 3200GT has been abandoned on the new Spyder.  Apparently as a result of market research in the US where customer opinion favoured the new treatment. The US market is of course the principal target for Maserati and the longevity of the marque is dependent on its success there.
