Maserati is known for turning out passionate Italian sports cars, sedans, the odd supercar or two, and an SUV. Utilizing tech and sharing engines with Ferrari, Maserati’s character has remained distinctive and quirky, for those who aren’t quite looking for a full-fat Ferrari, or Lamborghini. In 2001, they introduced the Tipo 138 (Type 138/M 138) model range, encompassing a two door coupe and convertible. The Tipo 138 ran for six years, and was also known as the Maserati 4200. This 2005 Maserati Spyder M138 is one such example to consider, with under 29,500 miles done since new, and a few things to be attended to.
Exterior and Interior
With lines penned by Italian automotive design maestro Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, it’s no surprise that this 2005 Maserati Spyder M138 sports classically stylish design cues, beautifully brought out by its dark blue paintwork. Chrome accents offer some contrast, notably the badging, side air vent trims and front grille surround. The wheels are shiny seven-spoke alloys. Quad exhaust tips out rear allow the lustrous V8 to sing music for the surroundings. It’s reported that the convertible top does not function on this car. The interior features a gray color theme. Whilst the coupe was a proper 2+2, the convertible is a strict two-seater. The driver grips a wood-trimmed steering wheel and faces a set of clear gauges with the Maserati script, including a rev counter excitingly redlined at 7,500rpm. Paddles are present for gear shifting duties, and a stylish analog clock takes center stage in the console, right between the central air vents. The seller recommends replacing the current radio unit with a new one. You’ve also got climate control and the usual powered conveniences of electric seats, windows and mirrors.
Engine
Shared with Ferrari, the F136R engine in this 2005 Maserati Spyder M138 is a 4.2L V8 unit that pumps out 385hp and 332lb-ft, and features a cross-plane design, dry sump lubrication, and an aluminum and silicon alloy crankcase and cylinder heads. The transmission in this example is a six-speed Graziano automated manual unit that can be actuated via steering-mounted paddle shifters, or left to automatically shift as desired. It’s also integrated with the differential and located at the rear, granting the car a 48/52% front/rear weight distribution. Zero to sixty is a five-second affair, whilst the top speed is rated at 176mph.
Inspection
The 2022 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo represents the pinnacle of Maserati’s flagship luxury sedan lineup, blending handcrafted Italian luxury with genuine supercar performance. Unlike the lesser Quattroporte variants, the Trofeo is powered by a Ferrari-derived twin-turbocharged V8 that transforms this executive sedan into a high-performance grand tourer capable of exhilarating acceleration while maintaining the comfort expected of a premium luxury car. Showing just 18,884 miles, this Nero Ribelle Mica example is further equipped with desirable factory options including the High Premium Audio System and Four-Zone Automatic Climate Control, making it an exceptional combination of exclusivity, performance, and everyday usability.
