MASERATI IN THE NEWS
2006 Maserati GT Coupe
By Paul Lienert / Special to The Detroit News

Maserati's
next-generation GT coupe and the companion Spyder convertible are due
to be replaced in late 2005 or early 2006 by two-door models built
on a shortened Quattroporte platform.
Engineers
are currently testing "mules" of the new cars near the Maranello, Italy,
headquarters of Maserati's sister company Ferrari, using modified Quattroporte
four-door bodies to disguise the new mechanicals.
The
new GT and Spyder will share a number of underbody components with
the Quattroporte, including a Ferrari-built V-8 engine and rear-mounted
Cambiocorsa transmission.
The
next GT, while remaining a two-door, will seat four adults in a more
spacious and luxurious cabin. Look for the sticker price to rise nearly
10 percent.
