The GranSport version of the 4200 Coupe was launched in 2004 and the Spyder followed soon after. The styling changes by Frank Stephenson, then Maserati chief stylist, gave the Giugiaro design a much sharper, sportier look. The 4. 2 litre V8 underwent some detail improvement and a new exhaust with bypass valves raised the power output from 390bhp to 400bhp at 7000rpm, resulting in a 0-62mph time of 4. 9 seconds and a maximum speed of 180mph.
The Cambiocorsa 6-speed manual paddle shift transaxle also benefitted from improved software over the standard car with faster change speed in Sport mode. The double wishbone front and rear suspension used Maserati’s patent skyhook active damping technology and firmer, more track focused spring and roll bar settings.
GranSport specification also included new 19” wheels, a new interior including carbon centre console. 472 GranSport Coupes were sold new in the UK and 26 GranSport Spyders.
This car.
Supplied new in the UK by Maranello Sales Ltd in Egham in April 2006 in the classic colour combination of Grigio Touring with black hide interior, the first owner of this car only kept it for eight months, selling in December the same year with less than 6, 000 miles recorded. The second ownership was also short and by 2010 the car was once again for sale, now with 18, 000 miles. It was purchased then by a long-term Maserati Club member and enthusiast, for whom it was a weekend and Club event car, and it led a cossetted life over the next eleven years, amassing another 10, 000 miles in this period, while being serviced regularly by Bob Houghton and occasionally by McGrath.
In 2021, we sold the car to another long-term Club member, who enjoyed it for a couple of years before falling ill. Sadly, we are now offering the car again as part of his estate. The mileage today is 31, 376 and the car is in immaculate condition, with a detailed service history. It is undoubtedly one of the best and priced accordingly.
The car is available to view at our premises and will be sold with an appropriate service carried out and long MOT.
