In 1985, Maserati presented the Spider version of the Biturbo.

Zagato will design the project on a base shortened by 114 mm compared to the sedan.

By remaining very close to the original of Andreani, he refines the front and creates there, as Maseramo Al likes to write, a "weapon of mass seduction for Latin-lovers"

On the engine side, we find the 2l and 2.5l biturbos already in existence. The Spyder will even be powered in 2.8l and will have 3 restylings during its career.
