Spy Shots: 2008 Maserati GT coupe

Update: Maserati's new GT Coupe has just been revealed. See all the details by clicking here.

The new coupe is being penned by the geniuses over at Italian design house, Pininfarina (the original was done by Italdesign-Giugiaro) and will come in both Coupe and Spyder forms. Chief designer of the new coupe is Jason Castriota, the man behind the 599 GTB and Glickenhaus’ P4/5, meaning the obvious Ferrari overtones may just make it to production. The most likely engine will be the current 4.2L V8 but with increased displacement, up to 4.5L with power around the 500hp mark and will be shared with Alfa’s 8C Competizione.

For the $110,000 expected price tag, owners will receive cool features such as the carbon composite and aluminium construction and a new and improved ZF six-speed with paddle shifters in place of the older Cambiocorsa unit.

    I usually like examining a good photochop, but when the parts are so easy to spot it is not fun. Especially when the final result is a strange concoction of other manufacturers models.
    Surely this artist has no respect for Maserati. I think that all such work should be given to Huckfeldt?
