Sport Speciale A Scottsdale, Arizona family commissioned the birth of the Sport Speciale Spyder. It is a totally scratch build created by the award-winning restoration coachbuilder, The Creative Workshop, Dania Beach, Florida. A one-in-the-world car. With modern engineering and traditional Carrozzeria build techniques, this hand built, one-of-a-kind masterpiece is a seamless fusion of style and performance. A car that provides soul and character that no modern car and few classics can emulate. In January 2011, the Speciale was independently appraised at a replacement value of $1.5 million. Appraisal as well as all build invoices are available. Quite simply, the Speciale is special….on the road or track…for any collection and at any concours. Yet, if the owner so desires, it can even serve as an excellent every day driver. Completed in late 2007 after a build involving over 7,000 man-hours and two years, the Speciale was inspired by the big displacement European racecars of the late 50’s and early 60’s. The vision behind this car was to take queues from cars such as the Ferrari TR 59/60, Aston Martin DBR1, Maserati 450S and others. The next step was to marry that style, look and attitude to state-of-the-art technology underneath the tubular chassis and hand-formed, lightweight aluminum body, resulting in enhanced performance, safety and drivability that those old racers could only dream of. Powered by a F1 inspired Dinan Performance custom build performance BMW aluminum V12, the theoretical performance of the 2,300 - pound 6-speed Speciale is 251 mph; 0-60 in 3.6. Displacement is 5972 cu.in., 480 lb. ft. torque. Weight ratio is an amazing 5 lbs. per hp. (450 hp.) Fuel delivery is a custom Hilborn-style AEM fuel injection. 12 injectors and stacks. Fully programmable. Front suspension is fully adjustable, independent, dual wishbone. Racing coil-over shocks. Fully adjustable, racing anti-sway bar. Rear suspension is Jaguar-style independent rear “drop-out” sub-assembly. Indoor disc brakes with 4 coil-over shock absorbers. Auburn limited slip differential. All which deliver an extremely comfortable ride. Brakes are (front) Brembo racing discs and calipers, (rear) Wilwood racing discs and calipers. Steering is BRT rack steering. Although the “guts” of the car are hi-tech, the details are all original and authentic. Gauges are original Veglia, the steering wheel original Nardi, the lights are original Marchal and Carello. Switches are Magneti Marelli and the wheels were built at the Borrani Factory in Italy, as were the hubs and the knockoffs – on the original jigs that built the same Wires for the Ferraris of old.

The Sport Speciale has earned an astounding amount of worldwide press coverage, including publications in more than 32 countries:
The Speciale was created to be driven and not as a “trailer queen.” Despite being shown sparingly, the Speciale has always won Best of Show or Best of Class in any competition entered, including Cavallino Classic Sports Sunday, Concorso Italiano, Festival of Speed, and the Rocky Mountain Concours among others. Despite the fact that the Speciale was built to be driven, it has logged just above 6,500 miles….the owners are fortunate enough to have a stable of cars. The Sport Speciale will retain its exclusivity, as it will never be duplicated unless the owner decides otherwise. Coachbuilder letter re: (exclusivity available.) Accepting all REASONABLE offers.

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
Maserati Ghibli overtakes Levante, headed for Shanghai?
Wed, 13 Feb 2013While earlier reports indicated that the next Maserati product out of the gate would be the Levante SUV, Motor Trend is now reporting that the Audi A7-shaped Ghibli has cut in line. Word is that we may see the new Ghibli as early as the Shanghai Motor Show in April.
Citing unnamed sources, MT predicts that the minds at Maserati now see a more pressing need to fight off the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series than to go after luxury utes. However, if our spy shots of Ghibli prototypes are anything to go on, it's also likely that the sub-Quattroporte Maser won't be a traditional sedan. The car above's long nose, low roof and brief, sloping rear deck all bring to mind Audi's lovely A7, Meaning the Ghibli may fall into the always murky four-door-coupe/luxury hatchback genre.
Bi-turbocharged iterations of both a V6 and a V8 should make up the early powertrain choices for the Maserati, meaning the top-spec Ghibli should have loads of shove to match its promised good looks.
