Maserati Coupe & Spyder

The Maserati Coupe and Spyder, known internally as the M138, debuted in 2001, replacing the 3200 GT. These cars were significant for introducing the Ferrari-derived F136 V8 engine to the Maserati lineup, a 4.2-liter naturally aspirated unit producing 390 horsepower. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the design evolved from its predecessor but adopted more conventional taillights for international appeal.

Collectors are drawn to the M138 for its powertrain. The F136 V8 delivers an iconic Italian soundtrack and performance that's hard to match at its price point. While most examples feature the F1-style Cambiocorsa automated manual transmission, enthusiasts highly prize the rare traditional 6-speed manual GT models for their added engagement and reliability.

The market for these cars represents one of the great performance bargains. With average prices hovering around $21,000, they offer exotic looks and a Ferrari-built engine for the cost of a modern sedan. While values for typical examples have remained stable, exceptional, low-mileage manual cars have proven to be highly collectible, commanding prices approaching six figures.

Prices range from $3,950 for project cars to $96,993 for exceptional, low-mileage examples.
