Maserati’s most exciting car at present – the GranTurismo – will soon be given a beautiful sister, and she’ll be walking around topless at times: Spotted at the German Nürburgring earlier on Monday was this prototype of a Maserati GranTurismo Spider.
Judging from the heavy camouflaged packed onto the car and in par with the brand-new Ferrari California, we reckon the Spider will be given a retractable metal roof rather than a conventional canvas top. Competitors like the Aston Martin DBS, on the other hand, will not follow this trend and will soon come with a traditional soft top. A Porsche 911 Cabrio, too, will never be built with anything but a canvas roof.
Earlier reports suggested the GT Spider would be available with both soft and hard convertible tops.
Different from the new GT Spider’s predecessor, the new model will apparently come as a 2+2- rather than a pure two-seater. Engine and mechanics of the Maserati Spider won’t change compared to the coupe, so expect a base model with a 405 horsepower 4.2L V8 and an up-level S model using a 433 horsepower 4.7L V8. We expect the convertible to debut at the 2010 Geneva Show.

Spy shots are looking like shots of beautiful pregnant women. Not exactly a porno material.
