Dressed in Dark Aquamarine Metallic, the car's paint and trim are in overall very good order, as is the matching, power-folding top. The car's bodywork is straight and solid and the body-colored bumpers fit tightly.

This convertible rolls on 205/60R14 radials, each mounted to a factory wheel. The tires and wheels are all in good, original condition.

Under the hood is a 2.5L 18-valve V-6 engine with a Weber two-barrel carburetor and twin turbochargers. Backing the engine is a three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes and cruise control.

Inside, the car's Panna (cream) leather interior offers a striking contrast to the exterior hue. The front bucket seats are in decent condition, as is the contrasting black carpet. A four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver, the dashboard is in good shape while the inner door panels look great. The center console, the console-mounted shifter and a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo round out the interior.

The convertible iteration of the Biturbo was designed and assembled by Zagato in Milan. It was Zagato's first work for Maserati since the A6G/2000 30 years earlier. Embo of Caramagna was first commissioned to develop a four-seater cabriolet version of the Biturbo, which was shown at the April 1982 Turin Auto Show but their proposal never made it to production.

The Spyder was built on a 94.5-inch wheelbase, some 4.5 inches shorter than the coup's. Still, since it is a strict two-seater with folding rear seats, the luggage space was larger than in the original Biturbo. It was on this short chassis that the sporty hardtop Karif was later developed. Overall, 3,076 Spyders were built over a 10-year period. This was a production record for open-topped Maseratis.

The cars in the Biturbo family were of unibody steel construction, with a conventional layout of front-longitudinally mounted engine and gearbox. Suspension was of the MacPherson strut type upfront and semi-trailing arms at the rear, with coil springs, double-acting dampers and anti-roll bars on both axles. The differential and rear suspension arms were supported by a subframe.

The first Spyder was launched at the Turin Motor Show in 1984. It was offered with both the 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre "export" engine. Two years later, fuel injection was implemented and the car was now called the Spyder I. 297 were made with the 2.0L engine and 122 with the 2.5L engine.

Competition to this Maserati droptop in 1986 included Aston Martin's Volant, BMW's 325i Cabriolet, Bitter SC Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz 300SL Convertible, Saab's 900 Turbo Convertible.
