Giorgio Giugiaro called 1966 his best year of design. The Turnin Italy Auto Show, where 4 of his most outstanding creations were premiered, included one of his proudest, the Maserati Ghibli Spider. With a noble lineage, those previewing its V-8 quad CAM motor and legendary suspension knew it was a direct descendent of the 50's Maserati competition cars. This car boasted an impressive top speed of 168 MPH with its 5-speed transmission and 4.72 liter, 330 HP V-8. Just 1,274 Ghibli Spiders and Coupes were built from 1966-1973.
