This is a Cambiocorsa model, with a 6 speed semi-automatic transmission that can be shifted sequentially with FI style steering wheel paddles, or it can be used in "Automatic" mode, and the mechanical shifting is done for you by a computer. Here's how the transmission works..."Cambiocorsa (Italian, meaning "race change") is an electrohydraulic manual transmission that uses a Formula One-type gearbox with hydraulic operation and electronic management operated by F1-style paddles behind the steering wheel, similar to the system used in Ferrari vehicles. The system allows the driver to choose between four different operating modes: Normal, Sport, Auto and Low Grip. Each of these programs is selected by means of console-mounted buttons, corresponding to different types of operating mode. By switching between the Normal and Sport modes, the driver can select between different electronic stability control settings and, if installed, different active suspension settings. The Normal mode provides a more comfortable ride, whereas the Sport mode stiffens up the suspension and provides fast gear shifts of around a quarter of a second. Automatic mode electronically handles shifting of the transmission, but allows the driver to rapidly revert to manual using the F1-style paddles. The Low Grip, or Ice mode, allows for smooth starting and gear changes on snow and ice."
This car has been upgraded with the Formula Dynamics Enhancement Module for improved throttle response and power delivery. The Ferrari-derived V8 4.2 liter engine (the same basic engine in the Ferrari F430) is factory rated at 390 horsepower, and runs perfectly and sounds fantastic! The car drives great, brakes and steering and suspension function perfectly.
Car comes with original books, manuals in their original Maserati cases, along with the original two keys. See photos, and feel free to ask questions. The car is turn key and ready to be driven away, with clear title in hand.
