Re: 2003 Maserati 4200 GT Spyder

[Carscribe@domain.elided]

The correct, original spelling is "Spyder." The name's origin is Germany, and 
was meant to refer to an open, hillclimb car for competition. One of the 
first post-war instances being the unique Porsche Berg Spyder. Note that 
Porsche used the original spelling also. So Maserati isn't so wrong with the 
spelling, but probably can be faulted for using the name alltogether, since 
this car is far from a lightweight, minimal car.
