The seller offers for sale this 2002 Maserati Coupé 4200 F1 Cambiocorsa, a striking Italian sports car known for combining high performance with elegant design. This Maserati is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 engine, an engineering collaboration with Ferrari, producing an exhilarating soundtrack and robust power delivery. It features the F1 Cambiocorsa automated manual transmission, providing fast gear changes controlled via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The car has covered a verified 72,000 kilometres, with its odometer reading supported by a documented service history. The last major service was completed at 71,232 km, ensuring that mechanical maintenance is up to date. Notable enhancements include a retrofitted “Grand Sport” package, featuring 19-inch alloy wheels, lowered suspension, and wheel spacers, all legally registered in the car’s official documentation. The Maserati retains its original black metallic diamond-effect paint, which remains in beautiful condition, further protected by a recent paint sealant application. At 71,000 km, the car received four new summer tyres and a reinstallation of the original suspension springs, balancing both aesthetics and ride comfort. Additionally, a RODEK 4-channel power amplifier has been installed, enhancing the in-car audio experience.
The exterior condition of the car is described as beautiful, with the paintwork showing no significant signs of wear, damage, or the need for correction. The body panels and finish retain a high level of gloss, reflecting the care the car has received. Inside, the cabin is presented in good condition, featuring high-quality leather upholstery and a well-kept non-smoker environment. Some minor issues are noted: the headliner has been refixed or adjusted, the dashboard air vents require replacement due to wear, and the CD drive is reported as defective. Mechanically, the Maserati is in good health and comes with a valid technical inspection certificate.
The Maserati Coupé 4200 F1 Cambiocorsa emerged in the early 2000s as part of Maserati’s resurgence under Ferrari ownership, replacing the earlier 3200 GT. Introduced in 2002, it represented a significant step forward in engineering and driving dynamics. Its naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 engine, developed in collaboration with Ferrari, produces around 390 horsepower and is renowned for its free-revving character and rich exhaust note. The Cambiocorsa transmission brought Formula 1-inspired technology to the road, allowing lightning-quick gear changes without a clutch pedal, enhancing the car’s sporting credentials. The suspension was engineered to balance comfort and sharp handling, offering a composed ride yet agile responses on winding roads.
Visually, the Maserati Coupé 4200 is distinguished by its clean Pininfarina styling, with flowing lines, muscular rear haunches, and the iconic Maserati grille. Interior craftsmanship is classic Italian, featuring luxurious leather, stylish details, and a driver-focused cockpit. Despite these qualities, early Cambiocorsa models gained a reputation for requiring meticulous maintenance, especially regarding gearbox components and electronic systems, making service history a critical factor in purchasing decisions.
The retrofitted Grand Sport package on this particular example enhances both appearance and handling, offering a sportier stance and more aggressive aesthetic. While not a Grand Sport model per se, the upgrades bring elements of the later, sharper Grand Sport variant, which was introduced in 2004 with tweaks to styling, suspension, and engine tuning. Ownership of the Maserati Coupé 4200 provides a unique experience: the thrill of Italian engineering coupled with Ferrari DNA, wrapped in a grand touring package that remains exclusive and highly evocative. Although overshadowed in value by its Ferrari cousins, the Maserati delivers genuine exotic appeal and performance for a more attainable price, increasingly gaining recognition among collectors as an emerging modern classic. Enthusiasts prize well-maintained examples for their engaging drive, beautiful exhaust note, and elegant design, ensuring the 4200 remains a compelling choice for those seeking a distinctive sports car experience.
