Maserati Ghibli Spyder Campana
The Maserati Ghibli Spyder by Carrozzerai Campana
Vehicle Overview
The Maserati Ghibli Spyder Campana is a rare variant of the Ghibli lineage, developed through a collaboration between Maserati and the Modena-based coachbuilder Carrozzeria Campana. Initially introduced as a coupé in 1967, the original Ghibli was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro during his tenure at Ghia. Characterized by its long, low profile and sharp-edged design, the Ghibli was powered by a front-mounted 4.7-litre V8 engine derived from Maserati’s racing units, producing around 310 horsepower and enabling a top speed near 250 km/h. In 1969, Maserati officially introduced a factory-built Spyder version. However, production of this open-top model was limited, with only 125 examples completed, including 45 in the higher-performance SS specification. Due to the limited availability of the official Spyder and ongoing demand, Maserati authorized Campana to convert Ghibli coupés into Spyders, using original components and adhering closely to factory specifications. Campana carried out these transformations with precision, utilizing Maserati-supplied parts, including body panels and trim. The result was a finished vehicle nearly indistinguishable from the factory-built Spyders. These conversions retained the mechanical specifications of the original models: a quad-cam V8 engine paired with either a five-speed ZF manual gearbox or an optional three-speed automatic transmission. The chassis featured independent front suspension with coil springs and a live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, maintaining the ride comfort and dynamic handling of the original design. Exterior modifications included the removal of the coupé roof and the integration of a folding soft top that stored cleanly behind the seats. Interiors were typically upholstered in high-grade leather with wooden dashboard elements, preserving the luxurious atmosphere of the Ghibli range. After Maserati ceased official production of the Spyder, Campana acquired remaining body tooling and continued to carry out private conversions. These vehicles, though unofficial, were often built to a high standard, making them desirable to collectors. The Campana-converted Ghibli Spyders occupy a distinctive position in Maserati history, reflecting a period when bespoke craftsmanship could extend the life and appeal of a limited-production model.
