Maserati 4200 GT generations
1 generation (2002–2007)
The first and only generation of the Maserati 4200 GT was produced from 2002 to 2007 exclusively as a cabrio. Power output spans 390 to 400 hp, and all six modifications drive the rear wheels through either a manual or an automated manual transmission. Every version uses a 4244 cc engine. The Maserati 4200 GT 4.2 MT (1 generation) delivers 390 hp with a manual gearbox, while the Maserati 4200 GT 4.2 Cambiocorsa (1 generation) tops the range at 400 hp with an automated manual.
Which Maserati 4200 GT to buy
- 4.2 MT (390 hp) (1 generation): the most common choice — 390 hp from a 4244 cc engine, 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds with a manual gearbox and RWD.
- 4.2 Cambiocorsa (400 hp) (1 generation): the most powerful version at 400 hp, matching the manual's 4.9-second acceleration while shifting through an automated manual.
- 4.2 MT (390 hp) (1 generation): the thriftiest of the listed versions at 15.9 l/100km, still with 390 hp and 5.0 seconds to 100 km/h.
Because the entire 2002–2007 run is a single generation with one 4244 cc engine, used-market shopping is straightforward: there are no cross-generation differences to untangle, and the choice mostly comes down to gearbox type and condition of the specific car. The gap between the earliest and latest cars is only five years, so later production simply means a younger example of the same design.
Which Maserati 4200 GT to avoid
No version is clearly dominated by the numbers. The 390 hp manual and the 400 hp Cambiocorsa post the same 4.9-second acceleration, so neither gearbox costs you measurable performance — pick by transmission preference rather than by spec sheet.
