The Maserati Barchetta is a mid-engined, open-topped racing car designed by Carlo Gaino of Synthesis Design for the one-make Grantrofeo Barchetta series, which ran in 1992 and 1993 in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. It had an aluminium backbone chassis, Formula One style suspension geometry and carbon fibre body panels, giving a total weight of 775 kg. Its mid-mounted Maserati AM501 V6 displaced 1,996 cc and produced 315 PS, driving through a six-speed ZF manual gearbox with straight-cut gears, for a claimed top speed above 300 km/h. Sixteen racing examples were built by hand at the De Tomaso factory in Modena, plus two prototypes, one racing and one road-going. It was one of the last Maserati models built under De Tomaso ownership.
