| Sold for $77,000 at 2011 RM Auctions. | |||
The Maserati Sebring was named for the company's win in the 1957 Sebring 12-hour race and evolved from the 240 short-wheelbase 3500GTI Spyders built by Vignale. These vehicles were built with the United States marketplace in mind. These 2+2 coupes had four headlights, air conditioning, an automatic gearbox option to its ZF five-speed gearbox. The seats were fitted with leather, there were four-wheel disc brakes, and many of the car has wire wheels. The 4014cc DOHC six-cylinder fuel-injected engine produced 255 horsepower which was enough to carry the car to 150 mph, with the quarter mile coming up in 16 seconds.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at RM Auctions Arizona sale where it was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $80,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $77,000 including buyer's premium.

The Maserati Sebring was produced from 1963 through 1969. The name 'Sebring' was used to honor the victories Maserati had earned at the prestigious 12 Hours of Sebring race. The 2+2 coupe design was courtesy of Alfredo Vignale who had also created the prior Maserati vehicle, the 3500GT. Both sat atop a shortened wheelbase and were designed for US market.
Under the hood was a six-cylinder 3485cc engine that was later upgraded to a 3694 cc unit. A five-speed ZF manual transmission drove the rear wheels while disc brakes provided the stopping power.
A prototype version of the Sebring Series I was introduced at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show. Production of the Series I lasted from 1963 through 1964. In 1965 the Series II was introduced which brought with it slight aesthetic improvements which brought the design more in-line with the Frua-designed Quattroporte. Under the hood a new 3.7-liter engine could be found that produced an astonishing 245 horsepower. This was later improved to 255 horsepower with a larger 4-liter engine.
