Why it matters
The Spyder is the open-top version of the Guarà, and only three were built. The prototype, a converted coupé demonstrator, was shown at the 2000 Turin Motor Show and used by the factory for press events. Its open-top design ended the Spyder run once the cars moved to Ford engines.

History
The Guara was launched in 1993 to succeed the Pantera SI and was De Tomaso's last production model. It shared its central spine chassis, made of aluminium honeycomb with ribbed light-alloy subframes, with the Maserati Barchetta. Three body styles were offered (Barchetta, Coupe and Spyder). Early cars used a 4-litre BMW V8; from 1998 Ford 4.6-litre engines were fitted.
