Why it matters
A new model beneath a body that resembled the 3200 GT: the biturbo engine was replaced by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 with dry sump, and the Spyder was a pure two-seater on a shorter wheelbase than the Coupé.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The Spyder came to market about half a year before the Coupé. It was a true two-seater rather than an open Coupé, and was only about 50 kg heavier than the Coupé.
