[4] In 2018, Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera announced the creation of a homage to the 5000 GT with a Maserati GranTurismo-based Sciàdipersia.

The engine received little modifications for road usage, those being an increased displacement of 4,937 cc (4.9 L) and a reduced compression ratio of 8.5:1.

A second car was built to be displayed at the 1959 Turin Motor show which was bought by South African millionaire and Kyalami track owner Basil Read.

Other coachbuilders were as follows: In 1961, Bertone built a one-off 5000 GT that featured a body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
