We'll try to remain prizeless. Just looking at the $121,000 GT is enough to make you vibrate, so you can imagine what happens when you actually drive it.  You lean into the throttle coaxing the Maserati-designed, Ferrari-built, 4.2-liter V-8 into delivering as much power and speed as your lawyer and bank account can handle.

The transmission complaints have been blunted for 2008, with the addition of a six-speed ZF hydromechanical automatic, and now the rest of the car has gone under the knife for 2009. The biggest change for '09 is the inclusion of the GranTurismo S's front-mid-mounted 4.7-liter V-8 in the new Quattroporte S. Standard... 51221425d4934c59b876a7455d73cb15 /Article/2012_Maserati_Sports_Car/3260 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 07:32:58 GMT It's a clear hint of a more dynamic Maser, competing not only with Aston's V8 Vantage, but also with Porsche's 911.Maserati has been through some tough times.

The comeback was possible because of new models like the Quattroporte Automatic and the brand-new GranTurismo luxury coupe. Demand for Maseratis has been growing, pushing production to an all-time high of about 9000 cars.

A new-look grille should bring the Quattroporte’s looks in line with that of its more aggressive sibling coupé, the GranTurismo.Meanwhile, bigger front air intakes will feed a new... 6d9254164ea0ddf86ea17b137b608a01 /Article/Spy_Shots_Facelifted_Maserati_Quattroporte_with_California_GT_engine/2709 Tue, 20 May 2008 06:36:25 GMT Autocar's spies have caught the next Maserati Quattroporte undergoing testing, and judging by the copious quantity of camo covering the front end, a serious facelift is underway. The new fascia is expected to take cues from the Gran Turismo, complete with an elongated schnoz, gaping maw and deeply drawn headlamps that will lend some cohesion to the Maserati brand while eschewing any comparisons to the Buick LaCrosse. Out back, the changes are expected to be subtler, with a center brake light added to... a668c63aeeb322fcb5b66d5023c17713 /Article/Maserati_Quattroporte_Bellagio_Fastback_concept/2083 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:16:41 GMT The Maserati Quattroporte defined the modern comeback of Maserati and has been praised for its looks and design the world over.

However, if you had to pay the necessary £78,605 from your own pocket and then finance the ongoing bills you might think twice. That is not to say that you wouldn’t end up with the Italian supercar anyway but along the way you would check out the rival Jaguar XKR, Porsche 911, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW M6, Mercedes-Benz CL500... 51d34c38aaff1b30b97215d8a208f299 /Article/Rendered_Speculation_Maserati_GranTurismo_convertible/1369 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 20:41:33 GMT Onwards and upwards seems to be the new battle cry at Maserati.

In the words of Jason Plato from Fifth Gear: “It’s a bit like marrying a supermodel, then finding out a couple of weeks later she likes reading books.” But of course, that’s until you hit the Sport button or just cash out extra money for the 440-hp GranTurismo S.
