EXTERIOR
Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Italdesign, externally this Maserati Gran Turismo Coupe has sleek aerodynamic lines and a muscular design worthy of the Trident heritage. Finished in stunning Verde Mistral, (Code 203370), the paintwork is virtually unmarked with just a few carefully touched-in stone chips. All trim is unmarked including the clear parabolic Carello front lens covers and the beautiful curvaceous tail has immaculate slender boomerang-shaped taillights. These were the first on a production car to use LED technology and are instantly recognisable. All glass is factory fitment with the Maserati logo and the supplying dealer, Maranello, number plates, front and rear screen stickers and tax disc holder remain fitted. The wheel arch apertures are squeaky clean and the underside is amazing being testament to fair weather use only and pampered storage. One of the best proven examples and a Maserati reminiscent of the firms Golden Past.
INTERIOR
The Maserati Coupe epitomises luxury and ergonomic efficiency with sumptuous supportive seats and room for four adults. With a combination of Cream/ Avario Connolly leather with Verde piping and Verde deep pile carpeting the look is inviting and harmonious, complementing the exterior perfectly. Such was the importance of creating the perfect interior, this example is even expensively optioned with the suede headliner and leather stitched dash. All controls, gauges and options work perfectly. Door shuts are spotless and all factory stickers are present. There are no sticky dash issues. The untouched boot area houses the full Maserati tool kit along with the original tyre inflation kit and packaging. This really is an incredible factory fresh interior commensurate with the pampered enthusiast upkeep.
ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & SUSPENSION
The heart of this Maserati Coupe is the 3. 2 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine developing a thumping 370bhp. It is not just the ability to reach 60mph from standstill in 5. 1 seconds and a top speed of 174mph, but the rapid power delivery and sound of engine that stir the emotions. The engine bay is extremely clean other than some flake to the aluminium sparkplug cover. The six speed manual ZF transmission engages smoothly with a light clutch action having been replaced in 2023.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Sculptured 18inch alloy wheels have no damage and are shod in premium Michelin Pilot Sport 4 235/ 40 ZR18 front and 265/ 35 ZR18 rear tyres fitted new in 2022. Brembo braking with ventilated and drilled discs with duct cooling to the front, stop the car quickly and safely and the four-pot aluminium brake calipers in silver with the Maserati inscription look fabulous.
