This Italian Beauty runs like a race horse and gets a lot of attention. The lines of the car and the exhaust note are simply hypnotic! The F1 system shifts flawlessly and is just a blast to drive. Life begins when you press the blue Start button! The Brembo brakes will prepare you for any turn and the 400hp motor will rocket you out of it. The heated sport seats will keep you locked in place as you whip this car through turns. The smooth V8 will throw you against the seat...be ready when you step on the gas pedal!

A word about maintenance:

As any educated purchaser of Italian cars knows, maintenance is key to these vehicles. We have the records to prove we have maintained the car! (Before purchasing any exotic car, always ask to see the maintenance records!) This 2005 Maserati Gran Sport has been expertly maintained and just had a major service completed this month by Exotic Car Specialties of VA. (Feel free to search the Maserati Life forum to find out more about Josh and the crew at ECS of VA - They are excellent mechanics.) The valve cover gaskets (including spark plug seals and Variator Solenoids have been replaced as one of the valve cover gaskets was just starting to leak oil. This job alone is over $1,700. A major service on it just completed this month was over $1,300. The car is ready for a great driving season and will only need a minor service next!

Why we are selling the Gran Sport:

We had purchased the car a few years ago from Ferrari & Maserati of Washington. The car, as truly awesome as it is, has become a garage queen and my schedule regretfully does not give me time to drive it much anymore. We have never taken the car out in poor weather conditions.

Aftermarket options & Misc. Items:

The car does have aftermarket window tint and a clear bra on it. Dealers today are charging around $1,500 to put a clear bra on one of these cars. After seeing how well bugs clean up off the clear bra and the lack of chips in the paint because of it, I have become a believer in the clear bra. It has done an excellent job protecting the front of the car. We also have all of the keys (including the valet key) and the books to go with the car.

Here are the things I think you should know in the interest of full disclosure:

The front license plate holder did break on a low dip in the road. There were NO scratches on the bumper as the license plate holder took the hit. There is also a small dent on top of the right fender that can only be seen from certain angles. The front tires are a little choppy as there was a delay from when I put them on to when I had the car aligned (the alignment is good now.) There is still a lot of tread on the tires, but they are a little noisy. The window tint is inline with Virginia state law (50% on the front doors and 35% on the back windows). You may need to change the tint depending on your state's laws. There is a small scratch on the left headlight where something had flown up on the highway and scraped the lens. The lens is not cracked and few people even notice the scratch. Finally, there are no cup holders in the car thus making Starbuck's runs a little challenging. Other than those things, everything else on the car is in excellent condition. I am happy to send more pictures of specific things if you like.

Shipping and Payment:

Shipping is fully the responsibility of the buyer. The car will be available for shipping once full payment has been received and funds have cleared. We will deliver the car anywhere within 50 miles of Shenandoah County, Virginia for free if needed for shipping. We do recommend using an enclosed shipping carrier to protect the vehicle. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction closing and full payment is due within 7 calendar days of the auction closing. If full payment is not received within 7 calendar days after the auction closes, the buyer forfeits the deposit. The car currently has a lien on it. Therefore, it will take me a few weeks to get you the title.

Watch Maserati prep this Quattroporte for Geneva by hammering on its sheetmetal

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There are untold amounts of primping and set up that goes on in the days leading up to an international auto show. Of course, there are exhibits to erect, lights to hang and scripts to rehearse. There are also cars to prep. Usually the latter involves little more than removing finger prints and dusting, but in the case of Maserati the day before the Geneva Motor Show press days, the process apparently includes banging on the sheetmetal of one of your prized showcars like a crazed woodpecker.
We're not sure what caused a surface irregularity in the door skin of this 2014 Quattroporte - perhaps shipping damage - but it was interesting (and mildly painful) to watch, and hear, a show prepper attempt to repair this six-figure sedan with what looks like a jeweler's hammer, high-intensity light and soft cloth.
That'll buff right out.

Maserati plans to launch Alfieri and GranTurismo by 2018

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Maserati reportedly aims to have the next GranTurismo and the Alfieri (concept above) on the market by the end of 2018. According to Drive, we should see the GT sometime in 2017, and the production Alfieri doesn't arrive until 2018. The company's five-year plan in 2014 originally slated the Alfieri to arrive first in 2016 and the GranTurismo in 2018. The Alfieri will have a modified version of Maserati's current chassis, but the tweaks will incorporate more aluminum, which will make the new sports coupe lighter. "Today the architecture is shared between Ghibli, Quattroporte, and Levante," Maserati engineer Davide Danesin told Drive. "With the Alfieri we think we need to make another step on the architecture so we're going to arrive at another more sporty architecture, with some common basis but with development from there." The Alfieri and GranTurismo will also likely use Maserati's latest turbocharged V6 and V8 engines. However, the power will only go to the rear wheels because the company doesn't think all-wheel drive is right for them. "So let's say for the next sports car we don't foresee all-wheel drive to be the best option for the style. We also have some solution for some sports cars with all-wheel drive for the future but that is not what we're working on now," Danesin told Drive. After the stunning concept in 2014, the longer wait for the production Alfieri is disappointing, but at least the model appears to be still on the way. Recent rumors suggested the 2+2 sports coupe was on hold because of the weakening market in China. Company boss Harald Wester also refused to speculate about the model's future at the Geneva Motor Show, but he said the GranTurismo would arrive first. Related Video:

Jay Kay's 1955 Maserati A6G/54 on the docket for Pebble Beach

Sat, 26 May 2012

Gooding & Company has revealed the highlights of its consignments for its Pebble Beach auction during the action-packed Monterey weekend. At the top of the list is the classic 1955 Maserati A6G/54 Frua Berlinetta currently owned by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay. This Maserati, the show car from the 1955 Paris Auto Salon, features Frau coachwork, won Best in Show at the Salon Privé, and is expected to fetch between $1.5 and 2 million.

Finally, an original 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra is on the docket, with pre-sale estimates at $750,000 - $950,000. See below for the full press release and watch this space as the classic car world gears up for Pebble Beach.
