This Maserati Gransport has a 400 horsepower Ferrari-based 4.2 liter V8 engine that looks, sounds, and feels amazing. The engine revs so quick, it just begs you to merge onto the highway open it up! The transmission in this car is equally impressive with technology that is very similar to Formula-1 race cars. It has steering wheel mounted paddle shifters that can make gear changes in a fraction of a second or you can put it in full automatic mode and just enjoy the drive at a leisurely pace. This Maserati is in phenomenal shape inside and out. The paint and body are nearly flawless and the interior is exceptionally clean. The seats are very comfortable GranSport bucket seats that have nice side bolsters and they are power adjustable in every way. Everything works flawlessly. I keep this in my private jet hanger in Scottsdale, Arizona when it is not driven, and it is available to see at almost any time.

The engine, which is related to the 4.3-liter V-8 in the upcoming Ferrari F430, is "blueprinted"-built with selected components to finer tolerances than the standard Maserati-and has a different exhaust system and inlet manifolds. And taking a cue from Ferrari, the exhaust system has a pneumatic valve to reduce back pressure and make a gloriously rich sound when the "sport" button is pressed.

4,244 cc 4.2 liters V 8 front engine with 92 mm bore, 79.8 mm stroke, 11.1 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder
It has SkyHook active dampening suspension which can instantly adjust the firmness of its shocks in a corner to prevent body roll and gives incredible handling without affecting overall ride quality. The GranSport also has a slightly more tuned exhaust system with by-pass valves for additional horsepower and a slightly more aggressive tone in the upper RPM range.

My Maserati was a theft recovery from the insurance company. Many states unfortunately require that the title is changed to a salvage title after a theft recovery.

Maserati was a theft recovery. Many states unfortunately require that the title is changed to a salvage title after a theft recovery. I have a Maserati dealer pre-purchase vehicle inspection report showing every quality aspect of the car, the maintenance and the absolute clarity that this car was never wrecked. Zero frame damage, no body panels were replaced. This has now been issued a reconstructed title in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles performed a complete inspection in compliance with the Arizona Department of Transportation to prove that this vehicle is roadworthy in the same manner as it was originally built at the factory.

KBB value of this vehicle is $46,383. NADA is $52,200. This is priced to sell.

Robb Report reviewed the GranSport in February 2006 in their Car of the Year competition:

A fierce but distinguished daily driver The GranSport is a refinement of Maserati’s Coupe Cambiocorsa, with extra power, tighter suspension, aggressive but tasteful bodywork, and interior options that set this sports GT apart from every other car in its class. The update of Italdesign-Giugiaros original form appears handsome and purposeful The GranSports considerable power derives from a delicious, high-revving V-8 The sound throughout the rev range is worth the price of admission especially when the car is in Sport mode, when freer-flowing exhaust and quicker shift mapping add layers to the motors music. One would not be insane to buy this vehicle for the exhaust note alone The best electronic gearbox on the market apart from the Ferrari 612, this may be the only GT in which four adults can travel in comfort, which places it high on the daily-driver list. The Maserati also will appeal more to the performance-oriented driver who wants a less flashy exterior, a superior fit and finish, and a race-derived drivetrain.

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 Alfieri Concept seen and heard in early leak [w/video]

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

As is so often the case ahead of a major debut, somebody wasn't able to keep the latest concept car from Maserati under wraps all the way until the drawing of its curtain at the Geneva Motor Show. The low-slung silver coupe you see above is said to be the Maserati Alfieri Concept, and, though these images aren't exactly the greatest, it looks pretty good. We like the small proportions of the Alfieri and the aggressive look of the car's front and rear fascias, and we certainly note a more assertive design than the Granturismo it would likely replace.
Rumor has it that both V6 and V8 engines may be on the table, mounted up front and driving either the rear or all four wheels, but we'll have to wait for official confirmation before we know for sure. In any case, this new Maserati, if it does go into production, is tipped to line up against such sporting contenders as the Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911. Check out the two leaked images above, watch and listen to the car move under its own power in the video below, and feel free to let us know what you think in the Comments.

Latin music star Ren? P?rez destroys own Maserati to send kids a message

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Can destroying a car be art? That question comes a bit too late for the Maserati Quattroporte seen above. The act depicted is from the music video for Adentro by Puerto Rican hip-hop act Calle 13 new single.
While the video is not yet online, the making-of featurette is available below and shows the luxury sedan getting beat with a baseball bat (and more) by the group's frontman René Pérez. According to Latin Gossip, Pérez wants to send his fans a message not to place too high a value in material objects. The Maserati represents a time in his life of too much excess, it seems...
The guy might have an argument, but it still seems pretty wasteful to destroy a perfectly good Italian sports sedan. We will be curious to see how far the destruction goes, but you can get a peak at it in the video below.
