lol that transmission? i have that in my 199 alfa romeo 156, its acctually a very old transmission, too bad its only good when your really trashing it where in normal traffic its hopeless
Well as ive posted a few comments thought i would share. Decided to move to the US and just got back from a nice shopping spree for cars. So i sold the Gallardo and stocked up in the US. Garage will be filled with: 1 x Gallardo LP570 1 x Aston Martin DB9 1x BMW M5 1 x BMW M3 1 x Maserati Quattroporte GTS 1 x Land Rover Sport Supercharged 1 x Nissan GTR 1 x Porsche GT2 1 x Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 modified 1 x Cadillac Escalade custom/modified 1 x Audi A8L About half of what i would pay in Aus
The car costs close to $700 000 in Singapore today. With COE and other taxes, a new supercar like this costs this much. This is also the cost of an average condominium in Singapore. The price of a BMW Z4 is $270 000 right now. And for all your info, even a Kia Picanto costs $80 000 and a Suzuki Swift $90 000 in Singapore today. Wanna experience the High cost of living...welcome to Singapore.
I lived and worked in Singapore for 3 years so i know your pain, but you have to pay for living in such a paradise. Its where i would like to retire one day :)

If anyone is interested in a twin turbo kit we can make it comerically otherwise it will be a one of my company does for my car. Will be making custom plenums, intakes and split intercoolers, see how the injectors feel and how the stock ecu finds having them there. Few other bits and pieces to keep its all nice and cool.
whoever said this car was 130k in the u.s. ... you never went to the dealership. seriously ... i just went to the dealership in beverly hills and they are selling their cheapest maserati without anything for 147k. if you don't believe me, you goto the dealership yourself and tell me if its any different. fucking idiots.
Publically the cheapest i can get someone a MGT is $133K USD. As my business is in the automotive business i could get it discounted for myself quit substantially around $100K-$110KUSD.
Anyway encase people wanted to know i sold the MGT and bought a Lamborghini Superleggera. Thought long and hard for the 430 Scuderia but in the end wanted a V10. Tossed up a Audi R8 but didnt like it after a test drive, again felt under powered like the MGT. Soon to be Twin Turbo
I went from a Maserati Quattroporte to the Gran Turismo. Sexy car, performance isnt up to scratch for the money. Will be selling the Gran Turismo to either get a F430 Scuderia, 599 Fiorano or the California. Just not happy with the Gran Turismo. Other option is a Murcielago which i love but not so practicle where i live (it will scrape everywhere). I wish i could afford a Zonda :(
Thats true, however i wasnt born into wealth actually quite the contrary and i know people work their arse off and dont get to own anything close. I worked my arse off and rewarded myself for my dedication, hard work and pure passion for cars.
Correct, for exotics/high end cars you would like more horsepower/kW. Same would go for the Ferrari 360. Both have disappointing power outputs. Anyway still selling the MGT, but ive bought a Audi A8 W12 in the UK. 450 horsepower out of the box and it will be getting twin turboed as of next week. Should make a responsive 700hp thanks to the 6L capacity.
@TVR161 That would be luxury car tax and the rather massive costs of state stamp duty, America is more protected than us in their markets, yet our imported motor cars cost much, much more.
No joke the Corvette ZR1 and ZR3 both cost between 330,000 to 400,000 dollars!!!in Australia.
In America it only costs $120,000, the government wants us to suffer so they can spend their money on $10,000 lunches! Just like one of those silly politicians did, and carbon tax is about to come upon us to!!!
@binyamj I got mine for 165,000usd, something like that, but that was in january 2009. Right now it should be something like 155,000usd. I'd be quite bummed if it went down to 130,000 :S. Where did u get the price from though? The original dealership or from a random dealer?
@Yeyochan I found one at a local dealer for that price, also on the Maserati and they are all around that price on dupont registry. It obviously matters which options you put on, and they could drop the price every year, I don't know about that though.
Its luxury car tax + GST + import duties + State and Federal Taxes+ Registration Costs. Exotics and super cars are about 2-2.5 cheaper in the US and UK. Australia really tries to keep afloat the domestic automotive manufacturing market and doesnt want a repeat of what happened in NZ when they opened up imports without tax. I for won would love to see Australian automotive manufacturing fail. Then people can work for the import market and we get decent cars for cheap.
@binyamj The Australian dollar is actually BETTER than the US dollar right now...by almost 10%....Australia has huge taxes for luxury items. Huge bullshit...So therefore a Murcielago costs about $900,000. Whats even worse, the Rolls Royce phantom costs around 1.4 MILLION brand new...1.1 million more than in the US
@ABostonElite Actually a Phantom in the US is around $400,000, but that's just crazy that Australia marks up luxury/exotic cars by so much money. Do they give a reasoning behind the taxes, or is it just one of those situations where they do it because they can?
@binyamj Theres multiple reasons. 1. Australia has insane taxes for the wealthy, the attitude is, if you can afford to buy the car, you can afford the 100% tax. Also to protect the australian car market, Meaning if you buy a car from GM (Holden/ Chev) you get a brand new car for around 30-40 thousand but if you wanted a BMW for example, a entry model would be at least 50-60. Its just fucked.
my dad has a maserati same model aswell he preferred it than the ferrari and lamborghini casue it has the same horse power, and simply its better as it has 5 interior seats and can fit a whole family with a sexy car like that BAMMMM
This is one of those cars that gives you the same warm buzz deep inside when you see it that you get when looking at a beautiful woman. It's just vintage italian passion and soul in the form of a car. And the presenter isn't too bad either.
Jeremy Clarkson who I disagree with alot does not like the way this beautiful car looks. He nuts. It awesome. There is an elite carbon fiber body kit that add just alittle to make it perfect.
