requirements need to be in place when choosing fabric to detail this car. such as, the cloth needs to be designed by saints and hand delivered by virgins. truly a car for poeple motivated by passion.

It's based on a shortened Quattroporte chassis, which I think is specific to the marque. It is Ferrari engined though.

If I could have one car, this would be the one. I've always loved Maserati, from my first Chicago auto show 34 years ago. But this Maserati outdoes all of its predecessors. No, it does not give top end performance like the Bugatti Veyron, but neither does it have its stratospheric price tag. As far as combining elegance, power, style and engineering, I'm not sure even Aston Martin can match the Gran Turismo. The S version gives 35 more bHP and hits 60 mph in 4.9 sec, with 183 mph max.

Nice car? This car is the definition of "gorgeous" (Jaguar, eat your heart out!) - from any and every angle. Drive it and you realize how sublime and yet exciting this car can be.  I know, cos I've got one! By the way, it's NOT a 2+2 (that's Jaguar with two useless rear seats) - you can actually seat 2 adults behind.

[resdes213]

i know

[lazios]

it's a GT...2+2.

not extreme sport-car.
