I'm confused... The Quattroporte didn't fare will with the paddle-shift, so they added the new automatic - much better car now. Then I see the GranTurismo with the same auto and I think, that's good, Tiptronic still drives much better than Cambiocorsa. Smoother automatic mode and still a quick manual shift, even though it's not a manual. Now they launch a Cambiocorsa version of this and call it a better version of the GranTurismo. I don't predict this transmission will be as popular as the auto, because I don't think it will drive as well. IMHO I think Ferrari should stick to the idea of Maserati being a GT company, and keep the hardcore sports cars under the Ferrari badge. After all, I still see much more interest in the regular versions of the old Coupe and Spyder compared to the GranSports anyway.

I just can't understand why it needs to weigh over 1700kg, it's always going to be a massively compromised sports car at that weight.
Because it's GT car! It’s not meant to be a light nimble racer.Just needs to have a big thumping engine half decent performance and more luxuries than you can shake a stick at.

Get my GranTurismo tomorrow morning and a letter of intent for the new version has been drafted already.
The S looks stunning - a real alternative to Aston DB9s.
The GT will fit in with your rather nice collection of cars very well!The S looks stunning - a real alternative to Aston DB9s.
The 997GT3 for hooning and track days, the Carrera GT for supercar blasts, and the Granturismo for any big jaunts! Not jealous at all.....
The only real problem i had with it was the satnav system, but they're a big bugbear of mine anyway....
