Anyone had a Maserati Shamal ?

I quite like the style of this car, sort of like a Quattro.
Anyway just wondering is someone had one, and what they think/thought of it.

Last year when we were out a midnight run, I spotted a Ferrari garage, we stopped and saw one outside. I initially thought it was a Lancia - then I looked at the badge

No I dont have 26k or so spare

I think it looks cool but - £26k - get a grip

Ghibli Cup is a better option...

I own a Shamal and out of all my cars it has given me the most pleasure.
Only 50-60 were ever made which makes them rarer than most exotics and even rarer for a Maser it has kept its value too and no doubt be a bit of a collectors item.You can also tune the v8 to give a nice amount of power mine is over 400bhp which is plenty for the road.Regarding the difference between the Ghibli Cup and the Shamal ,the CUP has less torque and runs on boost but is a great car , on the other hand the Shamal is more of a beast to drive and feels very different as it has a short wheelbase and when driven hard is very fast!Shamals always turn heads wherever you go even more than my Ferrari the only downside is getting parts sometimes.

That one has been for sale for ages - no surprise.

Do you mean it should be more, or that I should have more money ?

If you want a shock, check out the price of a Lancia Stratos (upto 400,000 Eur)

Slightly different, I think.
