Quattroporte GTS for same money is so much cooler.
I'd love a QP GTS from 2010 or 2011 as a keeper along with my GranTurismo - there are a couple for sale now in PH classifieds but not in the spec. I want.
I'm keeping an eye on them too.
Apart from the white one at P...D..V.......
Is that off limits for everyone then? wink

No, it's really not.

It looks like something out of the early 90's, and not in a cool way.
I beg to differ. That's what opinions are all about.

Any excuse to post a picture of mine. smile



It had the MC suspension pack and was a lot of fun in the corners.
I sold it to help fund a new business and would love to have another one.

I put together a spreadsheet the other day for me to track prices of stuff I fancy. 997 C2S, Evora, R8, Vantage etc.
Wow, interesting.

I hope I never end up sat next to you on a plane.

Here's mine. Had her for around 2 years. It's the MC shift version, which in my opinion makes the ride a bit more involving, although I hear it does shorten the clutch live.



An easy car to drive day to day, great for long GT journeys. The exhaust note is very melodic and the overrun and downshifts sound magnificent. Infotainment unit is outdated, but I don't really use it much so it's a non issue.

The 4th year service bill was a bit eye watering though.

One of the most enjoyable cars to drive at legal speeds.

Been tempted before and I'll be tempted again.

I notice that prices for nicely specced GranTurismos, like this one, are now nearly on parity with the older GranSport.

This is a bit tempting; I think my GS is a fantastic car, but they were never built to the highest standards and after 12 years of use it is starting to feel a bit fragile. It still drives like new, but every year it costs more to keep it feeling fresh.

It looks like I could swap my GS for a younger (and healthier?) GT for not much extra money. I'd go for a 4.7 MC Shift like this one.

Has anyone gone from a GS to a GT? How different are they to own and drive?

These look stunning in red smile. Was the 4th year service at a Maserati dealer?
