Perfect mas

[highlander]

Ok, watching the 2010 TG episode with the QP GTS in it has made me think.......what would be my perfect real mas and imagined mas. For me it is the QP GTS for real mas and a spyder 32 with the twin turbo kick as the imagined. What are your two?

 

[Classico]

My perfect Vintage Mas would be a 450s. Love that sheet metal. Car **** and what an engine.

Real: Stradale with four seats. (Yeti, you know you want to export it to OZ once you get bored of it) lol

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS....Perfect ...... That is all I would need ............... but maybe imagined...MC Stradale...Lighter....with 580 bhp.... or maybe a Gransport lighter with the 4.7 upfront.

Now that sounds interesting a gs with 4.7. I wonder if that's possible.

 

[Andyk]

Would have thought so..

I'd have a Bora, and a modern one, if they did a smaller version of the Granturismo I'd have that, but with reasonable spare parts prices, and a caring factory! You did say it was a fantasy

 

[Bourekoue]

For me it has be the QP Sport GT S although it would have been very interesting to see what the new QP would have turned out like if they had kept to the same philosophy and kept Pininfarina to design it.

Now there's a thought Adam....

 

[StuartW]

Just the one for me, I'm not greedy - an MC12 would be nice.

 

[Ebenezer]

Now what about a 2 door QP (the DP?, QP Coupe!? I'm not talking about the GT which is gorgeous as well. I have a real thing for 2 door 4 seaters. Started with the Jag XJ6 Pillarless coupe. Something along those lines with the QP, maybe with 4 gills on each side

Perfect existing would be one of these, truly classic car, as for fantasy car its the Alfieri, i think Maserati have nailed the dream car, but i would like it to be reliable, economic , extremely fast and the same price as a mustang

 

[Mr.Cambio]

I would like my current 4200, with a lot more torque, let's say 55kg, instead of 45.
A Stradale with the sound of a GTS, too.

I quite like this one https://grrc.goodwood.com/race/historic/goodwood-greats-1935-maserati-v8ri#8pU17leO4tkio9Db.97 as my daily run around

And this one as a dream https://grrc.goodwood.com/road/news/conceptual-art-maserati-lamaserati#QlsxFIjTUTVAraQO.97

We think it is, but it's not as easy as it sounds. With the can bus system the sensors provide very specific information and if the right information isn't sent, as from a 4.7 engine to a 4200/GS ECUs, then it won't run. The best way, if they fit, is to use the 4.7 engine internals with the 4.2 block so all the electronics remain standard. The 4200/GS ECU could then be programmed to run the bigger displacement. I reckon it would be a massive job to transfer all the sensors, wiring and ECUs across and get them to work correctly with the CC transmission.
