for me the 1955 Maserati A6G/54 Coupe is possible one of the best looking cars. its the curves

To be honest the 3200 should be in there.....The start of the beginning if you know what I mean...

20 of the best for sure.

Seeing lists like this (Maserati's centenary site are also running a top ten) make me wonder how TG voted Lancia over Maserati.

For me I've just never connected with the Mistral, so in a top ten this would be out to be replaced with the 3200 and simply because it changed the face of GT1, the MC12 has to be in there.

We could argue this for years but IMO there should be no QPs. As much as I love the concept of a 4 door performance car they have always been compromised.

250F, A6G Zagato, Sebring, Mistral, Mexico are a few of my favourites

Interesting. Simply because the QP became so important to, and synonymous with the brand, I'd have to put it in there.

Like you say, we could debate this until the cows come home, but what a lovely selection of Tridents to argue over.

Gransport. All day long. Or an AC.

And the QPV is better looking than the current version.

I remember, about 6 years ago when I still driving my BMW 645 Ci, I pulled into a petrol station in Maida Vale and Jay Kay from Jamiroquai was filling up. It was a black QP and I remember thinking "I've not seen anything that pretty and with so much presence for a long, long time". He was a very friendly fella (like all of us Maser drivers) and it was clear he was very proud to be driving one of these things. He explained it was a QP and said he was really enjoying the car.

From that moment, I knew I had to have one and eventually did. I do think, from a design point of view, the QP 5 was as interesting a change in direction for Maserati as any...
