1st Maserati just ordered

[kmeand]

Just ordered a GranTurismo Sport and wondering about the colour choice.

Nero carbonio with red callipers and Rosso corallo leather.

Not sure if the red is too intense. Thinking about changing to yellow callipers and Nero leather with yellow stitching. Has anyone seen a yellow stitched/Nero leather gt? Only two days to change my mind before the status on the order changes.

Any opinion/view appreciated

Initially I was a bit concerned with a rosso interior but now I have it i love the interior, it gets lots of compliments. Check out some pics on the Granturismo forum under my recent post of new car pics.

I'd love one with red leather, but the other half and the kids think it's a bit much for long journeys. Black with yellow stitching would look really nice!

Thanks, I saw your pics and for the first time thought of changing the order to a cabrio. The colour combo looks great

 

[kmeand]

Pretty much the same thinkin go had. Has anyone ever seen a black/yellow stitching or are there any photos out there.

Welcome, Kmeand.

There was a Blu Mediterraneo with black leather / yellow stitching and yellow calipers on Autotrader a while black. Looked great, in my view (though that blue can be a bit garish on such a big car). I think black with red leather can be stunning but personally prefer the more restrained burgundy than the blood-red leather.

Did you get front parking sensors?

Cheers,
Adam

Yes i was talking about the 100+ mill jackpot.....

Apparently Front Parking sensors are standard on MY2013 although waiting to hear from factory. Slightly challenging ordering a new car when there is no price list available yet.

Full Spec is:

GranTurismo Sport
Nero Carbonio
20" Astro in Shiny Anthracite
Giallo Callipers
Nero interior with Giallo Stitching and Giallo Tridents on headrests
Carbon Pack
Carbon Steering Wheel
Alcantara Headlining
Tooled Aluminium pedals
iPod Connection
Comfort Seats
Dark Chrome Trim
Shadow Pack external, including headlights


I thought - I could make this look elegant or I could make it look angry. And then I thought - if I wanted elegant I would have bought a Bentley so I went for angry.

Looks great! Have you got the pictures from the online configuration tool? Be good if you can post some so we can all dribble.

Which gearbox option did you go for?

Cheers,
Adam

 

[Woody]

Sounds nice. How long do you have to wait for it to be delivered?

 

[bigbob]

Brilliant. Which gearbox?

I took forever choosing my exact spec so understand where you are.

I have the aluminum pedals as well - they are great. I have the ipod lead and it is pap but I use the hard drive instead.

Contrasting stitching is a cheap option that really lifts the cabin. Yellow on black will look excellent. I have blue on tan and it really improves the cabin IMHO.

I have TPMS as well which I would recommend.

Is the iPod connection unnecessary? Can ou upload to the hard drive or connect iPhone via Bluetooth. I was told by dealer iPod connection is essential (maybe for resale?). I might dropmipod connection and add TPMS

Auto box. Really liked the MC shift but mrs k probably not tolerating that one for the days she would use it.
