GranTurismo picture thread

Why two of the same color? Why not different colors?

It’s very hard to buy a 2 seat Strad in the UK in any colour other than white or black, as of the approximately 40 cars imported, most were these. And I’m not so keen on white. (This is the car on the left, as you look at the picture).
The car on the right is my GC-MC and when I bought that it was the only one for sale. Also very rare, so the chance to buy a different colour is quite remote.
So, same colour and same spec (both have black interiors, though the roof lining in the Strad is blue), but different cars and quite different in how they drive, one being manual, the other auto.

Zep, you need to do this, it really works on the black.

I agree. I’m soon to do it to mine. But I’m having them made in a slightly more subtle combination of dark grey and mid grey, as opposed to the factory originals of red with light grey.

A friend can do them in any colour you wish, and can show you a mock up on his computer first. Way cheaper than from Maser also, at something like £300 all in, including the matching roof Trident, fitting and VAT. He’s based in Poole.

Good move Ewan.
Mine are also non OEM and can be done in a range of colours, including yellow to match the calipers for the OCD amongst you. I didn't go as far as the roof but I was tempted!
Mine were done by a reputable Chinese decal company who use the same brand materials as most European manufacturers. They do a range of decals for various Maserati models and I will be using them again in the future I'm sure.

Hmm. My car is soon to be visiting the south coast.

Good info - thanks.
I am still learning the differences in the models.

Couldn't resist posting this one from an unusual perspective, such a beautiful car.

That’s an awesome deal. I would be tempted back to Maserati if I could find a 4 seater black strad

Lovely back drop ...... where?

 

[daverichardson]

I think it may be outside Castleton towards Blakey Ridge? N Yorks?

Bang on Dave, was halfway ish between Blakey and Hutton Le Hole.

In an Attenborough style voice “the natural environment of the Maserati GranTurismo”

Such a beautiful thing the GT, there’s not a bad line on it and a true ageless design don’t you think

Cheers chaps, I’m rather fond of it too! Looks stunning when clean and in the right light
