Crazy tones

 

[StuartW]

How many times have we heard the end of production of the Granturismo is upon us though? Nice paintwork however

 

[conaero]

I hope it never ends Stu, if I am honest!

Really not sure about that paint job but I appreciate where they are coming from.

Me too Matt, to the ordinary punter, it’s no design statement,
It’s more like, did they run out of paint, and just cover the primer

 

[Gazcw]

I wouldnt want to try and colour polish the nose and the fade out into matt. Be a nightmare and don't you have to use different products on matt paint?

 

[outrun]

There's a reason why you don't see 3 coloured fade paint jobs on cars. Not even the hot rod guys do it.

The marketing team are now scraping the barrel of new ideas to sell a car that is now 12 years in production. To put that into perspective, Lambo would sell you a Gallardo and Ferrari an F430 waaayyyy back on 07.

I love them but come on.

Maserati going to be autonomous!

What is the point of that?

The world is going crazy

 

[Ewan]

That is comically horrible. Farcical even.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Any one of those colours would be great. Just not all of them.

 

[Andyk]

Looks like they started to paint it but ran out of paint so went to lunch.

 

[philw696]

Must be my age but I don't get that at all.
The best response to it was MAF260 on their Facebook page no holding back at all now he's a Bentley Boy I thought at first he was Peaky Blinder.

 

[Wattie]

I’ve just been a little sick in my mouth.
If that Is the future they’re in bigger trouble than we think.

 

[Hawk13]

Nope - don't like that.

 

[allandwf]

I think they should have gone the whole hog and given it completely different alloys on the back too.

 

[Doohickey]

It does look terrible (although it's getting quite a lot of love on the GT owners Face Book page).

However, if they are going to start producing something else in Modena for the middle of next year, they are going to have to stop production soon to re-tool. That would tie in with what we were told in September.

 

[FIFTY]

Ouch! It hurts my eyes whenever I look at it.

I guess that fits in with where Maserati are taking the brand with their "lifestyle" brand image... Just look at their instagram page, says it all really.

When I was a kid, my mate had two Triumph Herald convertibles. He popped in a Vitesse engine, cut them in half and welded them together. Front brown and rear white. He left it like that.

Perhaps it’s a yoof thing?

Sounds about right. In fact, I think that's more or less how they came from the factory.

That transverse rear leaf spring was perilous if you came off the gas mid corner, do you remember?
