Oh I do hope your right about the GTS, £50k then I will take 2!

Nice find Simon, hows your GS coming along?...are you still coming to France in a few weeks?

Bar a wheel centre cap, and a bolt for the engine cover, she is reborn! New engine, new air intake, new manifold, new clutch and thrust bearing! with luck, I'll collect tomorrow - it's practically a new car and yes, Ferry booked, can't wait - who's for Blackjack!?

Yep, got this on email today as well. So this is what the spy shots were and yes they have moved the pipes. Wish they'd re-modeled the rear bumper, but it'll no doubt grow on me. Otherwise it looks stunning. Wonder what the other changes are and what it'll retail for?

 

[Andyk]

Was just thinking that the spy shots must have been this........I doubt there will be much change from 115k for it..What do you think.

 

[Emtee]

450bhp, new suspension, brakes, mapping etc. Two seater only..

Don't think there'll be much change Andy, maybe 120 - 125K?

 

[Andyk]

Two seats....sounds yummy...so must have a roll cage in the back then...That would be cool.

 

[GransportFan1]

it is on the wish list.

A smidge over 100k...according to EVO........11BHP more just doesn't seem enough for such a machine.

No No No dont want one
Dont lke the Smile an the roof dont flip

No NNo Luve it
Lookng good

 

[conaero]

The carbon brakes are like £20k or something ridiculous arn't they?

I recon £120k upwards

 

[dem maser]

its more than scuderia money or even 599 money so i dont think itll be a success, ill prefer to but a gts for 70k and not bother to change a thing and have 60k in my account than buy this for 11bhp more

 

[Andyk]

You could get the extra 11 bhp in a GTS by adding some upgrades. In fact you couls probably get more than that for 10kish......Saying that lets just see what the reviews are like as I do like the idea of a more focused GT...But going to say again still struggle with 11 bhp more which I still think is all about Ferrari sticking their nose in..

 

[SimonM]

it will all depend on the weight reduction - below 1600Kgs would be good. based on the 4.2 GS,you'd expect at least another 30 horses available by the time FD get their paws on it. Over 300hp per ton is where it needs to be I think.... regardless, after i''ve got it drunk and I've smeared honey all over it's body I'll forgive it all it's flaws...........

 

[BigFoot]

It won' be that light. Weight reduction is 100kg or a tad more.

 

[SimonM]

is that for sure Bigfoot?

Think the GTS weighs 1880kgs - the "advert" says it's the lightest, fastest most powerful road maserati ever.... nice use of language there, I assume they believe we'll forget they said "lightest" by the time we get to "powerful"? ......don't you just love marketing twaddle?

 

[dem maser]

i got a degree in marketing , yes thats very clever thats exactly what thy hope for
