Now a 6.4l Hemi.... Interesting!

"extreme performance on the street and track. " ??? I'd love to see one of these go round abbeville in a hurry or any track come to think of it. Wouldn't need to be towed out of gravel traps which is a good job since you'd spend most of the time in them!

Talk about forgetting the purpose of a car!

470bhp! Can't see them releasing a 4x4 with more power than a GTS? Maybe this engine will find it's way into the rest of the range!

 

[2b1ask1]

It's got to be well over 2 tonnes though surely? I'd have thought it will be close on 3 tonnes.....

 

[bigbob]

About 2.3 metric tonnes I think. So only 300kg more than a QP.

Only a 5 speed auto so lots of scope for Maserati to take the basics and upgrade loads of stuff before putting £40k on the price.

Are these weights right? taken from carpages.co.uk...



...and I thought the QP was a bit of a porker

What's the difference between kerb weight and gross weight?

What's the difference between kerb weight and gross weight?

kerb weight is how much the woman you pick up weighs.......

 

[2b1ask1]

Kerb weight is the vehicle fully fuelled and screen washered etc. but no people on board.

Gross weight is with maximum occupancy & luggage.... As in if the police think you are overloaded and get you on the pads this is the figure they will refer to! + 5% is a ticking off + 10% and they will issue a ticket + 15% and they will make you unload to a safe weight before you proceed...

 

[dem maser]

how much does a car weigh?? no fuel, no people in it??

whats that??

 

[2b1ask1]

Dry weight is the vehicle without any liquids or passengers (logically) and is often refered to more by motorcycle manufacturers as the vehicles production weight.

 

[Dan!]

That's interesting, so in a QP you can only have 1 90kg passenger on board, anymore and you're over loaded?

 

[Parisien]

Dan...you going to top 1000 posts tonight.............?


Loose your Mille Miglia Sportsmaserati virginity?

[Dan!]

[Parisien]

[Parisien]

It would indicate that from those figures Dan I would think the figures are incorrect

4200 Kerb weight is 1,690 kg Gross is 1,990 kg = 400 kg load total made up of 28 kg in the boot only! so no smuggling gold in your masser!
