It looks a bit radioactive....
Interesting toy; normal car is V4 2000cc 185hp manual or automatic.
This one is a V6 1-MZ 3000cc and can produce 310hp easily with the TRD supercharger. I had a gearbox management/computer made for it, to give it full auto/flappy paddle/race mode. The V6 polished and chrome engine is aluminium and is the same weight as the stock V4. The mid-engine rear wheel drive car weighs just over 1200 kg making it exciting to drive on twisty roads but you really have to respect it in the wet, because it will try to kill you. It is the only one known to be in existence with this type of setup and is going up for a photo shoot on Wednesday to appear in several car magazines around about Christmas time.
The Maserati will give me a comfortable performance car which I look forward to using in France. Last summer we often nipped over on a Friday evening and spent a couple of nights in different French chateaux eating some excellent food.
Just out of interest I phoned the insurance company for a quote that came in at £960 with 75% discount, I was expecting more than this and was very surprised.
