New Spyshots Maserati Granturismo

[Oneball]

What’s wrong with the red?! The problem is I’d have to have a second hand one which would have been spec’ed by you lot. You do know they changed the test card to colour in 1967 and there are other holiday destinations apart from Skegness?

For me its the lights and those scoops on the bonnet that just make me shudder.

The scoops are just like on one of the Wonky Donkeys, there was one at Prescott a few weeks ago and they work ok in the flesh.

OK is one thing but its no Pininfarina design, thats for sure

As has been said before…..this car will improve through the production run….the end of life Trofeo could have MC20 power, different bumpers and lights…..

I'm interested to know what can be done without messing with any electronics as I suspect that doing that will cause warranty issues. Will a new set of pipes/cats etc be sufficient or will the new GT through codes and go into a hissy fit.

If only I knew someone with a garage that could try it when the time comes....

Hum

I like red but not that one. It may be the light they have photographed it in but it doesn’t show off the car for a launch car colour.

from being a sceptic, I like it more every time I see a new video / picture. A lot of that is that it’s very similar to the old one but modernised. Love the rear and less so the front, but it works overall

It’s true!! Mablethorpe is just up the coast.

What a thing of beauty! A marque to be truly proud of …

I love the red! lol.

Re-the design - I also didn't like the headlights initially but they have grown on me. (still prefer the ones on the earlier car though) Love the rear, brings it up to date with the MC20 lights. The rest, well, its almost the same as the outgoing one, so that a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

I still don't like the front air intakes much, but I didn't like the ones on the 2018 car either. I don't know why they are so angular on what is otherwise an entirely curvy car.
However, I WILL put up with them if someone wants to buy me one.

I agree with that not fan of the front lights looks epic from every other angle bar the front one

As I understand it the issue for noise is the particulate filter and that’s what Novitec have removed.

Isn’t it illegal to remove GPF’s and won’t doing that invalidate MOT and insurance?

To be fair, this is getting “oohs” from even non-Maserati aficionados…

Personally think this is a design classic and have thought so since we saw the first proper un draped shot earlier on this thread…

Why would you get a 911, AM or a significantly more expensive Roma over this?

Let’s wait and see what the prices are.

And then some of us wait a bit more for the 2nd hand prices

Complete agree. Will be the most beautiful GT if not car for sale.

Two reasons probably for many I would imagine…Reliability and dealer network. Lots still will not bother due to reliability reputation which Maserati still are saddled with.

Price will play a major part in success as well. PH said it is pitched between the 8 series BMW and the Bentley so that is a bit of a window. They need to undercut all the major competitors to just bring customers in but on the past I don’t think they will…120k/130k sounds about right but I fear it will
be 140k to 150k. There needs to be a big gap between this and the MC20 cost wise.

Even so I would have one at the drop of a hat and it’s stunning from every angle.

around 200k hopefully that's wrong it's in this week's autocar

Not a problem as well put of my league but 200k way too much if true
