Asked to post an unusual Maserati on a local Italian FB group, most on here will have seen these Ghibli Primatist photos from 2005 but you can never get too much.
On 4 November 1996 on the Lake Lugano, Guid0 Cappellini broke the flying kilometre's World Speed Record on water in the 5-litre class, piloting a composite-hulled speedboat powered by the biturbo V6 from the Ghibli Cup and belonging to Bruno Abbate's Primatist/Special Team. The boat ran the kilometre at an average speed of 216.703 km/h (134.653 mph). To celebrate the world record Maserati made 60 special edition Ghiblis called the Ghibli Primatist, featuring special Ultramarine blue paintwork and an interior trimmed in two-tone blue/turquoise leather and polished burr walnut trim.

Spotted over Hammersmith last week....
My nan used to tell me stories of V1 rockets flying overhead and everyone wondering just where they would actually land, she said the noise they made was incredible but the silence when the engine cut out was quite sinister.
