QP Shooting Brake

[Emtee]

Didn't they make it for the Sultan of Brunei?

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Anyone know if it was just a styling exercise?

There is at least one...if this is to be believed:

Ah, thats where I might have seen it before.... is it going to be added to the QP range... QP, QP S, QP GT-S, QP-E (E as in estate)

I think it was called the cinqueporte.

I think it was called the cinqueporte.

"cinqueporte" meaning what Em?

 

[GransportFan1]

well Cinque in Italian means 5 and porte means door, so it means 5 door.

 

[duncscot]

Ah cheers Em.... I suppose that follows in character

 

[Emtee]

Sorry Dunscot, yes Adam has it. Five Door. I must admit I really like it and, if spec'ed properly, I think it could do very well for Maserati. For me it fits perfectly into the QP lineup, though I know for many (on here) wellies and dogs are not allowed in Massers whether they have 2, 4 or 5 doors, though I believe and exception was made recently for a corpse.

 

[duncscot]

I agree in principal Em, and I take on board what you say about wellies not realy being part of the masser image. However, some of the other big marques have produced limited numbers of "shooting brakes", so I dont think it would do Maserati any harm

I seem to remember he had a Ferrari 456 estate as well.

Yeh adam thats a good lookin car. I prefer the black / red coulor combo tho.
what I like about the gs is the side step , put there I guess to help the old uns get in.

 

[duncscot]

I wonder if Adams piggy bank is building up to a purchase..... sometime in 2040

[duncscot]

Well another 3/4 years and you'll (a) be old enough to insure a Maserati and (b) be able to afford to buy either a 3200 or 4200
