Top Gear Like it - New GranTurismo

It’s bigger!

In that case they have done an amazing job of making it look smaller.

It’s still, ever so slightly, shorter than a Strad.

Boot looks deeper in person too, apparently something to do with moving the fuel tank

Is the Strad 40 mm longer than a standard GT?

It is, although I doubt anyone is concerned about a couple of inches.

I have always said that.

Not even the sheep?

Trust me, being tall is overrated

Sound definitely improves with a CAT-back exhaust. (still no competition for the old V8 though)

The GranTurismo Folgore

I’d be amazed at anyone buying one. On the other hand here’s a Trofeo at a more sensible price, still too much for me, but not £215k like the ones last week:

I bet that if I turned up to work in a new GranTurismo in the same colour as mine, no one would tell that it's a new one.

Perhaps it is the colour, or the wheels, or the softer front end, or the sea of screen inside - but it just looks a bit dull to me.

I think that particular spec is dull and doesn't lend itself to the car. Needs either bright paint or brighter interior.

Nothing wrong in it, except the price which makes really no sense

I agree - it is too much. It is very close to the price of used Roma or Portofino—both benefit from the V8 and the badge and, most importantly, reasonable depreciation.

Few new car prices represent any sort of value nowadays. I think they’ll still sell enough for them to trickle on to the used market and when they’re £120k or so at a year or eighteen months old they’ll look decent value. I do think this will be to only a certain percentage of us, as V6 instead of V8 is a huge factor for many of us.

The special colours have very special prices.
Blu MC Victory, for example, is more than half the cost of the actual GranSport MC Victory @dickygrace has for sale

 

[Nayf]

I guess they know the market. The number of old GranTurismos ordered in black/grey/white outnumbered interesting colours by 5 to 1.

 

[CatmanV2]

And I thought my Grigio Palladio was pricey!
