A beautiful car as Maserati realised that GT cars need to be long to look right.

Noise. That’s why I have gone through a 3200, 4200 and now GranTurismo over 20+ years. Once the noise goes I don’t care what I drive, might even be Korean….

PS these are not really features. Ask most people these days about a car’s features and phone/music connectivity is likely the first thing they will mention.

You know what they say. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Before we create another Kim Il Sung, should we discuss checks and balances?
Before we get put in front of an anti-aircraft gun and made to explode like one very overripe watermelon!

NOISE!
Looks.
Fierce 'mc-shift' hammer in the back Gearchanges at 6k - 7k rpm.
Double downshifting 5th to 3rd for an overtake.
Double downshifting from 4th to 2nd when coming to a stop.
Decent handling for a big ol' GT
Can enjoy all of the above with my family onboard.
It has soul
And how it makes me feel special.

Edit- All the above assumes Sport - Manual is selected, as its the first thing I do when I start the car.

I also found and like that the LED's for the alarm are visible from both sides of the car when armed and easy to see from outside (when checking the car is locked)

It also seems to get a lot of attention from women/girls i noticed.

After 2 x GTSs and 5 years I’ve been wondering what to get next. I had been considering an RS6 - super fast, super practical etc. but my son, car enthusiast, went in one recently and reported back that despite the impressive acceleration, there was no emotion and the ride was terrible. There really is nothing else out there like a Maserati (although I confess I’d love a GT4Lusso, if I could afford one)

Maybe it’s time for a Stradale

The storage space in the 2 seat Stradale. Just did a 3500 road trip to France/Monaco/Italy. We had all our gear including a tent packed in the car. It was the perfect GT in my eyes. Obviously the sound is amazing, especially in all those tunnels ! Also the looks. I still take a glance back every time I walk away from it.
