Why on Earth would anyone buy and electric car when for £30k you can have a sound like that!! That sound is worth the money all on it’s own, it’s orgasmic 😃
I own (2) a GranCabrio as well as a GranTurismo, both 2011s and both with the 4.7L V8. I've taken my coupé on a 400 mile round trip at 80 mph cruise and got 22.3 mpg... I'm sure if you are driving it really hard, it'll drop into the teens, but the fuel consumption is not as bad as many comments suggest IMHO that is. Also, stop assuming the running costs are going to eat you alive! I hear this all the time from people who have never owned a Maserati... these are my 3rd and 4th and I'm still alive. I needed a new battery installed by AAA for the Cabrio and it cost me all of $230.00 while the service was done in my own home's garage! I also point out, Ferraris and Maseratis are known for winning races, many many races in fact. You don't win races without finishing them. So reliability is actually better than expected. Don't assume they are going to explode when you turn the key. Service them and take care of them and they'll likely serve you well. I think these cars are completely under rated, they sound great, look great, have very nice performance for a GT, plus you can actually put a 6' person in the back seats! Also, likely the last Pininfarina styled 2+2 with a NA Ferrari built V8 you will ever see. What a steal!
I have 2011 GranTurismo Auto 21000 miles and 2005 Quattroporte manual 60,000 miles on the original clutch. They are both more reliable that All the BMW M cars and Mercedes’ cars I owned previously . They very underrated by many uniformed people
@@rafibalouzian9951that's a good thing , that they are under rated , till I get one I want these to be more affordable 😜
Main problem is the fuel consumption. Like a DB9 about 10mpg around town. Compared to its main rivals it's typically cheaper to maintain. If thinking of buying one, get a PPI, but first thing is to make sure the subframe is sound, as you can't buy a new replacement. And older cars can suffer variator problems, so you need to check the engine number. At some point the factory fixed the problem, but the engines weren't installed in sequence, so rather than year, you must check the engine number. If it hasn't got the factory upgraded engine, and it hasn't been repaired, it costs 3-4k to fix. But not all cars develop a problem, but a significant minority do. Other than that, like all similar cars, they are hard on suspension components. The closest experience for the risk averse is the Jaguar XK 5.0 naturally-aspirated...a little down on power but almost 300kgs lighter, and therefore more sports car than GT. Don't sound quite as good, don't have the brand cachet, but cheaper to buy, insure, maintain and fuel. However, for what it is, Ferrari V8 with cross-plane crank, it's cheaper than a DB9 in just about every way, yet similar performance, and in many ways better built. Also sounds at least as good. The other rival from back in the day is the Bentley Continental GT. Cheaper to buy. Much faster. AWD. But heavier, just as thirsty, and can be the most expensive to maintain. Some small jobs on the W12 are engine out, you apparently can't get head gaskets, and some cars have been unrepairable due to electrical/electronic gremlins. IMO, compared to its main rivals, the Maserati is typically a better proposition. IMO, its cabin has aged best. It's also the roomiest, not least being able to fit actual adult male persons in the back seats, so it's the most practical, too. Boot is not very big, but not too bad, either, unless you opt for the GranCabrio. Oh, yeah, don't forget, its engine is placed behind the front axle, so out of all the aforementioned cars, it's the only one with a mid-engine.
thanks for the info 👍
I use one as a daily driver (the early 4.2) and get around 19mpg with commuting and social. Early on I had a 40ltr LPG Tank put in the boot and get a similar consumption on LPG but at £0.58/ltr. It eats rear tyres and although servicing itself isn't too expensive, if it needs parts it can rack up the £s quickly. Whenever it's in the shop I convince myself it's too expensive to keep and decide to sell it.... Then as soon as I get in back and drive it for 2 mins.... It's staying!
Thanks for those snippets of info... I recently bought a 4.7 Quattroporte for a steal with only 29k on the clock. I'm presuming the running gears identical to the grismo, and am only frieghtened of the VVt variator... Its not rattling on start up, but could you tell me if by 2010 Maserati had solved the issue?. Best bang for buck, being a value investor, many guys I know spend 50k on an engine build for their fibreglass hotrods... bought it for $37k New Zealand $, so basically the price of a new Toyota or long block with high stall torque convertor... lol
@@peterlattimore6013 Unfortunately, you cannot go by year, despite a common belief that it was resolved at the factory for the 2010 model year. To be pretty sure by year, it would need to be a MY 2012, ie, a late 2011 car.
It was at least partially resolved at the factory as early as 2009, but the engines were not installed consecutively, so a 2009 car could have a factory fix and a later car not.
Consequently, you need to check the engine number. Cars with engine number =157854, as from this engine# the variator part# changed. That said; according to the relevant service bulletin, engine numbers 148697 onward are already equipped with the new anti-back flow oil valves, and engine numbers 150070 onward are aditionally equipped with the new timing variators.
If not fixed, I believe you'd need to set aside NZD10K for the potential repair, and if the worst came to pass you'd need to make sure the repairer orders the ugraded parts, not the same parts that fail, which has happened.
As best as I can determine, the variator issue ends up affecting about 1 in 3 QP Vs/GTs.
I have a 2018 GT and get around 13 strictly in town..I always drive in sport mode/manual and have a heavy foot. On straight highway driving in California, I have gotten almost 28 miles to the gallon. Absolutely love the car, and the sound is second to none. I guess my only complaint is that Pzero tires especially the rear only get 8-9K miles.
I have a 2012 Granturismo MC, got it for $55k @20,000 miles. Everyone thinks I dropped over $100,000 on it and they're stunned when I tell them otherwise, looks like it rolled off the lot yesterday brand new. Extremely reliable too, check the forums, a lot of people daily drive them and don't have problems at all, not kidding. Sounds incredible all day everyday, gets around 13-17 mpg city, which is my fault as I blast it out of every green light so everyone in the intersection stares at me, it's great
US version get an excellent 6 =speed transmission from ZF, at the time this was considered one of the best 6 speeds on the market. I think one year the MC trim got the 6 speed automated manual transmission, I think it was 2011, but it's terrible and will need to be rebuilt +40k miles and up. This is why they took it out of the Quattroporte as well. Europe got the 6 speed automated manuals on their S trims and all of their MCs, which sucks. These crappier transmissions have the MC-Shift (which this car has and the owner refers to at 6:43 ). But if you can get the normal, 6 speed automatic, you should go for it as they're bulletproof (kinda)
Beautiful car. Unappreciated, under rated and unloved but awesome and easy to own. Best used exotic hands down.
A friend has exactly the same car (same colour, same spec). He also has a 430. The GT is his daily driver for the school-run. Talk about winning at life. I can’t think of a stock car that sounds better for the money TBH…
I love Massers, rather have one than a Ferrari, they're a bit "Footballer", a Masser has more class...
(Not that I'll get the chance to own either)
Nice review, lovely car Bradley!
We need more childish pointless reviews!
The Maserati in this video sounds better than most modern sports/Super cars and looks a Million dollars.
£30k. Grab one while you can!
Yep 👍
I’d love to see one of these beautiful cars in the Petrol Ped Garage.
I have one of these cars, and it's awesome, and I've never had a single problem. And I don't think anything will go wrong. The way you drive there's the possibility that could happen.
I’ve had my 2011 4.7 F1 for 3 years now, done 33000 miles in it, now on 81000. I drive it nearly every day, and I love it.
Re gear changes, if you want comfy don’t use sport, don’t bother lifting, car does it well enough. But if you want quick changes, and I mean quick, foot flat to the floor and change up, it’s lightning fast, and quite astonishing. Someone in the comments mentioned this gearbox needs a rebuild every 40k miles, but that not true, the stuff that does all the gear changes does break, but it’s way way more fun than the Zf auto. I did drive one but I hated it!
When I first got it I was getting 13mpg on normal roads, that has settled at 18mpg now, never really gets much better than that, mainly because it sounds so great accelerating, it’s really addictive too. Not the cheapest thing to keep on the road, but what is at this level? It likes tyres, and fuel, and it’s on its 4th clutch since new, and stuff does go wrong. Overall it’s cost me about 50p per mile to maintain/repair/insure/etc, and the same in fuel, basically £1 per mile.
So if you’re dailying it, it’s not cheap, if you don’t drive it it’s a bargain, but what’s the point in that?! Oh, and I only paid £24,500 for it 😬 The only car I’d replace it with would be a newer lower mileage 4 seat stradale, but my plan is to keep it for as long as I can, I really do love it, highly recommended 👌
30k. About the same as a top end new family hatch. I'm sure must viewers would choose this. The sound alone makes the decision.
Thats one of the few cars Id walk across a carpark to have a look at. Fabulous.
It is better then a Ferrari!
never mind servicing costs, imaging the fuel bill! but it DOES sound amazing!!
If you want to be impressed by a fuel bill try my 1986 Maserati QP III... my last fill up averaged 6 mpg! *Amateurs* :-) EPA on the sticker was 7 city/10 hwy! Combined was 8 mpg lol
Fuel bill is the same as any car worth a crap, regardless of cylinders or forced induction. If you like cool cars, you're gonna have to get over the fuel thing man
"Sounds like a bag of spanners" Love it! Best sounding bag of spanners I've ever heard. Great vid, thanks mate.
It's more a Ferrari based engine than an actual Ferrari one.
It's effectively an F430 derived block fitted with a regular cross plane crank (hence why it sounds so good, better than any Ferrari version) and Maserati heads, cams and manifolds.
Has it got the same dodgy manifolds?
@@rupertevans6847 thank Christ no
At the end of the day the engine was built by Ferrari technicians, I’d call that a Ferrari engine.
Money Pit new shocks 10,000 new roters 7,000 oil change 500 timing chain service 10,000 LOL
Fantastic cars look better with zenga suit on would complement the sheer class that these vehicles are
@kirankilgannon8987 Who are you mate?
I have the earlier 4200 cambriaCorsa. You are so right about t feathering the throttle for gear changes, makes all the difference. 4200 revs to 8k in sport mode. True it is a GT rather than an out and out sports but it is awesome on the Swiss/Italian mountain passes.
Costs, who cares. It is a baby Ferrari and they cost. Fuel consumption. If you want a Maserati, the last thing on your mind is fuel cost. Value for money is a better measurement. Bad day...drive Masser...problem solved.
I drive mine most days. They run much better when you do that. Fuel is better than my Cayenne turbo or Bentley Brooklands turbo. On the mini side, just paid nearly £40k on a new JCW all4. More than twice the price of the Masser so I reckon I have over £20k for maintenance before I even worry about the Maserati😁
I like your thinking 👍
I have one and it's bad ass and I love it I feel guilty because I got a Ferrari for chicken sheeet money
Didn't see this one coming but thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Cheers Ped, Bradders and H & H Classics. Awesome!
I loved my Granturismo. Enjoyed 9 glorious years with her. Took her across Europe several times and she made everyone smile.
The face of a car lover while driving a ferrari derived v8 🤣🤣, im exactly the same with the faces when I'm driving a car that sounds epic.
Top sound.....💪😁...Alfa Romeo Lancia and Ferrari..🇮🇹
IMO, these are better with the standard ZF 6sp auto!
I have always like the styling of Maserati’s, and with that V8 soundtrack it”s a real temptation. Nice piece Ped, some great comments form very knowledgable owners. That is the best bit about this channel, you get some really interesting insights into the cars you are driving from other owners. Bit late watching this one 😁
I love mine
Evening all. Grand theft auto. Love a v8.
Thats an amazing sound and £30k thats well worth it, great snafful Pete
Mate, had a crap few days. Oh a V8 POWERRRR video :). I think we all would have had the same reaction, windows down and a big grin! That's what petrol cars do to us. Thanks for cheering me up!
You’re welcome 👍
OMG! What a car and that noise is just pure heaven. Wicked video, really enjoyed this one Peter.
Thanks. Filmed it ages ago and didn’t think people would like it 😂
@@PetrolPed it definitely hit the mark Peter, was great that you tried something different, off the cuff! 😉👍🏻
Super fun video...those Maserati's sound really awesome 🤩...smily on my face too 👌😁
Nice bit of kit. It’d have to be in a nice bright red for me though.
Hope you gave Brad some shekels after you emptied his fuel tank for him….! 🤣🤣
I own a 2009 gran turismo 4.2 L 405 hp (not an “S” model and not a dual clutch tranny). 10 mpg is not accurate for my model. I get 16-17 in town and 26 on the hwy. I have owned it for 4 years now and have put over 30,000 miles on it (61k) miles so far. It’s been very reliable thus far. I’ve only put brakes and tires on it so far. Purchase all 4 brake pads from Formula Dynamics for $270 total. Brembo brakes are really easy to work on. I still fully enjoy driving my car..... it’s the best GT on the road (especially for the money)!! I have no plans to sell at this point.....love it!!
Maserati has the best sound in my opinion. There is a 'Larini' model with more HP. Don't forget the Quattroporte, same great sound but with more room and less money....Enjoyed the ride along...
I just got a 2007 Sport GT QP (with the ZF automatic) with the 4.2L for 20k cnd. Only 40,000miles on it.
Keep the revs above 5,500 and 80%+ throttle (just keep it on the floor!) and the shifts get wildly fast.....that's when the MCShift kicks in
What a wonderful sound. Maybe you should release a cd on the best sounding cars.
Made me love my mustang all over again. V8 for the win
Incredible sounding bag of spanners.Loved it, thanks Badley and Ped.
30k for that sound track, yes please! Don't think it would suit me as a daily though!
Yes now ped. Much prefer this kind of stuff than a new zoe.
Afternoon PP
Maserati GT S are one of those cars u ignore the comments and buy with the heart.
The noise n looks just sell it for I
Very true 👍
Sounds fantastic .... One of your best ones PP !!
Now there is a car that would be too easy to lose your licence in but it would be a lot of fun.
Great day, good to see the review 👍
i will never understand why with such gorgeous stitched red, blue, tan, interiors most come with black. they make a dark red that's absolutely stunning with a silver exterior. about 30 grand here in the states with low mileage.
Just got my 2018 sport and I keep my windows down driving in Florida, sound is putting a smile on my face
if you buy this car it's for its sOOOOOOOund and elegance, as i did, nothin' more 😜😜😜😜😜
No regrets !
Hi Ped
Love the looks of this car.🥰🥰 The soundtrack to die for, BUT the very thought of servicing costs and potential repair costs would give me sleepless nights.😥
It's the repair /maintenance where the cost can sucker punch you.
At this sort of price point to purchase you could quite easily keep back say another £10k for maintenance over a 4 year period and still be cheaper than a well spec’d new Mini
I spend £1 per mile on fuel and maintenance etc, 1000 miles a month, but well worth it, and I only paid £24500 3 years ago for mine 😀
At last a Maserati. :) MASERATI .....Much maligned........... after that Sound track...common mate..!!!
Hmm…well spotted…a bargain to buy but very bad news when it goes wrong! I did ponder one a while ago but servicing and repairs could make you rather upset! Stay with the Mini but I can understand why the owner bought it…wonderful most of the time but sell it quick before something goes bang! Good work! Richard😃😃😃😃
Hello. and congratulations on this channel. if you have a Peugeot rcz at hand, please leave your opinions, we do not find anything relevant about it. coming with the same engine as the mini cooper, it gives me the impression that it is capable of something. thank you
Nice to see Jim Carrey branching out
😂😂👌
Sounds great. Exterior is lovely. But I bet it's not cheap if something _"goes wrong"!_
EDIT - And that _£&%$ing bleeping_ when it's in reverse!! A pair of wire cutters would put an end to that racket!! 8-))...
Great 😂
I see them as a modern fiat dino coupe or an Alfa busso gtv6. Both of those cars were criticised in their day but loved now
Can'r believe I missed this at the time. Where is that road? It's awesome! Car too!
I have driven the car too and it sounds perfect!
I love the video on the Mass
👍
I smiled all the way thru that. Great soundtrack! I wouldn’t want to pay for the fuel you just used! Lol
A tad thirsty 😬😂
Puts my old C63 to shame and that sounded nice !
Good god I want one
Evening all 👋
love the car guys, the soundtrack is great!!! mmmm thinking about one!
👍
I have a Bentley Continental, one of these 4.7 MC shifts and a R85.2 V10 Plus. What a great time to be owning massive engine petrol head cars. Good idea for your new videos ?
It sure is!
Actually, gran turismo sounds BETTER than 458
isn't this the 4.2 given the fog lights? i thought every 4.7 didn't have fog lights (facelifted). Could be wrong!
btw have a 2013 GTS in Grigio Alfieri (sexy gray color). thanks for the great video - I can tell you really enjoyed!
I love the Grand Turismo!
Like the Jaguars, the Bentleys and Porsche Cayennes, cheap to buy, expensive to run. Selling into an imaginary client who, can afford to run a supercar, but not to buy it.
Great description 👍
Wheeler Dealers had an older Maserati 3200GT year's ago.
You love that V8 don't you. Nothing like it mate. The V8 has got it going.
Wow! THAT noise is epic. I'd love to know the running costs of one of these😳
Amazing! Thanks Pete!
It sounds epic but to right wouldn’t like the bill if it go’s wrong 👏😎
Came back again after your comment about my comment, for another ride along. Wow! It sounds good. In my 20's and 30's I had big block V8'S IN 66 & 67 Corvettes. Thanks again PED
Cheers 👍
Definitely a handsome looking car and one of the best sounding. That repair bill would be super scary
Awesome. Next video, I am swapping Charlie Clubman and the rally flaps for an Italian stallion, don't tel Mrs PP!
😂😂😂
Awesome sounding car! Looks like Davidstow in Cornwall!
Yep 👍
@@PetrolPed not too far from my House!
Been my dream car for around a decade - love them. In white as well.
Love the Wheels! What a nice motor!
Thanks for reviewing this amazing vehicle 🇮🇹👌🏻
need to let the revs build and shift without releasing the throttle
Wow!!! Talk about a poor man's Ferrari
Beeeeuatiful. It’s like ear porn!
Covert? What's covert about that epic noise???
Wowzer 🤩. 10 minutes in are they the “nearly there” trees ? Anyone who goes to Cornwall will know the ones we mean. Although they are in Devon 😃
I’m thinking it’s Davidstow, near the Cheese factory?
Oh what fun 🤩 and the sound !! 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦
Don't think id be as calm if someone simply took my car without my knowledge 🤔
He got permission, just getting good publicity!
You need to take this through a tunnel and by sheet coincidence shift gears a lot whilst passing through.
Great idea 😜
The days when a standard car sounded like this from factory prior to OPF , PPF etc !!
Exactly 😢
Great cars. Amazing value. That or a new electric MG? Er....
🤔😂
Nothing like the sound of a high revving V8
look, i've found your car !
Is the way to go with these cars, to just keep em for a short period , then sell it .
And hope they don’t go wrong while you’ve got it 😂
Brilliant and tempting at that price point!
Until it goes wrong
@@paulduffy697 well at least for one lap...
Well that looked like fun... :) It's all about the noise... And why not! BTW, What time do you call this to drop a video? :)
It’s called shitty Moroccan Internet. Set it to upload overnight last night. Had a power cut and woke to find only 1% uploaded 😳 Had to wait till we got to tonight’s hotel to try again 😢
@@PetrolPed The joys of foreign travel and being in North Africa. Goes to show how good our infrastructure is here in the UK. As a comms man you should know all about that. It really doesn't matter, I'm sure all your followers were more worried than annoyed. You take care fella.
Is that delabole airfield?
If this was on the TV programme, 'Marry, Snog, Avoid' this would be avoid for the thousand reasons listed in other comments here.
I love the idea of these Maseratis but I think I'd have sleepless nights worrying about the running and repair costs.
Me too 😬
Just work on it yourself and its fine, car forced me to learn how to wrench and it’s just fine
The sound of this beast is just amazing and I can imagine very addictive , I’ve found myself looking at one of these in black over the past few months , atm my weekend toy is a 2008 immaculate V10 M5 which also has a very addictive sound and is fun to drive , this has got me thinking… i would like to have both but unfortunately not possible , thanks for the vid what a car. 🇬🇧😎
PS: why would anyone purchase an electric car when 30k buys this magnificent machine which can be used as a weekend toy and a little 1 litre fiesta used as a commuter , crazy.
