I drove this in Italy on track a few weeks back. Does a very good job especially being a grand tourer and not a pure sport car. This is where people get it wrong. You can’t compare against sport cars that don’t actually fit 4 adults in it. A Roma can’t and won’t fit 4 adults , a db12 won’t and neither will a 911 , so they actually can’t compete against the Granturismo. Speed is only one factor and it’s not slow by all means. It’s comfortable, steers well, feels premium, goes fast enough for the roads and looks a lot more special than some other cars our there in this price range. Should have it gotten a v8? Probably and I know we all would have loved that but the nettuno v6 is very strong and is now a 100% Maserati powered car bringing it back to its roots. This car will do extremely well in the market.
@martinsimek: I'm owning the previous model from 2018 (faceliftmodel with camera and Touchscreen with Apple CarPlay) with the glorious sounding 4.7 V8 from Ferrari. It costed me 127000 Euro including many stuff as standard. This new model here is about 250000 Euro, with options needed and with a small 3.0 V6, that sounds like a VW Polo GTI. What do you think? Which one would I prefer?
Yes people, the list of cars that will out perform this will be extensive, but it won’t be as though this won’t provide satisfaction and immense pleasure every time you approach it! This car is an absolute masterpiece!

One of the most, if not the most, beautifully designed cars (Ferrari should take notes.) Shame the black exterior with black wheels do not show off the gorgeous lines of the car.
Ferrari doesn't need to take any note, as it's always known how to design timeless beautiful cars, thanks to Pininfarina. Now, I can agree that the current line doesn't have that iconic and timeless look as the older models.
@@RAMSRT500 doubt it. It may be a good improvement over the last GranTurismo but it's not a $200k level of awesome. It's also still a Maserati so its reliability probably won't be anything to write home about.
Looks great, but the new C8 ERAY will eat its lunch as a Gran tourer pretty much guaranteed. The vids are on point, and i have to agree with the specialty of the Maserati nameplate.
I had to get a second job just to watch this video... $$$$$$. Jokes aside I know a few very well off people who LOVE this brand... I can see the appeal especially in a review like this. A lot of attention to detail and passion involved. Great review.
Great video!! Just one small notice, on the first 3min I heard the word “agressive” several times, but I think it isnt a very agressive looking car, the previous generation was a bit more and Maserati was clever enough to create an elegant design without all the air intakes, grids, spoilers everywhere, etc. I think it will age pretty well this car.
Thanks, Sam. The outgoing model with the Ferrari F430 V8 engine did sound intoxicating, but you had high service costs. I was looking at purchasing this vehicle back in 2018 (Australia delivery) and was waiting for the interior to be updated to come in line with the German cars. Finally, it's been done with a new stand-alone Maserati engine, even if it's a V6. Can you tell me if an after-market sports exhaust system can be fitted. Thanking you in advance.
One of the best looking GTs ever made. My only complaints is I miss the analog clock and speedo. I also miss that V8 sound, but at least it isn’t electric yet.
This would be cool if they got rid of all the touch screen buttons and gave us hard buttons instead! I've seen screens fail and screens not boot up properly due to software issues and guess what? You loose access to all the controls until you get the screen fixed!
Hate the lack of manual buttons for A/C & audio, say what you want, yes it's cleaner without them, but when I want to adjust something, I don't want to take my eyes of the road if I have to, with a touchscreen I'm virtually forced to to hit the right part of the screen, its SO dumb.
It looks great if you live in a country that doesn't require frontal number signs, But with a frontal number sign this looks absolutely horrendous. (since you have to place it on one side because it doesn't fit in middle)
One of the most beautiful cars on the road today, but sadly the price is way too damn high. An m3 competition could give this car some very close runs maybe even besting this car for half the price.
Of course you can but you can also buy for the same price of the LC 500 a Nissan GTR a BMW, M4 drivr Of course you can but you can also buy for the same price of the LC 500 a Nissan GTR a BMW, M4 X Dr.
A 2022 Nissan GTR went for about 130 740 grand which is exactly what the LC 500 cost in Canada the 2024 model is a lot more expensive because it does have more upgrades. Anne is a lot better a lot better than the LC 500.
@@SamCarLegion the LC500 2024 starts 113k. With preference package it goes for 128k. The convertible starts at 130k. We are talking brand new car here, not used GTRs. Come on Sam...
I wish they'd added the V6 from the 296GTB. It sounds far superior to the very coarse, 3cyl-ish sounding Maserati unit. The car itself is an absolute stunner though!
As an Italian passionate about beautiful cars and design, I can only say: shame on Maserati for hiring a German designer who copied the bodywork of the Fisker Karma produced in 2011 in 2023 to replace a beautiful car like the Maserati Granturismo which already had a better design in 2007 than the Fisker Karma. In Italy there are hundreds of design students, not to mention established designers, who are able to create a more intriguing and current design than the one created by the German designer.
Hi, Sam, this Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo car looks boyfriend nice design interior and exterior I like the exterior a lot I like the most about especially wlook looks great BUT 262 THOUSAND DOLLERS it's a lot everything is great in this car I do not doubt whatsoever this is an outstanding car thanks
There seems to be a misconception when it comes to the weight of the car. The car doesn't weigh 4,500 pounds. It weighs just under 4,100 pounds (4,072 pounds). Still a little chunky for a car like this but the LC 500 and M8 are heavier than this so🤷
I'm not even talking about that but okay. I'm pretty sure that it can 0-60 quicker than 3.5 seconds tho. Idk. I personally think both are great cars so😂🤷
@@zillaho3491 the m8 has a QUICKER claimed 0-60 than the granturismo trofeo. HOWEVER, the granturismo trofeo is the FASTEST one here, having a top speed of 199 mph, compared to the M8's 190. When you use 0-60 mph or 0-100 kmh (0-62mph), you are referring to how QUICK a car is, not how FAST a car is. When you use speed (usually top speed), you are referring to how FAST a car is, not how QUICK a car is. Hope this helps 😁.
The M8 is better in every way. Anyone that has over 100,000 USD to spend on a car has 5,000 to spend in upgrades. A tune with intakes and dp's put at least and extra 150 awd hp and it deletes the top end mile and hour restriction. Therefore, I'm positive the M8 can hit 200mph easy. The Granturismo is at least 2 to 300 hp short for a car that is > 200,000 USD. Another car that comes to mind that is definitelly better is the S63 AMG coupe. Also a grand tourer, AWD and > 600 hp stock.

Man that is one sexy frekkin @$$ automobile! Always loved the designs of these & the MC Stradale version with it's baratone exhaust is simply terrific!👍💯
Sam, your Italian pronunciation is excellent - better than many Italian Canadians. Where did you learn? I'm guessing you're eastern European descent, given their superior linguistic abilities. And your musical choices were beautiful,. Lakeshore never looked as appealing. Bravo
No thanks, seen this and decided to pick up the V8 GT. I don’t like the front end or that V6. The only thing that’s better is the interior and the rear. But the V8 is timeless and that what counts the most.
I wonder the pay check to say this car is worth this much and is somehow better than an M8 competition, it may look better on the outside to some people but the M8 has it beat in every other category luxury, power, usability etc….
Everything looks great. But it lost me with the v6. I'm sorry, they should have put a monster v8 supercharger in it. That would have put Maserati back on the map. I think many would agree.
I honestly think this car is severely overpriced for the performance it offers. I understand that if they made it more powerful then it would be approaching the flagship MC 20. The modena should've started at about 145k with the trofeo starting at maybe 170k. A fully optioned trofeo shouldn't break 200k. I feel like this car will be a slow seller for Maserati because they're better cars in the price range. I actually own a Maserati myself so I'm not hating on the brand or anything but this car is overpriced in my opinion and I feel like they will spend some time sitting on dealership lots
Nah I’ll pass the new Maserati gran turismo is a disappointment especially more expensive for 1200hp electric version folgore😂 the interior is same as grecale suv. I know cause I work at Maserati dealer and seen cars in person. HP wise im I’m happy but design wise is the same. Only thing that change drastically is technology. I rather buy a 2018 masearti and pay to change the display with Apple CarPlay🤷🏽♀️
man i wanna love this car but the truth is aside from losing the v8 the styling is just such a miss compared to the outgoing model, it looks like the retarded cousin of the previous one. the headlights that maserati are doing rn just do not work especially on this car, the mc20 may be stunning but this is a mix that does not work. the side profile is fantastic and the rear end also is gorgeous but the front is just not a good looking face. luckily the interior is genuinely fantastic and im sure it still will be a top tier grand tourer
I think if I was to roll up in Yorkville (ritzy part of Downtown Toronto) I'd get more looks in a GranTurismo Trofeo than an M8. People aint buying it to race a semi-mainstream German sport coupe. This car is a statement, its a status piece, its a Gucci bag in the arms of your blonde supermodel leaving a fancy restaurant. But I digress....
@@jimwallace4164 agree on the POTENTIAL exclusivity. But I'd bet you'd end up seeing more of them than an M8. I drive a '20 M5 competition here in northern Virginia/DC metro area and people have money. I don't see many current generation M cars at all.
Destroyed? The gt trofeo is lighter than the m8 at 4,072 pounds compared to 4,295 to almost 4,560 pounds for the m8. Not only that, it has a higher top speed and bc the engine is front mid mounted as opposed to front mounted, it handles better, due to the better weight distribution and lower weight. Not only that it looks better and is recognized by more ppl and the top speed is higher at 199 mph, and opposed to the 190 mph top speed of the m8. And the driving experience is probably better than that of the m8. You do the math. If I cared a lot about 0-60, I'd choose the m8 and agree with you, but i don't care all that much about the 0-60. I care about everything else. If everything else isn't good, then I ain't buying it. It's like buying a house or an apartment. If it isn't good on the inside, then I'm good. Infact, the performance of the gt trofeo is closer to the Ferrari Roma than anything. Is it overpriced too? Anyways I'm done with my little rant. If you are so confused about what I'm talking about, watch the top gear comparison of the 1st gen R8 V10 and C6 Corvette ZR1. At the end he chooses the R8 over the Corvette, even though on paper it's kills the R8 in terms of performance. Find out why. In short, yes the M8 beats the Granturismo trofeo in terms of power and 0-60, but that's it. I'd say the granturismo is more well-rounded than the M8. More intuitive, easier to live with, better looking, easier to drive, and in real life, faster (it's speed, not 0-60 time), not quicker(its 0-60 time, not speed). All I have to say is: you do the math? This or the M8? Again, you decide. Not my choice to make.
@@nkonghonyoranyangwe2996 I've seen that episode of Top Gear and under why he chose the R8. However, the interior difference between that generation R8 and the C6 Z06 is far more than between this Maserati and the M8. The M8 coupe is the lighter end of that range with the convertible and grand coupe coming in at 4500. But yeah, it would probably take close to a mile for that Maserati to catch up with and overtake the M8. I have a 20 M5 competition and the thing dynos 660 at the wheels, and about 640 ft/lbs at the wheels STOCK . BMW lies about power, and the cars weigh less than advertised. 340hp/ton all day. Looks are subjective, performance is not. The M8 would dog walk that car throughout any performance envelope except 9mph on the Autobahn, which we don't have. In my M5, pretty much no matter what speed, what gear, you're going to double your speed in mere seconds. Please, go drive one and see how that power train moves those cars. It wouldn't even be close. And do you think that Maserati really handles better? The M8 pulls 1.03 and has a high of 1.15 on U drag. Hell, my M5 will most likely out handle that car. It's a grand tourer with a nice engine. But it won't be able to touch an M8, GUARANTEED.
Italy has always been known as having some of the best looking cars on the planet. This one is no exception. What a beautiful design.
The side profile of that car is just plain beautiful. Wow.

95k vs 225k ... but now mercedes has new coupe cle450 or some kind was because c and E coupe maybe were stopped
@@namename1 95k ??
No thanks, seen this and decided to pick up the V8 GT. I don’t like the front end or that V6. The only thing that’s better is the interior and the rear. But the V8 is timeless and that what counts the most.
6 minutes in and we’re still talking about water bottles and hats
I'd rather buy the Lexus LC500 & a condo.
I wonder the pay check to say this car is worth this much and is somehow better than an M8 competition, it may look better on the outside to some people but the M8 has it beat in every other category luxury, power, usability etc….
This man has never played tennis in his life! 😀
I have :)
The prestige isn’t worth the price tag. Performance on other much cheaper cars is worth it.
Pretty sure it's sold out for the next 2 years
This probably is a combined clone of Porsche 911 and Jaguar F-Type
Probably front is total copy of F-Type
Beautiful looking car, but arguably the worst V6 sound in the world. Imagine paying a quarter mil for this. There's just no way.
Everything looks great. But it lost me with the v6. I'm sorry, they should have put a monster v8 supercharger in it. That would have put Maserati back on the map. I think many would agree.
For that money it needed more premium features, glass roof, massage seats
Glass roof on that size of roof not a good idea. Massage seats yes that would be a nice touch
It is sport oriented gt, so from that point isn't really necessary, but I got you
@@SamCarLegion i had glass roof on my f-type r
For that money this car should have 600hp at least
has a weight from 4500 lbs, really ? It´s only a 2 door Coupe with a 6 Cyl. engine.
Every time you say the word Maserati I have to laugh the way you pronounce it 😂😂
It’s the right way to pronounce it :) no bastardized like Americans do.
Sam, enjoy your videos... To me, this car at $200k USD is a joke.
Thank you. The SL63 is 200k usd too. Joke too?
@@SamCarLegion for what I can get from bmw or Audi, yes.
Take a shot every time he says Maserati
I honestly think this car is severely overpriced for the performance it offers. I understand that if they made it more powerful then it would be approaching the flagship MC 20. The modena should've started at about 145k with the trofeo starting at maybe 170k. A fully optioned trofeo shouldn't break 200k.
I feel like this car will be a slow seller for Maserati because they're better cars in the price range. I actually own a Maserati myself so I'm not hating on the brand or anything but this car is overpriced in my opinion and I feel like they will spend some time sitting on dealership lots
I can get an Oldsmobile Trofeo for a lot cheaper lolololol
Underrated comment. LOL well played!
@@jimwallace4164 😉
I like this what time would be delivery date my address
Nah I’ll pass the new Maserati gran turismo is a disappointment especially more expensive for 1200hp electric version folgore😂 the interior is same as grecale suv. I know cause I work at Maserati dealer and seen cars in person. HP wise im I’m happy but design wise is the same. Only thing that change drastically is technology. I rather buy a 2018 masearti and pay to change the display with Apple CarPlay🤷🏽♀️
Lol, I thought this was at max $150k
Top assoluto
200k for a Maserati
It is Ferrari Roma money for something that is inferior in like every way
I dont understand why its called sport car high price but no power i raced one with a 300c srt8 😂😂😂
Forza Italiaaaa
Not a coupe but the e63 will smoke this thing for 100k less
Air ride will break 😅😅😅
2 minutes of nothing happening before praise
man i wanna love this car but the truth is aside from losing the v8 the styling is just such a miss compared to the outgoing model, it looks like the retarded cousin of the previous one. the headlights that maserati are doing rn just do not work especially on this car, the mc20 may be stunning but this is a mix that does not work. the side profile is fantastic and the rear end also is gorgeous but the front is just not a good looking face. luckily the interior is genuinely fantastic and im sure it still will be a top tier grand tourer
A brand I recommend to my enemy.
not impressed 🙅🏾♂️, ijs
I rebuke that v6 in the name of Jesus
Beauty❤
Not a boyfriend that's beautiful
200k 😂😂😂
Over priced garbage compared to competitors, especially that of Mercedes and Lexus.
$200k just to get abused and ultimately destroyed by a BMW M8. I mean destroyed.
I think if I was to roll up in Yorkville (ritzy part of Downtown Toronto) I'd get more looks in a GranTurismo Trofeo than an M8. People aint buying it to race a semi-mainstream German sport coupe. This car is a statement, its a status piece, its a Gucci bag in the arms of your blonde supermodel leaving a fancy restaurant. But I digress....
Nailed Jim
@@jimwallace4164 agree on the POTENTIAL exclusivity. But I'd bet you'd end up seeing more of them than an M8. I drive a '20 M5 competition here in northern Virginia/DC metro area and people have money. I don't see many current generation M cars at all.
Destroyed? The gt trofeo is lighter than the m8 at 4,072 pounds compared to 4,295 to almost 4,560 pounds for the m8. Not only that, it has a higher top speed and bc the engine is front mid mounted as opposed to front mounted, it handles better, due to the better weight distribution and lower weight. Not only that it looks better and is recognized by more ppl and the top speed is higher at 199 mph, and opposed to the 190 mph top speed of the m8. And the driving experience is probably better than that of the m8. You do the math. If I cared a lot about 0-60, I'd choose the m8 and agree with you, but i don't care all that much about the 0-60. I care about everything else. If everything else isn't good, then I ain't buying it. It's like buying a house or an apartment. If it isn't good on the inside, then I'm good. Infact, the performance of the gt trofeo is closer to the Ferrari Roma than anything. Is it overpriced too? Anyways I'm done with my little rant. If you are so confused about what I'm talking about, watch the top gear comparison of the 1st gen R8 V10 and C6 Corvette ZR1. At the end he chooses the R8 over the Corvette, even though on paper it's kills the R8 in terms of performance. Find out why. In short, yes the M8 beats the Granturismo trofeo in terms of power and 0-60, but that's it. I'd say the granturismo is more well-rounded than the M8. More intuitive, easier to live with, better looking, easier to drive, and in real life, faster (it's speed, not 0-60 time), not quicker(its 0-60 time, not speed). All I have to say is: you do the math? This or the M8? Again, you decide. Not my choice to make.
@@nkonghonyoranyangwe2996 I've seen that episode of Top Gear and under why he chose the R8. However, the interior difference between that generation R8 and the C6 Z06 is far more than between this Maserati and the M8. The M8 coupe is the lighter end of that range with the convertible and grand coupe coming in at 4500. But yeah, it would probably take close to a mile for that Maserati to catch up with and overtake the M8. I have a 20 M5 competition and the thing dynos 660 at the wheels, and about 640 ft/lbs at the wheels STOCK . BMW lies about power, and the cars weigh less than advertised. 340hp/ton all day. Looks are subjective, performance is not. The M8 would dog walk that car throughout any performance envelope except 9mph on the Autobahn, which we don't have. In my M5, pretty much no matter what speed, what gear, you're going to double your speed in mere seconds. Please, go drive one and see how that power train moves those cars. It wouldn't even be close. And do you think that Maserati really handles better? The M8 pulls 1.03 and has a high of 1.15 on U drag. Hell, my M5 will most likely out handle that car. It's a grand tourer with a nice engine. But it won't be able to touch an M8, GUARANTEED.
