I've got one. They are great cars. That being said, drive some more cars. The steering is not communicative, and i find it 'flighty' at speed. It is a great car for 60+ driving. Also, Ferrari gave up control by the time this video was made. I do believe these are great cars and should be worth double or more than the prices they command now. I've lost half of what i spent on it and I'm still happy with it. Dive on dude, hope you do enjoy!
Great Video man keep it up, I love how you talk about the lost design of the GT car, you pay a good tribute to a forgotten car that once defined Maserati. Best of luck to your channel.
I’m a decent writer, but I’m far less articulate than you in organizing my thoughts and actually voicing them. You put my exact opinions and feelings to words in this video - my experience with my Quattroporte has been just as phenomenal. As a car enthusiast, it’s almost a religious experience driving these direct, powerful, and beautiful machines, and I wouldn’t trade all the cars in the world for these late 90s and 2000s Maseratis. They may have their fair share of quirks - my concerns were never ending in the Quattroporte, but the pure driving experience cannot be matched. And driving for hours on winding, curving, undulating roads is precisely what these machines are designed for. The weekend and day trips I took to the coast and the mountains throughout this past summer were made all the better for driving there in my Quattroporte. I’m absolutely convinced that I need a 4200 at some point, whether in manual or F1/DuoSelect form. I couldn’t care less, I just know I need one! Excellent video!
I appreciate the kind words, friend! I haven't had the chance to drive a Quattroporte yet, but I can imagine it's equally as enjoyable as the Cambiocorsa was. You gotta love a car with personality, which those older Masi's have in spades. Mountains and coast within a day trip? I'm jealous! What area are you in?
Anytime! I’m in the Northeast region of the US. Driving up to Vermont and Maine, or heading down to the Cape and beaches throughout Mass and New Hampshire is just an otherworldly experience in the Quattroporte. It is definitely a different feeling vehicle than the GT cars and roadsters, but is no less fun, by any means.
Excellent video - Subscribed. The Maserati 4200gt is one of my favourites. That was a great review. Never seen your channel before but I'll look out for more videos. Top stuff. Luv and Peace.
Nicely done pal! Beautiful car. Can you get your hands on a Maserati Bora or the Merak or both for review? I was in high school and read reviews on both models in Road & Track back in the day.
Wow, I hadn't heard of either of these cars but they're gorgeous! I'll do my best hunt down some owners who are game to let me show them off. May take some time, but I'll find 'em!
Some of Maserati’s finest. They’re getting rather difficult to come by nowadays, and most have been scooped up into private collections, or are kept under lock and key in various garages, rarely seeing the light of day unless they’re being ferried to various shows and venues. I too would love to see you do a review on those, perhaps a Khamsin, and some of the older Quattroporte and Ghibli models as well, but it will be immensely difficult to get your hands on them.
My 2002 4200 CC is for sale with only 30,300 miles. The clutch and F1 pump were replaced at 20 K miles. I just had spark plugs replaced and has an X pipe and high performance air filter and wheel spacers. The car is in excellent condition inside and out and runs and sounds awesome!
The F136 was a wide family of engines. No variants used in the Maseratis were the same as the Ferraris. Maserati got the F136 R, S, U and Y variants, all cross plane crank. They were not the same as the ones used in any Ferrari model including the F430, California, or 458. Those were the E, I and F models respectively. They were flat plane cranks, with longer duration exhaust camshafts, dual instead of single cam phasing, higher revving, dual instead of single throttle bodies, dual bank short runner manifolds, tuning, and more. The Maserati engines were made for more low-end torque in much heavier vehicles, while the Ferrari engines power band better fit the lighter cars, while having about 60 to 90hp more than each equivalent Maserati engine. The Ferrari flat planes also were better suited to the mid-engine platform they used, do to natural vibration and harmonics.
NOT the same Engine as the Ferrari 430 etc. It is a derivative using the same Block but a Cross Plane Crank. It was co-developed by Maserati and Ferrari before fitting into the F430, which is a flat plane crank engine of 4.3 cc displacement instead of the 4.2 of the Maser. The maser engine has totally different characteristics to that of the Ferrari engine. Both, however are great Cars, with equally great engines. Also Horsepower doesn't give you acceleration, Torque does, HP give you top speed.
That’s a shame the owner is selling - good for the market, but unfortunate for them. Whereabouts is the vehicle located? Italian vehicles have never faired well in colder regions where road treatments and salts are common, but I imagine it were largely driven summers and whatnot.
Really nice sounding music and mixing-editing too... Watched this video several times for the car itself firstable and for the quality of the shooting and sound. I'm italian and proud of cars like this, glad you appreciate a controversial but wonderful car as it is.

Beautiful car 🚘
this man should be on top gear
Thank you!! I might frame this comment and hang it on my wall lol
Such a heartwarming review of my maserati coupe. An affordable Ferrari grand tourer a mechanic like myself can own
Right?? The price these things are going for is well worth it for that engine alone
Checkpoint until it breaks and it becomes the worlds most beautiful lawn ornament

I hope to own one in coming months.
Nice! I wish I could’ve snatched this one
Thank You, Ferrari!
Right? That engine is nuts

Yes 👍
