Always was supposed to be A GT. Always will be. And still, the greatest sounding, naturally aspirated V8 ever produced.
can’t compare to LFA though
@@keithjay4944 a what? Lol
@@targaflorio3239 ever heard of LFA exhaust ? orgasm like F1
@@keithjay4944 Doesn’t sound better that the Masi GT. I’ve had both😂
I drive a 2008 Maserati GT.... it shares engine design and production from Ferrari. When Audi bought both Maserati and Ferrari, Ferrari had a better engine production factory. Common engines for both cars were made there for some time. The only difference between Maserati and Ferrari at that time was crankshaft. Maserati used cross plane while Ferrari used flat plane. The engine sound was enough to make me buy a Maserati.
I own this car in the new 2018 version with the new electronics, navigation and stereo system. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, very rare and absolutely the best sounding car on the road. I do love the fact that I can comfortably seat 4 adults as well. I personally believe it’s one of the best GT cars out there, and if you purchase one with some miles on it you can get a great deal and enjoy that Ferrari engine for a fraction of the original price.
That sound 👌
The perfect car for me at 80% Luxury and 20% Sports! Beautiful timeless body design!
Great review ...just bought one ( 2014 GT sport 4.7 14 k miles Auto ) and at 61 years old and a trail of owning 911s behind me , I bloody love this car.
The mistake every review has been making is to compare this GT car with super sport cars. It's not a sports car either. It's a GT car. A Maserati GT car. Please stop comparing with super cars and just evaluate for what it actually is. Great work on this review. First good review of this car I have seen.
Yep! It was really brought home for me today when I drove my friend's 2010 GranTurismo S and let him drive my Ferrari 360. They're just such completely different cars, despite having so many apparent similarities.
Most beautiful car
I had one of these for a couple of years, in the same colour combo, and everything Ed has said is spot on. It looks and sounds amazing. It is very big and very heavy so is never going to be the fastest car on the road. But the journey has such a sense of occasion and I have never received so many positive acknowledgements when driving a car as in this. It is not a race car - it's a grand tourer as the name suggests, seating 4x6fts in absolute comfort. It is very expensive to fuel and run but comparatively great value to buy once 18mths + old. Absolutely spot on review...
I like the maserati tbh. Good looking great sound. Great vid ed
sean 27 so do I. I just wish they made those interior changes sooner. The new one is epic. Shame it’s going out of production soon
Someone drove me around the 405 bhp 2009 version of the GT and it was quite fast. Not 911 GT3 fast but hell, certainly very quick. This is a GT car and as a GT it absolutely rules. It looks bloody fabulous as well, much better than all the junk Panameras and Rapides. And yes the gadgets look old (in the older models) but the rest of the interior is great, the seats are great, high quality etc. So yeah.... nice video though
Loved this review, straight to the point and humerus too, new subscriber
Thank you Ed, great review!
Loool just the moment im watching you on this video talking about the amazing sound guess what car wroooms past while I sit in a car waiting for a friend to arrive. A damn MC Stradale version. Dream.
Very fair review. I've really enjoyed it.
Thanks for this video, considering one tomorrow
Wonderful review! Thank you!
This was on my front page to see this Maserati lol. Nice vid bro
Great video, looking forward to the F430.
I drive a Maserati GT and love this luxury Italian sports car.
It has back seats and a trunk. It has an engine tone unlike any other on the planet. It accelerates, brakes, and corners with more aggression than most drivers are willing to push. Driver will want to slow down long before car says 'hang on for even more'. When I did a test drive, the engine sound alone sold me on Maserati. I could have bought a Ferrari, but decided Maserati was more 'stealth' and would not attract attention of police. Unlike other GT's this one doesn't stand for 'give ticket'.
Previous owner upgraded wheels to 21 inch and wide and low profile Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Upgraded brakes, suspension, and exhaust as well. It was also lowered and looks even more menacing than stock. It handles as good as it sounds and looks. Mission accomplished.
Great video man! earned yourself a new subscriber
It was never meant to be a super car but a beautiful and capable GT.
Besides the aventador, it’s the best sounding car I’ve ever heard.
It’ll be a classic in the future.
I bought a used 2009 Maserati GTS Automatic at Oregon Ferrari dealer. Great car for trips to the coast or to take some friends to a sporting event with a useable trunk/Boot. If someone wants one I recommend a certified used as they depreciate very fast. My 8th year/30,000 mile service was $2800 which was all fluids, all filters and belt replacement.
Have you had any problems with reliability?
KeezusSole no maintenance issues so far, in 2 years I’ve only put about 7500 miles on it, I put paint protection on hood, front and in front of rear wheels as I think paint might be a bit soft. But it is a big, long, wide, tall and heavy ( about 4350 lbs) I tracked it at Portland international Raceway and found it not that great of a track Car although they do race them. But reaction from people has been great, people seem to love it, kids like riding in back seat. But as value keeps dropping will find it harder to spend so much on maintenance as a% of value. Just had 45,000 mile service on my mazda 6, $54.00 ! But 300 mile trips are enjoyable and I can get over 21 mpg on long trips.
I bought a 2008 GT from Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo in Oregon. Great car. Just have to watch out for people who don't appreciate your car; You have to learn how to deal with haters. This is coming from lots of incidences with my current Maserati and past earlier models I have owned. I take mine to local car shows and it wins trophies and those people appreciate cars. I am a great ambassador for the brand since I owned some of the first Maserati's in my area others have now purchased them (all models.) I usually work on my own cars as the dealer is too far away for issues such as when the car goes into limp mode for an issue. I almost never like a stock car so I go down an upgrade path with aftermarket items from FD (Formula Dynamics) such as Larini exhaust upgrades and drive by wire systems.
@@mwarren8748 Very disappointed you receive negative reactions from haters when in this car. In the UK I've had nothing but positive acknowledgements with thumbs up and always let out at junctions and people moving over for me on the motorway. Haven't experienced any haters - maybe you should move...?😁
The GranTurismo was new at about the same point that the first iPhone was released. The satnav system was also the same midrange system offered in a Citroen C5 of that age so it’s actually a fairly easy system to upgrade.. add one with CarPlay or similar and it’ll give you everything you need.
Nice review, dope music
Great review of a great car...I'm biased of course because I really enjoy my GT.
Question: What's the name of the song at the start and end of this video?
Thanks
Great video. Thanks
It was never intended to be a "supercar" it is a gran tourer (hence Gran Turismo), the name is fitting. Ferrari intentionally kept the Gran Turismo bloated to prevent it from taking sales away from Ferrari. If it was several hundred KG lighter that would be one thing but such is life. I love my 2016 Gran Turismo, the exhaust note is much throatier and deeper than a traditional Ferrari engine/exhaust combo.
Maserati has always built a fine road car. It's supposed to be the kind of car you want to drive to Paris.
I'd like to drive this car with a 6 speed manual. Maserati GTs have always been to die for, going back to the 1950s.
You drove past another masersti at 5.30 😍 im looking at getting one of these for around 20k hopefully. I plan to get around the old infotainment system by installing a new touch screen one. I love these cars!
Sold my base 4.2 liter GranTurismo. Buying an S with the 4.7 liter motor. Most beautiful car being made today. Best-sounding motor. This car occupies the space that Ferrari used to occupy before "something happened" to their now-in-house car designs. Ferrari was always designed by Pininfarina excepting on the Dino GT's of the 70's which went to Bertone. The Maserati GranTurismo by Pininfarina is the Ferrari grand tourer Ferrari stopped making decades ago,
Awesome review
Good vid. I own one and agree. Excellent gt car. Vast improvement on my c63 and r8. Cooler altogether.
I have this GT car also. Which R8 are u saying its better than ... the V8 I assume ? I always though the R8 was supercar cool. Why do you think this GT is a vast improvement over the R8 ?
Thinking about gettin a 2011 S .. used of course.. ... any advice? Things to look for?
Bush league production. Best GT car ever made. PERIOD
I'd like bentley next. Maybe leave ferrari till last as it's your fave.... great video ed
CJACEY-TRUCKS im off to Geneva on Monday so if the weather gets better then I will otherwise it will have to be next week !
When in sport and manual mode at the same time, this car feels very fast to me. From a stationary position, If i step on the pedal to the floor, its leaving rubber on the road. Did you try that ? It did the same thing even in 2nd gear going 40 miles/hr. Without sport mode or manual mode, its very slow.
I havo one Maseeati Granturusmo Sport MC exaust. 4.7. One big difference about versions is the gearbox: mine is F1 gearbox: the ride is rough, drammatic in sport mode. Like a real sportscar. The automatic gear version is smoother and lose a lot of drama and "racing feeling". Gearbox is very important in Maserati Grant. By
I love them and have been consisering buying one for a while, however the 0 to 60 has always been an issue in fact my X6M is quicker.. which is silly really. One plus point is apparently with a decent ecu remap you can bring it down from 4.8 to 60 to 4.2 which is acceptable.. I'm sure with a cat delete and tune you could bring it down to flat 4 seconds.. which I could live with.
you don't buy this masterpiece for 0-60 time, you buy it for it's masterpiece design ✌️
I've watched just about every Maz GT vid on TH-cam and this is the best. At last.....someone calling it out as a GT NOT a sports car! Well done
Joe Schmo thanks! As a super car? Crap. Gt? The best. Simple
I can't decide between the 4.2l or the 4.7l....Is there much difference? 2010 onwards cars are the best too since any problems were ironed out.
Far from the best. The hairy bloke on fifth gear is far more professional in his appraisal. It's a super car you can live with. Simples.
Joe Schmo yes! 4.7 is much better. Both are a bit underpowered if you want super mental acceleration, but the 4.7 does have a lot more pull. If
You want a chilled out cruiser. Go for the 4.7. If you want a more powerful car, perhaps a Ferrari California from 09?
M W agree to disagree...but liking the simples!
A pure class Gt not a super car elegance at its finest
Another sick video Ed! Keep it up!
Dean Bay thanks mate!
I love it just the way it is they should keep it just the way it is.
07:05 I hope the owner didn't notice that pot hole 😂
Bro I’m 16 years old rn and the Maserati gt is my dream car..I have faith in my self that in 4 years time I’ll own the Maserati so wish me luck :))
80% luxury? Not with those plastic switches and decomposing steering wheel.
what year?
Ed, if you were a better driver, you'd be able to take the car up to the limits of its handling. The Ferrari engine loves to rev and the car corners on rails. It breaks away predictably and is easily corrected. It has all the attributes you mentioned, plus, if you're a canny buyer, the 405 HP model can be found with OK miles, FSH, in the right colours for around £20k.
At that sort of price, it's a no brainer :)
M W I think you’ve kinda missed what I am saying. Compare this car to a 599 Ferrari, it handles terribly compared to it. Compare it to a VW Golf and it handles incredibly. The car is in a league of its own. That’s the whole point of my video. It’s perfect for what it is. This car isn’t about being on its limits. It’s about enjoying the cruisd
Best Gt ever, the sound of this car is fantastic.
Good luck finding parts for it 😂👌🏼
Pure elegance and coolness. Simply the sexiest car around.
what a beast of a car
When’s the next v8 episode? Lol
10:01 😂🖒🦃💩
I like these cars alot and looking forward to watching this review.
8:30 :') :') , Great video dude! Cant wair for oyur next video!
Adam O'neill thank you, glad you enjoyed. Lots more to come!
The ferrari ff is 80% luxury and 80% performance. The percenge is all wrong here, but its self explanatory. Make maserati better, closer to panamera.
This is a really good review. You should get back to making videos, I’m sure the channel will grow with time
Cool channel bro
This is honestly my dream car since young and the cool thing that hasn’t changed even after owning m cars and 1 Amg
Does this guy have any idea what a grand touring car is supposed to be? I don;t think so. He should try reading a book.
is the cabrio worth it considering the sound?
Yes, for sure! But it does feel a little bit more wobbly than the coupe. But it is a fantastic car. My family owned one a few years ago. Look at the Gran Cabrio MC Stradale as that is set up much stiffer, more like the coupe!
I think its a great car
You need to drive the mc stradale and you will see huge difference in terms of handling
I drove the MC Stradale Cabrio. The sound was better but I think the handling was let down by the loss of the roof. Must try and get into a coupe!
@@petroled5972 Doesn't the S-model and the MC Stradale have the same noise? Because it's the same engine compared to the 4.2 L?
@@Hazulkar Yes Agreed. The stradale doesn't have rear seats, so it's not a GT
Perfect GT. Never intended to be a supercar....but better than many of those.
Bit of advice my friend..... granturismo, carrera s, cl63 looking for either 1 of these which is the better you think?
James selby hmmm which gen carrera?
@@123412346484 its gonna be like 2006
Maserati for sure, it will be the less dated of them all!
@@123412346484 o just feel the cl63 is different animal power wise and makes the better noise but the the gran turismo is a prettier car
James selby cl63, most modern and cheapest in terms of maintenance
4:25 complete opposite in Singapore I'm afraid.
The name says that it's a Gran Turismo- Grand Touring. 😃
It was never supposed to be a supercar
Maserati owners drive it for the car,not to impress other people…
Maserati GT is not a super car is rather a touring car.
I like maserati for their best looking cars
The attention to this car is meant to be on the outside and under your feet - that’s all.
Also it’s a GT man, there are 50 other faster quicker cars - none are a Granturismo
From NYC. Two thumbs up, you are one of few reviewers who understood it is a grand touring car - hence the name. It’s an easy to drive thorough-bred, that you can cruise long distance and enjoy driving without pushing the cars limits and risking your drivers license
Lol you reckon new interiors are fantastic? Go have a look at AMG. I loved this car that I had 2 of them in the past but interior was always let down.
12masterwayne the last version of the Maserati GT just made the infotainment and general look slightly more modern. It was a classic design made fresh before it was stopped. That’s what I mean. Of course Mercedes a Modern, although I don’t like them, there is something timeless about Maserati. And if you wanted one but thought that it was dated, you now have a fresher option
Petrol Ed unfortunately the new facelift wasn’t good enough for me to buy another one. I too prefer classic so I moved on to Aston now.
GG Maltese Aston literally gets their interior from Mercedes
It’s a gt not a racing car...
The most funny part is that Maserati and Ferrari always hate each other.
Nice review. I dont fully agree with that the interior lets the side down. For a number of people incl myself, the fewer gimmicks and tech the better.
It is front (mid) engine, 4 seats and a useable boot. Its literally called a Grantourismo, never tried to be a Supercar
Das ist das schönste und Beste Auto das je gebaut wurde !!! Ein echter Supercar... und kein anderes Auto klingt so geil wie dieser !! Forza Maserati !!
Ja
It’s called Granturismo, it means gran tourer, it’s not supposed to be a supercar...
The steering wheel looks very dated
Yuppy mobile

Gorgeous exterior. Horrible interior.
iv got a maserati and a ferrari 458 people treat me like im a cunt when im in the ferrari its like the world wants to have a fight with you.
Like all Maseratis they are over priced under performing out of date cars.
I bought a new one and engine blew at 99k miles. That's why used are so cheap no one wants them due to costs of repairs!
If Maserati wants to push a classy bloke narative, as they obviously want to push, a slightly lower acceleration and sportivness is a necessity. I mean, just think for a minute. Maserati GT is that close to a perfect car and everybody with the money would buy one including football players, ghetto gangsters and so on. In that case, classy bloke narative is off.
Shouldn't you be reviewing BMX bikes?
Jaguar XKR sounds better, yeah I said it
Ive had an 5.0 xkr and now have a Granturismo S and the Maserati sounds much, much better
rtaylorbailey2304 nope
And fiat are 100% 😂😂😂
The reviewer comments on the tech aspects of the car. Sat Nav and infotainment. No one cares.
I would much rather have a Ferrari over a Maserati. Maseratis are literally garbage and poor quality. My dad went through 2 of them. Although both brands share similar qualities, Ferrari seems to be better engineered for some reason. My uncle never had any issues out of his 458.
In my country the 458 Italia tops out at 300K, the same year Maserati is 78K, so from my side kid, thats about the dumbest comment I have seen all week, congrats for being a moron
80% luxury, 20% performance and 100% outdated
the most good looking garbage car-----Maserati
Lmao you probably drive a mustang😂
