I miss seeing these cars. I wish Maserati would make a proper sportscar again instead of just constantly teasing us with the Alfieri. Would be a great addition to the GT3 class.
Maybe now that FCA and PSA merged together, the new CEO Tavares will give Maserati the chance to produce a new top model to revive the brand. Worst case would be however that he just kills both Alfa Romeo and Maserati because these brands are dying out right now and sales are low anyway.
They need to make the GranTurismo's successor into a GT3 car. Just as pretty, twice as fast. Since the Dodge Viper is dead (sniffle) there isn't really a better brand to make a GT3 car for besides Ferrari.
@@nik7bkh965 Here in Italy Alfa sold lots of Giulias and Stelvios and the smaller suv Tonale is on its way so I'm pretty sure Alfa isn't dying out. Maserati is doing good in China and middle east I believe, the problem is that it shifted its target buyers and now competes with premium brands such as BMW, Porsche, MB...
@@giobattaperosa9956 Yeah, the German premium brands are definitely giving Alfa and Maserati a hard time... Alfa romeo has a hard time in Europe because cars like the C-Class, BMW 3 series, Audi A5 are far more popular outside of Italy than the giulia. Also the Stelvio has more than just the GLC, the Q5 and the X3 as competitors... The giulietta is basically dead and definitely worse than Audi A3, Mercedes A Class or seat Leon for example (coming from an Alfa fan) because it's basically the same car for 8 years now which is really sad. The giulietta is just too outdated. The stelvio and giulia are definitely on par with the german car though, but they still suffer from alfa romeos bad brand-reputation... Maserati has it even worse than alfa because ALL their models are outdated and significantly worse than what the Germans are offering... The ghibli and quattroporte have such an outdated and cheap interior that it's noway near comparable to what a S Class or E class look like inside. The tech inside (infotainment system) has been the same for more than 5 years. It all looks pretty outdated. I don't see maserati living long if they don't make some changes in their product portfolio.
Honestly to see Maserati take up racing in the GT3 class would be epic. I cannot think of anything better for the brand than to return to its racing roots, it may not see instant results but the cars we see on screen as kids are the cars we aspire to own and the brands we wish to support as we come of age and gain the financial ability.
@@kylepasta maintenance actually isn't that bad. You can get extremely unlucky with something like the heater core or immobilizer, but the cars are otherwise fairly bulletproof. Much more reliable than a same-year Jag or Aston and comparable to a 911 in terms of service costs.
@@flyingphoenix113 yep was going to type this, the 4200 coupe is very reliable as long as you get the rare manual, Gransport has the auto manual which needs clutches like it needs brake pads.
@@Trialnerror Excellent taste in cars sir. For my imaginary purchase, I would use the clutch replacement money, get a 4200 manual coupe, and bolt GS parts to it. Wont be as collectible but will be 99%of what a GS is, and no F1 clutch issues. But enjoy your ride sir, amazing car.
I have now owned my 2004 Coupe for 7 years. I spend about $1000 per year in repairs and maintenance. I put 25,000 miles over the 7 years. Not that much more expensive if at all than a comparable M series BMW or a AMG.
It's a race car. Has no muffler. Most shit boxes without a muffler sounds "mean" burbles and pops and growls. I used to have a 3 cylinder Suzuki Swift that had an exhaust leak. It sounded "mean" as well.
The engine, is it the "original" GranSport with a GranTurismo manifold inlet or a complete GranTurismo engine, hope I make my question clear enough to understand what I am getting at?
It's a silhouette racer built by the French company Solution F and it's called TC10. You can choose from various engines (that one has a LS7 V8) and external bodies. The one that resembles a Volvo V60 is quite famous ;)

looks and sounds great. Dispete having a Ferrari V8 it sounds more like a muscle car.
Same block as the F430, but with a cross-plane crank.
Belgian-Motorsport Cross-plane crank shaft vs flat-plane crankshaft and a 4-1 exhaust header
Meteor Media f136 ??
Such amazing cars, and road versions are quite a bargain right now. Dream car.
Maintenance is probably a nightmare tho lol youd be better off buying a newer car I think in the long run

what a amazing sound !!!!
They sound great!
Love this sound..... Until those 2 Porsches flew by
50fps is the sweet spot👍
that would make me happy
Che sound!! 🔝🔝
I only ever saw this car once in my life. At Silverstone FIA GT 2006. Don’t really remember it 😢
The engine, is it the "original" GranSport with a GranTurismo manifold inlet or a complete GranTurismo engine, hope I make my question clear enough to understand what I am getting at?
Awesome Bozzy 👍 the man 😎
🔥
Amazing.
I bet the wear on the F1 clutch is super fast
Great video Bozzy. 🎄🎅🎁🇮🇹🍷🙏Buon Natale.. Hope you and your family have a great time together.. From Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Thanks a lot my friend! Wish you a very Buon Natale to you too ;D
It really sounds like the v8 engine in the Australian v8 supercars
600th like on this video! Thumbs up for Maserati!
This engine is pure Art. So is the car.
Interesting car 👍👍👍
Awesome!
that would be a good turbo case to lokka like a supercharger
What car is that at 1:40 between the two Maseratis?
It's a silhouette racer built by the French company Solution F and it's called TC10. You can choose from various engines (that one has a LS7 V8) and external bodies. The one that resembles a Volvo V60 is quite famous ;)
@19bozzy92 are they yours? If so PM me Im interested.
Something tells me this car would go great with a sequential manual transmission
both of us with puppy ears and nosey
2:45 "man this car sounds nice"
Then the porsches Flew by😍
the drivers/owners of those 4200GT-s weren´t friendly enough to let your GoPro get some footage from the onboard?
No, I was probably just too shy to ask them XD
It sounds good, but it looks weird.
Sounds like a corvette race car

Porsche Power
Well, 10 years newer.... but yeah.
996-997 era I’d say pretty damn advanced Tranny and engine…
Those things are way too quiet!
Did Honda design these Mesartis?
Whos here after watching cartrek?

This car shares 90% with Ferrari California who was built based on this car after Ferrari decided to kill this car…
Yea this thing is faaaaaaar from stock. Not even close.
brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap who said it is? 😂
It is a GT3 class car, but based on the 4200 chassis. Far from stock indeed.
brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap They never said it was....?
😂
@@Spudchucker92 never said anyone said it was stock. Just saying, it's far from stock.
