The Granturismo is a great car, we owned one for about 4 months that was white w/blue inteiror and white stiching, really nice car, I got a chance to drive it a few times and i have to say that it didnt seem underpowered to me. We got rid of ours because we purchased another car but we are on the list for the granturismo s. honestly, it is a true 4 seater, during those 4 months that we had ours my drove it every day, he had no problems and thought it wasnt underpowered either, it only feels underpowered depending on how you drive. IMO The looks of the car and the handling make up for any loss of power, its truely an awesome car!!! we drove it to chicago in the begining of spring and had 2 adults in front and me and my little brother in back, (keep in mind my brother is no taller than me and he is 13) I was as comfortable as I would be when sitting in the back of my moms gx470, you can really take this car and take some of your friends out with you on a night out on the town. Its a great daily driver, we had no problems with ours, just some minor wear and tear isues, like oil change etc.... but A word of advice, if you want to go into the car wash with the granturismo and you have the 20" birdcage wheels, DONT EVEN TRY IT!! We learned the hard way, for some reason they dont fit right into the car wash guide tracks and scratch the lip and center of the rim. We had to replace every single wheel on that car. Get the 19" wheels and you should be happy.

 

they look a little awkward in photos but in person win me over. I don't see them holding their value well but that's another story

 

Justin,

The guy that owns the red Maserati also owns an F50, Enzo, Bugatti, and some other wild cars. He's the owner of Hyotec (sp?.. the place on Route 17). The car is beautiful, I got a chance to drive on momentarily and liked it but just didn't do it for me as far as the whole package goes. The 997TT is a completely different and more pleasurable animal.

 

+1 -- I agree

 

Was it dark gray? I saw a dark grey one yesterday as well...and I live in NJ as well. What town are you in?

 

On paper and most pictures the of Quattroporte and the Grandturismo look good HOWEVER you need a full on 360 view to really appreciate the design,they look gorgeous in person. They pretty much Ferrari GT's.

 

In the post you quoted, it says its red

 

THIS CAR IS DEAD sexy!!!!

 

any pics yet i dont see any?

 

im so in love with the GT.... white with blue interior for me.just saw that combo yesturday

 

I saw it in person and sat in it at the AM Ferrari Mas dealership in Atlanta, looks amazing. It even looked good in burgundy on Entourage last night, but then again, they make all the cars look good on that show

 

He owns Hytorque (I for get the spelling) He does some of the manufacturing for bolts and other peices for Ferrari from what I was told. He also owns an Original Viper ACR in White with Blue Stripes. The F50 used to be parked there ALL THE TIME when I worked up there 4 years ago. He left it parked with the top off 25 feet from RT 17. I stopped many a time to admire that beauty. He got one of the first ones in the US actually. Someone I used to work with told me he had one and I lost 50$ on a bet because I did NOT believe him that was the car. I was sure he had it confused with somethiong else. Then I saw it and nearly fainted. That guy is NO JOKE when it comes to cars. I spoke to him once or twice and he was nice guy.

 

Any idea what the market price is now? Even at $80K its a bargain

 

Not sure of the Maser's price but doubt it's even close to a new DB9. That would be 430 territory, no?

 

granturismo is really nice
