Frankly, high quality cars like this example make our job of describing their condition straightforward.

Perhaps Motor Trend said it best during their road test… “And as the Maser enters high in the rev counter, its sound is expanded as if plugged into an amplifier set to 11 — a deep and sinister concoction of exotica and Motown permeating all. It’s this sound you remember long after you’ve turned the car off and flown home.”

HISTORY OF THE MASERATI Granturismo / GranTurismo S
The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio (Tipo M145) are a series of a grand tourers produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati. They succeeded the 2-door V8 grand tourers offered by the company, the Maserati Coupé and Spyder. Unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, the GranTurismo has a drag coefficient of 0.33.[1] The model was initially equipped with a 4.2-litre (4,244 cc (259.0 cu in)) V8 engine developed in conjunction with Ferrari. The transmission is equipped with a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. The GranTurismo platform was derived from Maserati M139 platform of Maserati Quattroporte V, with double-wishbone front and rear suspension. The grand tourer emphasises comfort in harmony with speed and driver-enjoyment.
The better equipped S variant was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show[3] and features the enlarged 4.7-litre (4,691 cc (286.3 cu in)) V8 engine shared with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, rated at 440 PS (324 kW; 454 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 490 N⋅m (361 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm. At the time of its introduction, it was the most powerful road legal Maserati offered for sale (excluding the homologation special MC12). The engine is mated to the 6-speed sequential semi-automatic transmission shared with the Ferrari F430 Scuderia.[4] With the transaxle layout weight distribution improved to 47% front and 53% rear. The standard suspension set-up is fixed-setting steel dampers, with the Skyhook adaptive suspension available as an option along with a new exhaust system, and upgraded Brembo brakes. The seats were also offered with various leather and Alcantara trim options. The upgrades were made to make the car more powerful and more appealing to the buyers while increasing performance, with acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) happening in 4.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 295 km/h (183 mph). Aside from the power upgrades, the car featured new side-skirts, unique 20-inch wheels unavailable on the standard car, a small boot lip spoiler and black headlight clusters in place of the original silver.
