Jason. Thank you for providing the world with a video that does this absolute future classic the justice it deserves.

Glad to see someone dispel that 50/50 weight distribution is 'perfect'. When accelerating you wish a rear weight bias for traction. Upon braking force is moved forward so a rear bias keep the center of rotation more towards the middle for cornering. My Lotus is 38/62. Given F1 cars can bias fore/aft the brakes they are in the 45/55 range to adjust as fuel loads and traction changes.

From 09:30 and after, the comentary is gold. I really love that part man! What a great video!

Having owned one of the later model GTS's, 2016, I can say they do have a very distinct sound that you will recognize any place. The only down side of owning a Maserati is the maintenance. It was common to spend at least $2k-$3k yearly in maintenance for the car. And that was driving it well below the 12k average miles per year. You also have the same interior issues as seen in Ferrari, sticky buttons are still an issue as with the leather dash starting to lift at the edges. If you plan on owning one be sure to budget in your maintenance costs.

My favorite sedan of modern times without doubt. If I would find a bag of cash on the street today, my new daily driver would be a Quattroporte by tomorrow.

@@Bubbles99718 I think the facelifts with the zf auto are a more like 30/35k in good shape. Here in Europe at least. The real money pit is going to be the maintanance though..

Please Jason, make an episode on the classic mini. So much history to be told, the first 997cc cooper S engine made by John Cooper from spare parts (which was awful), the high revving 970cc and 1070cc, the rally pedigree, the OHC A series that never was, multiple take overs, the insane ERA Turbo.... So much to be said about this absolute gem of a car, a classless icon that literally changed affordable performance as we know it.

I had the opportunity to daily drive one of these for about a week a few years ago. It was a 2008, so the Torque converted box not the "Duo Select" single clutch auto transaxle. Spectacular car, so classy, beautiful engine sound, and honestly a great drive whether on a moderately windy back road, or where it thrives, on the open highway!!

I do love my Sport GT S. Definitely the best "daddy's car" - as I call it - around!
