Why you should pick this Maserati over a Ferrari
Ғылым және технология
/ xcarfilms
Maserati has been making cars for over a century, yet you don't see that many about. With myriad choices, Italian or otherwise, why would you go for a Maser over anything else? With the aid of the delightfully noisy GranTurismo MC Stradale, XCAR found out.

Maserati hands down. More comfortable, beautiful, best sound, best consumption at its performance levels. No question about it.
Watched this video a long time ago when I first bought my car. Happy to watch it again today. Great video and a great car. The Granturismo has become even more special after all these years, particularly with the styling, sexy sound, and naturally aspirated V8 engine - a standout, especially when compared to other manufacturers. Combining forces of Maserati, Ferrari, and Pininfarina in one car makes it truly something exceptional. Yes, it is a modern classic!
people in the comments obviosly never drove a maserati.....drive one and THEN leave your opinion

Don' t know what you mean. But, owning a second hand Maserati Gransport Contemporary Classic since 2009, I can assure everyone that the car has very distinct pros and cons. Count the sound, the quick downshifts and the superb turn-in in the former; count the greasy (after a few years of ownership) interior plastics, the mediocre, even in sport mode, upshifts and the brake feel in the latter. As regards the looks, this is evidently a subjective thing.

And, btw, there is no old Maserati flair in the Maserati models after the Granturismo anymore. Maserati has become something like Jaguar or Porsche nowadays.

J VL I don't refer to styling. I mean that Maserati tends to become, if not a mass-production car maker, at least a medium size-production one. With an SUV and the new Ghibli (I hate this car!) in their current range, they aim to appeal to a broader consumer target-market; too bad for the mark's heritage.

dmgemini162 thank merc and bmw for that. Since making 29000 cars and now u see them every 10 ft.
Performance will always be out dated by the new models very soon, but the Italian V8 naturally aspirated sound is forever.
Exclusivity. Storied Racing History. Gorgeous styling. And a glorious Ferrari sourced engine. Rest assured, this car in the years to come will be considered a modern classic.

Maserati will never ever go out of style u hear me !!!!!
Bought a convertible GTS my second and 4th Maser lifetime... great review! Thanks!
Put it in sport mode mash the throttle and change gears above 5,500rpm and there is no lurch or lag at all. It performs the gear change in milliseconds!!
Amazing video upload more of these CNET
If you buy a sports car for it's design, it's personal. Some buy for performance. Others buy for features like comfort. There is a point where paying more doesn't get you anything more tangible.
Good review, great sound, good brakes, good handling. Highlight for me in many trips in my mates GT is the interior space, we are both 6’3” and around 100kg, and our wives are happy in the back and they’re 5’10” and 5’11”. Can’t do that in many of the peers...

I am older today. had many cars. In 2022 am driving an S class. My Maserati quatroporte 2007 will be the best ever car in my life !! I miss it !!
There is no denying this is a beautiful car! It has the speed, the looks and the sound. However the interior kills this car. This car is quite literally 7 years old. What have Maserati been doing for 7 years. Typically luxurious automotive companies, such as Ferrari, will release annual updates to already existing models. Not here however!? Why? Do they not care. Unless you absolutely must have this car I see no compelling reason to avoid looking elsewhere. Perhaps a nice Ferrari California!
One of the most balanced, intelligent and interesting reviews I have ever seen regarding any of the Maserati range. I totally agree with the "why" - it is truly beautiful and I believe has the position of being quite unique in the automotive world. The presenter is right... It isn't a Ferrari, or Lambo or even a Porsche......... It is uniquely a Maserati. Luv it! Great video.
Love to see it in red with red interior.

Is the best looking world GT IMHO, it deserves a stronger engine. It must be said that it’s a 10 years old design, still looks incredible fresh and beautiful

Exotics, are not ALWAYS about what 'other' people (and YOU) think. Its not always about what a ton of STRANGERS that I will never meet, think. As I'm an inventor and product designer for my own projects, I'm obsessed with mechanics, user experience and the 'look' I 'LOVE' great design, and I DO spend over an hour a day minimum inside the interior. The fit and finish matters to me. And I love the FEEL l of a great handling, but smooth, driving car. And I love when I get on the on-ramp to the highway or pass a car, for the car to GO! My car isn't for 'other' people, but for me. Its not balls out, death race 2000 in-between lights, and lose my license - but just for me - so 3/10ths of a second 0-60 faster/slower, or what ANYONE thinks... doesn't MATTER. Negative comments ARE annoying, like any angry comments from old grannys and their gossiping friends. I didn't pay for other people's thumbs up or down - only mine. If you do like my car, by all means take a look - then go on about living YOUR life. I'll live mine.

The problem with Maserati is quite simple. It's a higher volume brand Ferrari with all the Ferrari maintenance costs. FCA has a bit of a challenge here. Where do they position Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ferrari? They really need to build the brand to be distinct from Ferrari and all their other brands. Right now Maserati is a bit lost along with Lancia and Chrysler.

Paganis are hypercars and though have superb interiors, don't have the comfort of a Maseratis Gran Turismo or especially the Quattroporte. You don't compare most Ferraris or Pagani to a Maserati just like you don't compare a McLaren to an Aston Martin. You compare the Maserati to the Aston Martin. (Ferrari does make some GT cars that can be compared to Maserati Gran Turismo but the 458 and LaFerrari are ultimate sports cars).
I get his rationale, but like others who've previously commented, there are better choices for "novelty" exotic cars. Personally would take the Alfa Romeo 8C in roadster form. It's got that timeless look that this one doesn't.
It's on my dream board ....until I pay cash for one I'll reserve comment. Father of GT package for all cars.
but a Q60 has the same 0-60, but i guess it doesnt have the same drama

Why this maserati will lose its value 5x faster than a ferrari Not saying the maserati is a bad car maserati is my fav brand after ferrari but for value and driving experience ferrari is more worth it, classic design that ages well way less depreciation possible inflation, maserati's are great cars but they are wayyyyy too expensive for what the are. especially the granturismo its not luxurious at all the interior is horrendous, the exterior is beautiful but starting at 135k i don't think so maserati, you can get a used 2016 mc convertible for 80k

Price point is not the only thing that goes into specialness. Yes the Maserati is a lot cheaper than the Lambo or Ferrari but it sounds great, looks good in fact in the opinion of many looks better than the more expensive rivals, drives well and is great value for money if we want to be honest. Does the Huracan really deliver an extra 60K of value compared to he Gran Turismo? Maybe. maybe not.
the outside looks very nice, but overall nothing spectacular or unique. It does feel very powerful while driving, but the steering is very very stiff. The inside looks terrible, very outdated as mentioned by almost everyone. A nice car but just not worth the money. Wait for the alfieri.
It's going to lose value like hell though.
What a waste of money and pollution this beauty in a country where limit is 40 mph with cameras everywhere. Buy to show, not to be
