Default Maserati Grancabrio

I was behind a white one today in the multistorey at Gatwick airport.

OMG! That thing just sounded insane! He was driving like a loon (bit of a prick TBH) but the exhaust note was just incredible.
Not sure what he had done to it, if anything but it gave me goosebumps.

Thats an interesting alternative when you have £100k to spend. Loved it.

looks fantastic but 12.7 MPG! I guess if you can afford the £100K then probably this is not important.

Off to check my lottery ticket and......

I utterly love these. I've seen a few iterations, including the "special" pictured above. I poured over one at Goodwood Revival this weekend - can't help feel that in the metal, the front looks a bit short on the cab where it looks perfect on the front.

Still. I would.

I was behind the four door the other day. They sound great too.

Those coupes are huuuuge. I parked the 'Lude next to one & it started trembling. Although that might've been a train.

I'm hoping the FT86 looks as good, but is a more sensible size.
