MASERATI’S AUTOMATIC-EQUIPPED version of the stunning Granturismo S is now on sale in Australia, boasting eight cylinders, six speeds and a $328,500 pricetag (before on-roads, of course).
The new ZF-sourced automatic transmission may not sound as sophisticated as the MC Supershift automated sequential manual that it complements, but thanks to sportier shift-mapping and a harder lock-up [...]
WE GAVE YOU the rundown on Maserati’s latest heavy-hitting executive express, the Quattroporte Sport GT S, last week, but now the car is in the country, on sale and ready to rock.
Thanks to the ACCC’s new car pricing scheme that came into effect today, Maserati has declined to give the Quattroporte Sport GT S a [...]
When the 2009 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year, Steane described it as the world’s sexiest four-door - the Aston Martin Rapide may wish to lodge a complaint on that call, but regardless, the fast new Mazza saloon is a very good looking unit.
Envisioned, says Maserati, [...]
“That looks _____ good.” So said TMR’s Tony O’Kane as he wandered past my desk and caught a glimpse of the NoviTec Tridente Maserati GranTurismo S. We don’t condone that sort of talk around these parts, but when you’re right, you’re right.
Pushing 447kW (600hp) through the 4.7 litre V8, the German tuning house strapped on [...]
It used to be that if you were a young Aussie looking to hire a limo to ferry you and your mates to the high school formal, your choices ran from stretched Ford Fairlanes and Fairmonts, to imported Lincolns.
These days, when it’s time for you and the blokes to hit the town in style, the [...]
Maserati has unveiled its GranTurismo MC racer during an FIA GT media day at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. The MC is based on the Maserati GranTurismo S and is a development of the GranTurismo MC Corse concept car that was revealed last September.

Word on the street is that Maserati will be giving the shapely GranTurismo coupe the same treatment afforded to its recently-unveiled Quattroporte GT S, and that the Italian marque will also release an all-new convertible early next year.
The forthcoming GranTurismo GT S will receive the Quattroporte GT S’s 323kW engine, automatic gearbox and a lower, [...]
… for Maserati has announced that spaces in its increasingly-popular Master Maserati Driving Course are disappearing fast, with only ten places left in its first course for 2009. (Oh yes, you also will need sufficient cashola and a ticket to Varano, Italy.)
The driving courses on offer put both aspiring and existing Maserati owners in the [...]
What’s the world’s best-ever race car? Jaguar’s D-Type? Sadly not. The Le Mans-conquering Mazda 787B? No dice. Skaifey’s Commodore? Err, nope.
According to readers of British enthusiast mag Octane, the world’s best racing car is the Maserati 250F - a vintage Formula One open-wheeler that blitzed the world’s circuits over half a century ago.
While it may [...]
Global Financial Crisis be damned! Maserati has recorded its best-ever year on record, posting its second consecutive record breaking sales year in a row.

As we noted recently with Rolls-Royce sales, [...]
The world’s sexiest four door has slipped into something a little more comfortable, in an effort to raise the bar… so to speak. Maserati has chosen the 2009 North American International Auto Show as the venue for the world debut of its Quattroporte Sport GT S.
According to Maserati, the Quattroporte Sport GT S “sets another [...]
Victory burnouts. Is there no greater joy? Andrea Bertolini and Michael Bartels of the Maserati Vitaphone Racing Team celebrated their recent win of the 2008 FIA GT World Championship with burnout after triumphant burnout in their Maserati MC-12 racing car - but not at the racetrack, and for another good reason.
Performed in a carpark (the [...]
Maserati has posted its global sales results year-to-date for 2008 and, despite the worldwide economic downturn, the resurgent Italian sporting marque is keeping its head above the stormy waters.

The world may be in the grip of a Global Financial Crisis, but that isn’t going to stop one of the world’s largest Ferrari (and Maserati) dealerships from opening its doors in Melbourne this week.
Called ‘Zagame Ferrari’, the new dealership is being heralded as a “Multi-million dollar investment in a retail outlet for the world’s [...]

Maserati has revealed details and images of its newest track-only model, the GranTurismo MC Corse Concept.
Designed to deliver uncompromising circuit-ready performance, the MC Corse (Corse means “Racing” in Italian) features a number of mods that enable it to accelerate faster and grip harder than the road-going GranTurismo S it’s based on.
The GranTurismo S’s 4.7-litre V8 [...]

The Quattroporte is the most successful Maserati ever, with world-wide sales exceeding 15,000 units and a trophy cabinet bursting at the seams having collected 46 international awards.
The Maserati flagship is now [...]
The modern Maserati is as a rule an extremely desirable performance car, there are few who would argue that point. A gentleman’s express that combines pace with grace and frankly the idea of a Maserati Quattroporte wagon just doesn’t sit well with me.
Coachbuilding firm Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera see it differently and have confirmed that [...]
German tuning house edo Competition have taken Maserati’s MC12 supercar and tweaked it for more power, less weight and better handling. They (rather unimaginatively) call it the edo MC12 and while it may look outwardly similar to the “regular” MC12, don’t be deceived: most of the changes are under its carbon-fibre skin.
Power has been increased [...]
Interest rates may be on the rise, along with inflation but it doesn’t seem to be hurting the ‘big end’ of town, with Maserati reporting a 77 per cent rise in its Australian sales in the first quarter of 2008. Those sales are set to increase with the arrival of the ultimate Maserati Quattroporte, the [...]

This years Geneva Motor Show in March will mark the one year anniversary of the debut of Maserati’s GranTurismo. The GranTurismo romanced us for the rest of 2007 with the highlight being an up-close look at the GT at the 2007 Sydney Motor Show.
