Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS: A Ferrari Powered Super Saloon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The Maserti Quattroporte Sport GTS is a Ferrari V8 powered Executive saloon that is fun to drive. The Bilstein dampers help make this saloon incredibly engaging to drive. With four doors, it's also a practical car, able to carry a family of four in comfort, what's not to love?
The running costs may be high, but when you have the combination of that Ferrari V8, the eight speed ZF gearbox and suspension that is supple yet sporty - why would you buy a BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S Class?
The Maserti Quattroporte GTS is a hidden gem, and I absolutely loved it.
Thanks to Jayemm and the Quattrporte's owner Dave, check out James's video here:

The Maserati was epic, should I get one?
Why, you have a Punto HGT ;)
But maybe you should have an Italian stable of cool cars.
@@scoobmusicnz that does sound like fun 😁
Set aside a slush fund for repairs
I've got one. It's been reliable for 4 years now except random electrical faults (mostly dash warnings) if I let the battery run low. Oddly, they usually fix themselves after a decent run :)
I'm thinking of selling but I know that I'll miss it when it's gone. There's really nothing else like it, or even close to it.
@@crazydog.x Same with my Porsche, low batteries can cause all manner off odd faults.
The gearbox in these cars is a ZF-6 Speed. Nice video!
Thanks, I realised after the video was out , the enthusiasm got ahead of me.
As an owner of one..I love seeing videos on the Maserati qp gt s!
How has your ownership experience been?
If I was speccing a car and heated seats were optional and not part of some other package then I maybe wouldn't bother. Probably because I don't go around driving cars in short trousers in winter 😀 Cooled seats, however, are well worth getting. (Epic sounds from the QP btw)
Short trousers 24x7 😂
having 700 subscribers is criminal. Fantastic work dude!
Thank you so much 😁
Great video man! Such a big fan of these cars
Thanks! It was my first time driving a Maserati, such an epic car 😁
Mine's an absolute beast!
They’re great cars
Yep, temperement of an italian, but sticks a grin on yer face eveytime i'm out in it :)
I've got a 2008 4.2 quattroporti v8 in perlecent cream orange leather interior 😋 great car to drive
That’s quite a rare colour combo!
You should try a Jaguar XJR R V8 2015-2017. Another great super saloon which I am eyeing up. Arguably better overall than the Masa, I would not refuse either though and Jag specialists are more plentiful in Blighty.
That’s true, or on a smaller budget the S-Type R. Tempting, I’ve never owned a jaguar or supercharged car either. Two for one! 🤔
Much much easier car to maintain and parts are very plentiful when compared to Massers
@@richardwilson57 Yup, a Jag is on the to consider list, that's for sure.
The thing is once you get in the Mazz and listen to the sound track it’s essentially game over …….
@@richardwilson57 💯, now looking at grand cabrios 😂
That’s quite rare, it’s a QP Sport GTS, not a GTS. I’m happy to be corrected but I believe there were less than 100 RHD Sport GTS ever made.
It is! Let me update the title 😁
You right with name, but no with quantity. There was a 126 limited edition called “Awards edition” with 450hp and ventilated massaging seats in comparison with “normal”” Sport GTS with 440hp.
@@unnamedxbox Thanks, I didn't know that! Do you know how many Right Hand Drive QP Sport GTS were built? (even better if you also know how many RHD "Awards Edition" were built) Many thanks
@@crazydog.x Unfortunately, no. Only some employees from the Maserati dealer might know the exact quantity. Since it is Italian, I guess most of the cars wbe LHD.
@@unnamedxbox Yes, I read on a Maserati forim that only 88 right hand drive QP Sport GTS were built, but I've no idea if this is accurate :)
That car has almost certainly got heated heats …… the controls are hidden under the front of the seat and that’s why you didn’t see them ….
Maybe, but both previous owners would have had to have missed the controls as well. Certainly possible.
No many it was specced by someone that only drove it in summer 😅
great car! I‘d just have the gearbox swapped for manual like in the granturismo S from ‘08
Tempting but expensive! I think the ZF gearbox suits it.
My seats are heated, check the front of the seat. 2011 GTS.
Does the gear box blip the throttle on down changes? Gorgeous sound, and one very beautiful car!!!
I believe it does!
The 3rd best sounding engine in the world. 2nd is LC500 and first is the LFA.
LC500 is pretty spectacular. Having driven both I’d say the Lexus pips it. But the QPV rides better.
What happened to the Porsche? Any new videos?
I sold that back in April after the Nurburgring trip. I may get another Porsche in the future though.
A little more technical information would be cool but other than that keep up the hood work!
Thanks! This was more of a reaction/thoughts style video than a proper car review. I’m not great with facts & figures 😂
Is that steering wheel OEM? Masersto is like a horrible itch that you can't scratch away. Looker.
I believe so, optional extra.
Replacement for the Cayenne……😉
Yup it’s a strong possibility. Need to get the Cayenne sold first 😁
The German super suv is having a new intercooler fitted atm.
@@Project40Cars do it! The Masser is way cooler than an SUV.
@@samcourt6228 yup 😂 sad but true.
🔱🇮🇹❤️
It’s Monica Bellucci on four wheels…..

We can see where you got your inspiration from filming these shots😂 that flyby shot is true copy paste from JayEmm
It’s his old car, James was kind enough to lend me some b-roll drive bys as we didn’t have time to film those on the day.
@@Project40Cars Well damn! I really thought it was familiar!
@@JuliuszBaczynski 😁 I’ve been fortunate enough to drive a couple of his cars since then. Great guy, he’s really supportive of smaller channels.
