Everytime I hear a Maserati come along I tend to shush my friend and Crouch down near the edge of the road and put my ear near the road then Maserati drivers then floor it and then I hear at the end.
Right mate, you have missed 2 of them, both made by James May. 1st Maserati Bora and 2nd pre-facelift Maserati Quattroporte which he was driven in Sicily.
Imo as an American it doesn't get better than a V8 with maybe a borla, but from factory the Maserati is hands down music. Of course v6,8,10,12s are all brilliant sounding. They all have lovely sounds.. I remember hearing a G35 in 04 and I had to have it. My double midnight blue g35 was the tits
They have always made reliable engines but in the 70s-80s their electrics were iffy, in the 90s they were decently reliable but when the 2000s rolled around they ruined it again with the F1 transmissions. They offered a manual for the GT but hardly anyone bought it. Their cars these days are actually more reliable than most luxury cars, especially the German ones.
Owned a 430se 28 years, from new, never has let me down. Been all over France in it. Got a Levante as well, best car I have ever owned. Clarkson should stick to farming.
Damm… love my Levante but i would rip arms for Quattroporte. Well by what has been said in a last year or so Grecale is best handeling sporty SUV better than Urus, Dbx and others🤷🏻♂️ But my gem is the GT with that lovely 4.7 L V8😍 best sounding car and 🐱-wetting magnet
Forgot the Cherrie Blair joke, “reminds me of Cherrie Blair, probably has a Scouse starter motor. Eh eh eh eh eh, but it’ll probably come with two flats in Bristol….”
A colleague of mine bought an 8 year old Quattroporte (probably for about 30 bucks or so) and the only thing that he could say that he thought may stop anyone laughing at it was "It has a Ferrari engine". If you have to justify your purchase by telling others it has a motor from another brand, you know it's a pile of junk!!
You know what’s crazy… Ferrari is very stuck up about who they sell a Ferrari too, and yet they give Maserati engines… like huh?!? Am I the only one who finds that weird.
Why didn`t someone tell Jaguar when they brought out in 1998 a V8 XJR that it should sound like a V8, Maserati knew all the time, the Jaguar sounds like a Ford Pinto! At full throttle, all you can hear is a Supercharger! Having said that it is a great car.

I do

Because most people are sheep and follow the masses.

Could you do a “Gentlemen’s sausage” compilation? Whether it’s them drawing one or it just appears or when they say it.

Le Maserati are so incredible , absolutely phenomenal Sound ! 😍
The top gear compilations are getting so weirdly specific. Can tell you guys love this show
My girlfriend's boss is a Urologist and drives a black GranTurismo as a daily driver. It sounds like a motoring wet dream.
Next could be a top gear compilation of Alfa Romeo. (And perhaps even Lancia?)

i would love a lancia/saab compilations
Ha ragione...perché le macchine italiane come fascino sono superiori....non dimentichiamoci della Ferrari Lamborghini,Pagani
To make fun of them you mean...
Hi thanks for making this video and a huge thank you for posting the episodes of each clip :)
Which arm have you broken gets me every time
I had no idea they loved the Quattroporte so much. Maybe I'll add it to my list.

You forget a scene where Jeremy drives a Quattroporte in his DVD Heaven And Hell. Great car though.
I miss this show so much
The look on Clarksons face when he hit that button....priceless.
1:30 I want to wear the same goofy grin when I get a Maserati some day and push the race button
"Toyota Pious" 😂 That is exactly what I'm calling them all from now on.
I’m in the UK and after either a petrol Ghibli or 6th Gen QP. I love them
This made my night 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think the Quattroporte might be one of the few cars they all agree on.
The Maserati startup and jeremy clarkson laugh both sound like an old pull string doll that's been sitting on the attic shelf for 14 years
3:10 Honda has been doing that exhaust flap trick since the early 90's. There's an old saying, I believe it goes something like... VTEC kicked in yo!
Yes, but that's basically Ferrari engine screaming, meanwhile Honda only makes lawnmower 2 liter 4 pot engines.
Everytime I hear a Maserati come along I tend to shush my friend and Crouch down near the edge of the road and put my ear near the road then Maserati drivers then floor it and then I hear at the end.

You’d be surprised but apparently the Levante is actually decently reliable considering it’s a Maserati.

I took mine on a dirt road and the all wheel drive immediately blew up
Yeah probably a reliable Maserati that’s not a tough feat
@@SWAGDABMOM666 sounds about right. Just wait two years!!
Imagine calling an Italian car "reliable", some of the may bit more reliable than French cars.
I do like a Maserati Very rare I've seen one. I think I've seen the 4×4 a Ghibli maybe, a GT and a Quattraporte.
I sell Maserati’s and think about these guys everyday
Oh how I miss these guys!
I love the Trident ❤️🔱

One of these clips were filmed on my birthday oct 20.
The question is, if it is so good, would you buy a used one, three to fours old and under 40k miles? I think I'd rather buy a 9-10 yo Saab. 🤔

The whole car was worth £7000 because the engine was garbage.
