The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio (Tipo M145) are a series of a grand tourers produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati from 2007 to 2019. They succeeded the 2-door V8 grand tourers offered by the company, the Maserati Coupé, and Spyder. The model was initially equipped with a 4.2-litre (4,244 cc (259.0 cu in)) V8 engine developed in conjunction with Ferrari. The GranTurismo platform was derived from Maserati M139 platform of Maserati Quattroporte V, with double-wishbone front and rear suspension. The grand tourer emphasizes comfort in harmony with speed and driver-enjoyment.
The GranTurismo set a record for the most quickly developed car in the auto industry, going from design to production stage in just nine months. The reason being that Ferrari, after selling off Maserati to the Fiat Chrysler Group, took the designs of the proposed replacement of the Maserati Coupé and after some modifications, launched it as the Ferrari California.[2]
A total of 28,805 GranTurismos and 11,715 units of the convertible were produced.[4] The final production example of the GranTurismo, called Zéda, was presented painted in a gradient of blue, black and white colours.[1]
GranTurismo S (2008-2012)
GranTurismo S
The better equipped S variant was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show[6] and features the enlarged 4.7-litre (4,691 cc (286.3 cu in)) V8 engine shared with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, rated at 440 PS (324 kW; 434 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 490 N⋅m (361 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm. At the time of its introduction, it was the most powerful road-legal Maserati offered for sale (excluding the homologation special MC12). The engine is mated to the 6-speed automated manual shared with the Ferrari F430.[7] With the transaxle layout weight distribution improved to 47% front and 53% rear. The standard suspension set-up is fixed-setting steel dampers, with the Skyhook adaptive suspension available as an option along with a new exhaust system, and upgraded Brembo brakes. The seats were also offered with various leather and Alcantara trim options. The upgrades were made to make the car more powerful and more appealing to the buyers while increasing performance, with acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) happening in 4.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 295 km/h (183 mph). Aside from the power upgrades, the car featured new side skirts, unique 20-inch wheels unavailable on the standard car, a small boot lip spoiler, and black headlight clusters in place of the original silver. The variant was available in the North American market only for MY2009 with only 300 units offered for sale. Expedition Money LLC

Jeremy Clarksons line about Maserati “it’s like owning a 2 year old child- it’s really annoying most of the time but if anyone tried to take it away from you you’d kill them” is by far the truest statement ever made about Maserati V8 ownership
That's so true 😅
Very true indeed
Love the sound of Maserati engines
Me too!!
I love that Maserati uses the same type of exhaust as the Ferraris . It's awesomeness
I agree. It sounds great!
The 4.7 V-8 that powers this car is assembled by and in the Ferrari plant.
@@tima.478 it's a ferrari engine with a stroker and different figures. Even the steering wheel came off a 612, correct me if I m wrong.
@@mihailhidler5400 The F136 engine, commonly known as Ferrari-Maserati engine, is a family of 90° V8 petrol engines jointly developed by Ferrari and Maserati in 2001. The Ferrari configuration is a 180° flat-plane crankshaft. The Maserati is a 90° cross-plane crankshaft. The flat-plane Ferrari is obvious built and designed more for speed than the Maserati engine.
@@tima.478 Maserati uses cross-plane while Ferrari uses flat-plane.
You don’t meet a lot of Maserati men, but what a unique and fun car to drive!
Thanks, John!
Buy one. I have ❤. I love it and every one who sees or hears it loves it. .. I've no regrets buying mine😁🥰
I love maserati so much. This blue is my favorite. This is Munia. Greetings my friend.
Thanks, Munia! It's a lot of fun!
Great review.....you identified far more than others in the good and not so good things on this car. Many thanks
Thanks, Kevin! Just trying to share the deets!
Eyyy, I live around there. Vernon Hills! My pops also went to NU funnily enough. I haven’t checked on your channel in ages but am blown away by how much it’s grown. I was here in the beginning but then stopped watching RUclips for a while. A couple of my buddies and I used to watch your videos back in the day. Can’t believe time passed like that. Now I’m gettin ready to go to college and stuff. Definitely gonna be tuning into the channel more often now
Welcome back, Diego! Your early views kept me going!!
Beautiful car! I feel ya about the automatic trans, having the paddles allows you to interact, but when you want to just cruise along, it shifts for you. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
Because your world must suck. MANual is the only truly engaging transmission
Currently looking into get these car! Seems like great car and looking to trade in my charger 392. I always was fan of gran turisomo sport
Honestly I can see these Maserati Grand Turismos actually going up in value significantly over the next few years. Values may be down now but I can definitely see them rebounding
That would be nice! It's strange when a Maserati is a good value option compared to a lot of other cars.
@@petervonpandain the future collectors will want an old school Italian V8 engine that sings. Especially when the only other option is an electric car.
so $160,00 new and $50,000 used 6 years later? Okay.
@@infringinator that's a lot of expensive cars
Well, the future is here now and you were wrong.
This car looks way better the any 2022 car and sounds better
I wanted one bad...then saw your comments about inclement rainy weather. Living near Seattle on a windy hilly road...you stopped me from any more lust for this car..Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in Seattle buying a white one this weekend 😁
Peter von Panda back with another banger :)
Thanks, Hardip! I was looking for something a little different
Great video and explanation!!
This car is a Masterpiece 🔱, lot of people are gone wish they bought one and kept it for a long period of time, this Masterpiece is gone be one of a kind collectable classic pretty soon.
I also own a GranTurmiso Sport. Enjoyed the review. Check out our Bespoke Removable Front License Plate Action Camera Mount for the Maserati GranTurmiso, No Drilling! QR502.
Nice choice, RRP! Plate/camera mount? Fascinating!
Cool the front end upgrades are very nice!
Thanks, Ramon! I really wanted the front end upgrade too
2011 so the previous owner upgraded the front bumper to look 2nd gen?
Break peddle is also slightly too big makes it easier to hit in error.
Def will be looking into one. Seems fun
It's kind of weird that it's a lot of car for a fair price.
@@petervonpanda absolutely, 454 HP , V8 and Italian. Doesn't get much better then that for around 38k. I'm hoping to find one in like 6 months. Appreciate the video.
Are the early 4.2 cars to be avoided?
Mate i am just about to buy a 2009 GTS with low mileage, even though your car is a bit later you gave me some good tips....Thanks a lot cheers. BTW, I live in a city with many sports cars but there is no other car out there with the pure roar of this Maserati.
Thanks for making this informative and helpful review video
Hi from Western Australia. I am moving away from e92 M3 and want to go back to my Italian roots. Looking at a 4200 GT or a quatroporto 2008 ZF 6 speed. Or do I spend more and go to 2008 like you current ride. But 4.2 lt with ZF box. Appreciate your advice.
3:20 LMFAO "pretty BADASS"
I love that you have one and hate that I don't! Cheers
It’s available for joy rides
Did you know that Maseratis are one of the most often ticketed vehicles, Along with Alfa Romeos, VW Golf GTI, DODGE RAM and the Subaru WRX? Yep. I never got a ticket in mine, but my Fiat 500 Abarth? Yes.
You're thinking of a FIAT Dale. Fix it again tony.
For $1k you can order a set of the interior trim in real original Maserati carbon fiber so you can get rid of the wood..
I would love that, Francisco. But I’m cheap
Can you give me the web sight Francisco love to order the carbon fiber
Is it a car worth to have in 2023? I am quite confused, I own a 2012 mas GT (granturismo) of course wiht the f1 engine, however do newer Granturismo have ferrari engines? Is the mc stradale a better option than a gt now adays?
2011??? i thought this style front bumper didn't come out until 2013?
great review man. Well done
Much appreciated, Nedim!
The F1 is great, I have it in my Ferrari and love it. Wish more of these GTs had them, apparently it's only like 1 model year in America. In Europe the MC Stradale still had it as an option. Their MC Stradale is better than ours. 😣
From NYC. Grrrreat Review!!!
Thanks, Hal!
most beautiful used italian car under $100k
Mine 2016 does NOT stay in Sport mode once off....where is the setting?
Hey Peter I saw your gransport video and granturismo video. I’m thinking of getting a granturismo with the cambiacorsa f1 transmission. Which do you recommend the automatic or f1 since you’ve driven both transmissions.
Remove the badge, and nobody will ever notice it isn't a Ferrari California. This one is looking lovely !
Peter Great review.... by the way of the two which sounds better to you from exhaust note only?
The GranSport had the best sound particularly when driving and shifting
Thanks for your Honesty...
I have an alfa and that too has the sticky plastics. Seems to affect all fiat group cars. I am at the moment looking at maserati in the uk but im torn on which to go for its close but no1 is gransport for me followed by granturismo. Im thinking gransport being lighter would be more sporty. Also here gransports are starting to increase in value unlike granturismos. Love the exhaust sound of the 4.2-4.7 v8 maser, better than a lambo. Which is the better drivers car?
Affects all European cars because they are ALL made by the same Company. Porsche/ BMW/Audis are notorious for this...especially when they experience American sunshine.
What year is this car? I am not sure if you mention it, or if I just missed it.
That is why the automated manuals are preferable. You get all the Drama from upshifts and especially the downshifts !
This isn't an automated manual champ. It's an autotragic transmission. There is no DCT offered on this car.
Hey peter, do you hear rattle sound at idle after you start car?And goes away after you drive off?I have 2016 I just wonder if it happens all GT. I really didnt care for years but my warranty ending next year so just asking if i should take it to dealer for it. This is my one of 3 maseratis I had started since 2014. ghibli sq4, 2016 GT sport, 2018 quattroporte glan lusso(totaled), just love maserati sound, GT has best sound of all.
I'd have to check, but it's possible. I feel like a rattle on start might be the cam variators. I'm not sure if this model had an issue with them, but I know the Gransports had that issue.
Take it in to the dealer if under warranty. Could be the variators a known issue but usually on early model cars.
Love this video! I'm thinking about getting one, but worried about service and maintenance costs. How much would you say is an average oil change, brake change, and overall reliability?
The oil change is not cheap. I went to the dealership for the last service and it was $500. I'm sure you can find a cheaper place, and I've seen guys online do it themselves for under $200. I don't put a ton of miles on it.... only about 1000 miles/year at the moment, but will probably drive it more next year. So far though, it's been a champ!
@@petervonpanda Got it thanks! This is very helpful!
That’s reasonable especially considered that it’s the same service cost as a base Macan! Lol
I spilled a fizzy water on the ebrake. That was a grand. It is what it is
Haaaaaaaaaate black wheels...but I like the blacked out emblems. Nice color though. Im shopping aggressively for a White or Blue GT- S model.
Oh man you're going to love it!!!
It's beautiful 😍 👌👌
Thanks for this video
This went from a Product review Channel to
Doug demuro
More like Doug Demuro’s dog’s table scraps.
feel like their dated technology is done on purpose so years from now it gives the illusion they been around even though their gaps between their new models
2011? how many miles on it? i have a gibli and love it! and currently looking at a used 2014 garnd tourismo
About 9,000 miles
this is my dream car. to the tee
me too!
Can you get a 7'-6" fishing rod in the cabin area? Beautiful car 😍
Appreciate the review/info, would love to get one in the future
Great Material, thanks :)
My pleasure, Dan!
Is that an aftermarket front or stock? Looks post face-lift
Love that sound
Agree about brake & gas pedal on same plane is a flaw. I often press both pedals at same time when I intend to break (2014 M-GT).
Also...each time I put my seat bely on I dislocate my shoulder trying to reach the belt. Love my GT though.
Same issues with me. I’m not sure how the pedals didn’t get slightly different levels but I guess it’s a quirk to get used to
@@petervonpanda I recently did a paint correction on mine then added a ceramic coating...came out great given it was my first time. I have black with red interior. But I LOVE your blue GT!!
a poor mans Ferrari California, i like the blue however the dark red interior would be my choice and not the bright red. tan also looks incredible too. dark tan.
I see that you are in Illinois. I am in Chicagoland as well. How does the GT do in snowy weather here in Chicago? Is it dangerous to drive here during snow days?
I'm sure it is. I've never driven it in snow, but I have driven it in rain, and it sucks in rain. The back end fishtails all the time when the ground is wet. Taking turns with it in rain is hairy... like using those long off-ramps the car is squirrelly when wet.
@@petervonpanda thanks for the response. looks like i'll have to pass on the GT then...at least until I can afford a winter car + GT.
Now I know how you are able to buy multiple Autoflex shafts!
I consider it research!
The only thing I really (really) don’t like about your car is the black around the back, it looks like there’s a load of tape around the lights. EDIT 25:05
How do you find it compares to your previous Maserati Gransport?
Great question. There’s a lot different. The gransport skews more hard core sports car and this is more of a comfortable cruiser. It’s also much longer, maybe a foot. I think the gransport is more of an enthusiast drivers car and this is more comfort focused. Both are great. I wish I also had the gransport still.
@@petervonpanda thanks! Is your granturismo the 4.2 or 4.7? I think the 4.7 is closer to the Gransport in performance. Thanks for your thoughts!
It’s a 4.7
Yeah, nice video on the gransport. I also own one. I was surprised you sold it as it seemed like you didn’t have it for long. Afraid to sell mine cause I think it’ll be one I’d miss too much !
what year is this Maserati ?
I do miss the wide open areas in Illinois... where were you driving through? McHenry?
Yep, exactly! Johnsburg area!
@@petervonpanda I played against a little league team from out that way. Back then it was mostly farmland. (81-82-83)
4.2 liter 404 hp 4.7（09-10）424hp（11-12）434hp （12mc）444hp （13+）454hp
No 4.2L 399hp, 4.7 (09-12) 433hp.
Sold my C5 Vette. Now looking at a 2012 Maserati grandturismo MC with 70k miles for $36k. How reliable has yours been since the video?
Mine has been a solid champ. In terms of older cars, this one has been pretty hassle free.
Did you purchase yet? Deciding on either the 2009 granturismo $23k (70k miles) or a c6 corvette $26k (57k).
Simple. 4 seats VS 2. ..... 4 wins
what did you end up getting?
Great honest indepth ocd picky as hell review 👍. While Maserati, Aston Martin & Jaguar may look similar, build quality is night & day different. Cars built in Britland may be luxurious but they are utter 💩
4 drive train. Britland brands including Range Rover need engine or transmission replacement frequently during the life of ownership. Ferrari engines are race
breed & meant to be driven hard with
passion & authority. No stinking Aston, Jag or Rover winning F1.
Thanks!! I love the looks of British cars. Some are absolutely amazing!
What year is this?
This all sounds good , but it may look the business, and stunning performance, but not safe and confident to drive, as a Mercedes CLS 63, or s 63. There is a big difference with the Germans
Try a custom spacer made for the brake pedal to raise it. Problem solved!
Very nice.
Thanks!
And suddenly, at 17:46 mark, you have proven why your channel shouldn't be taken seriously for any reviews outside of family cars and minivans.
A flat pedal design is intended for sporty driving .. heel toe "shifting". While this is an autotragic it does allow for you to apply a small amount of break pressure while accellerating though a turn. This puts a small amount of clamping force on the front brakes to allow for a small amount of gravitational shift.. thay shift in weight helps you steer the car around the turn quicker and as you release the brake and apply more pressure to the gas the weight shifts to the rear wheels, helping you to laungh out of a turn even faster.
Calling an automatic with a padle shifter the best of both worlds also adds to the insantity thay someone would take you seriously. I hate all autoshifting cars, but of you want the best if both worlds it would be a dual clutch automatic transmission. These are a comouter, automagically shifted manual. Anything else is just a slush bix thay belongs in a luxury car or minivan.
The Mazza is 4 seater the SL500 is 2 seater
Is it expensive to maintain as a daily driver ?
Not at all, been daily driving mine for 4 years now. My BMW 535i has cost me a lot more...
@@tima.478 wow interesting
@@mark1542 Indeed! lol
well the taxable rate for registration will make you pay about $600 a year and your insurance will be higher and you have to use premium gas and oh by the way 12mpg so gas every other day? Also the tires last 10,000 miles apparently. The public bus is the cheapest daily driver I use.
@@infringinator in Texas you pay just once for taxable registration ... another reason to get out of California ;p
What a dude you would let me drive it😀
Sure, Andrew!
@@petervonpanda Great when in Uk you can drive my Alfa😀
Test drive like in death proof movie lol
learn to focus
Love the taillights, to bad the video is unfocused, car looks blurry 😞
You're right, Simon. I noticed that too after I shot it. It's because of my old camera, which I replaced after doing this video. Stinks that I filmed for 10 minutes not knowing how fuzzy everything looked.
@@petervonpanda you should make a new video of you talking 10% and the engine 100%
What a strange reason to change a car you like.
Badass car man this guy is very wealthy wtf.
No, cannabis is where the real money is at
You can buy this car or flush dollar bills down the toilet.The toilet is so much more fun.
Dude, I have a 08 GT 14k miles. What you love N hate shouldn't be about LE pulling you over? It should be about the vehicle!
You lend your Maserati to friends? Are you mad. It takes a week to learn how to drive the 4200 , or you will kill the clutch.
I feel like they're meant to be enjoyed!
That thing is sexy af 😍
I agree!
Chinese give rona
Lenn Ovo your are an idiot!
NERD ALERT
Beautiful beautiful car the problem is when you sit in these cars it feels like you're in the 1980s all the buttons are cheap plastic sticky and broken doesn't even have a backup camera doesn't even have Bluetooth doesn't have a heads up display doesn't even have a sunroof and the list goes on and on not to mention it's so slow. You're better off buying a Jaguar xfr the same year or more with 510 horsepower and all the luxury features that will blow you away drive both of them and I guarantee you pick the xfr
I don't know why they used that black plastic that gets sticky. It seems like it always goes bad and doesn't really add any value at the start anyway.
