2018 GranTurismo

Not seen anything anywhere else about this yet? It's looking good in a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" way. Struggling to see too much difference

Lazy update.

Inside and out.

Still a gorgeous car.

Just hoping its got a ZF 8 speed. and 500 BHP.

Dont believe either the gearbox or engine has changed from early feedback.

Various feedback online also indicates no ceramic brakes, updated infotainment, very marginally changed front grill/front end.

This is just a facelift of the existing.

New GT is due end of 2018

Admire your optimism, not +2?

I like the revised look. Initial depreciation isn't great though with the fall from 90k to 60k in year one. For example 15 plate in mid 60k. Even with an initial discount that isn't pretty

After that they look pretty good value

No one pays list for the cars....

Front is not an improvement. The new family look isn't great there.

Not seen photos of the interior yet, but I'm hearing that's not cohesive either.

The old 6spd auto is actually quite a good gearbox in the "Sport" model and suits the car. The ratios aren't well chosen though which is what spoils it.

This will probably remain one of the best sounding cars in standard road trim ever made.

Interior looks OK. Not really any change and the changes that they have done look well integrated.

If the graphics are the same as the Ghibli I borrowed at service time then they'll be a bit...Janet and John. Not as slick as the Audis and Volvos I've used (though not as bad as the Mercs and Fords I've seen ).

I hope for Maserati's sake they have a new GT coming soon and this is a BandAid. The car needs to lose a few hundred kilos, probably gain 10%-20% in power and have much more cohesive electronics. I think the current GT is a classic in waiting.

Sure. But even if you got 10% off it will still cost 20k+ in year one.
Looking through my old emails I paid 94k for a 105k list car - ok that was a very high spec one
Not unique to Maserati of course but it's an expensive hobby!

It looks great and I am a Maserati fan but I found it felt a bit old fashioned to drive, and not very fast (64 plate sport mc auto thingy)

Obviously I am biased as I have an early one... but haven't they made it really fussy looking? The original that I have has simple sweeping clean lines, this is fiddly and busy. I don't think the colour helps, I think these look better in dark colours like black, grey and blue.
