best maserati cars

A true four seater and high-performance sports car rolled in to one, it is equipped with a V8 4.2 engine with 405 bhp at 7,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 460 Nm at 4,750 rpm, of which 75% is already achievable at 2,500 revs. Its maximum speed is 285 kph, and it accelerates from 0-100 in 5.2 seconds. Weight distribution is 49 per cent on the front, 51 per cent at the rear. The six speed gearbox is automatic with fully adaptive software which adjusts the gearchanges to the driving style and conditions.

The new model is 4,881 mm long with a wheel base of 2,942 mm. The standard wheel rim is 19” or 20” as an optional. Maserati claims that the interior dimensions guarantee all four occupants maximum comfort on short or long journeys.

The interior is divided longitudinally by the centre tunnel which almost distributes the available space between the passengers on the left and right sides. The dashboard lies horizontally and features right along its top a decorative “V” shaped element, the distinctive feature of the Maserati marque. By drawing attention to the top part of the dashboard this helps create that sporty feeling of sitting low in the cockpit.
