Introduced in 2007, the GranTurismo was designed to be Maserati's flagship model, combining elegant styling with high performance and luxury. Rooted in Maserati's racing history, and tradition of building exceptional GT cars, the GranTurismo represented a significant milestone for the company in the 21st Century. Its sleek and muscular design, penned by Pininfarina, immediately attracted attention and garnered critical acclaim. At the time of its launch, the GranTurismo was the most quickly-developed production car in automotive history, taking a remarkable nine months from design to production!

With a Ferrari-derived 4.2 litre V8 under the bonnet, power is in no short supply, and Pininfarina's design is one that has stood the test of time. The ZF automatic gearbox enables supercar performance or refined grand touring, depending on the wishes of the driver. If handling is what you're after, then the GranTurismo's 49/51 weight distribution is yours for the taking.

Our vendor has owned this delightful example for two and a half years, but is now moving abroad, and needs to find a new home for his Maserati. In that time, he has taken excellent care of it, replacing the battery, headlining (which had begun to sag), and rear tyres. Mechanically, the car is sound; the gearbox operates as expected, and the V8 is just as evocative as any Italian-loving petrolhead would hope. Attractive in both aesthetic and estimate, this is your opportunity to scratch that supercar itch without breaking the bank. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
