Maserati Granturismo 2008 (58) - V8 2dr Auto

Insurance Group 0, This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Brooklands Velocity; Mercedes-Benz World sale on Saturday 29th November. Sonorous Ferrari-derived V8. Relatively low-mileage. Good maintenance history. Introduced in 2007, the GranTurismo was designed to be Maseratis 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 Pininfarinas 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 youre after, then the GranTurismos 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
