Jan 03: Maserati 3200GT in depth!

[TT]

I don't have many more indepths in the pipeline.. actually only another one after this one, so I hope to organize some more shooting soon ;)

Anyway, this one was another cool car! komotar should like, I for sure did! Somebody will scream rice at the carbon roof and logo+airintake frame, btu IMO it's damn cool! And a masterpiece that logo!
It was an auto, so a bit weird and for sure it doesn't push like the Gransport (always talking about passenger rides just to be clear), but well, the engine is still cooler IMO: more carachter, thanks to the turbos of course. There is some lag, not terrible, but when the turbos kick in, it's bloody fun and fast! A bit tricky when you kick it down in a corner and it drops a gear, no power for a moment and then it unleashes it all.

The car is a great looking one, too bad we didn't have more time for the pics, I realize most of them are kinda similar :D

Anyway, enjoy! and you can find 29 high-res pics by clicking the previews!

I'm starting to appreciate these mods guys do more and more, its good to have something a little bit different/unique - as long as its not over the top. :D

Automatic? :? What was he thinking? Anyway its still a cool car and definately something I'd like to own while I work towards a Ferrari/Lambo. :)

Thanks for the pics, this is my fav:

I don't like it at all with that cf hood and all... It just looks like a riced up car... The original is sexy as hell though...

[Schwalbe]

It's always great to have this kind of photograph car review from you TT...I hope this tradition will continue throughout 2006 ! :D

Despite that I'm not a fan of the Maserati 3200GT I'm nevertheless conscious of the great tuning potential offer from a V8 biturbo engine. :wink:

[T-Bird]

I have to agree with you TT the Carbon looks amazing on that car not ricey at all. I have to say I'm not a fan of those tail lights though. And as always amazing pics!

BTW, this car is for sale at the local Maser garage, so it doesn't have an owner, we just got it for a testdrive.
And well, the clutch on the 3200 is a real bitch as far as they say, that's why MANY ppl bought picked the auto option

[5vz-fe]

Wow TT, I am starting to really appreciate your new camera.

As much as I like the cf logo, I am not a big fan of a unpainted cf hood on a car of that class. :|

[TT]

Oh yes BTW, this was the first real photoshooting I did with the 350D :D

[The Transporter]

Oh yes BTW, this was the first real photoshooting I did with the 350D :D

is it a good camera ? :)
Do you prefer your old one ?

[1zippo1]

Nice pics of the Maserati 3200GT. Still the best looking Maserati IMO!!

I do have my doubt about that black bonnet. I agree with you on the grille however, it's nice.

But an automatic Maserati ... that's just a damn shame IMO.

thx for the in dept feature!

Well the old Pro 1 was "compact" and easier to carry around, but the 350D is MUCH better, especially now that I finally got an IS lense ;)

[TransAm]

Well, I dont think the CF hood is rice, maybe it doesnt suit this class of car perhaps but it certainly makes it unique!

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your in-depth views on the Maser 8)

[Fleischmann]

It looks quite nice, with that two tonne colour scheeme, the carbon going well together with the silver paint. But modifying the badge seems a bit silly to me.
This is probably my favourite picture:

[Pehtren]

it looks nothing special from behind (bumerang lights rocks), but it looks very special in the front end, weird....not :P

the car is very cool, and the photos are too great, some very good ones in the SET

btw...is it standard 370HP engine or the engine has more of it :twisted:

thanks for this great indepth.....love it :D

[Shinigami]

How much is it for sale? About 60k chf?

[stmoritzer]

^ may I answer your question?
the car costs 78'000CHF , link (http://www.car4you.ch/ser_dea_hom.cfm?step=30&vehicleid=101863649&addressid=328058&country=ch&dealernavigation=sup&language=fr&localsearch=0&origid=&pagingpos=0&supplyonly=1&defaultlist=101826601,101854544,101679991,10173184 5,101863649,101632492,101594055,101840874,10184616 2,101800767) :)


Thanks TT for another indepth, this Maser is very cool IMO, well the red leather is not really my choice, but the outside is ok!

I like the pics infront of the factory building, the dela poste ones are great too 8) , this one is my fav:

:drool: Boomerang lights :drool:

I love the 3200 GT. Though I find the cf bonnet not really suited for the car without any other mods. It looks nice though, but the standard car or the cf bonnet with some other mods would have looked better! The red interior looks very stylish on the other hand.

Seems like your mastering the 350D really well, the pics look great. My favourite on is the detailed pic of the cf trident.

LOL, it's actually a school :D

[Dubai]

i like the rear end! Looks like chines eyes smiling :fadein: or crying!! :?:

[LotusGT1]

Great pics.

Don't dig the CF bonnet as it is a typical rice modification, and if you can't handle a sportscars clutch, don't buy one ;) A shame, such a car with automatic...

[TT]

Well, technically the bonnet also lower the center of gravity ;) yes, pathetic excuse, but it was the firt time I was close to a CF bonnet and it's just wicked how light it is compared to the normal one! That said, you can always paint it I guess :P

[Wutputt]

I was just wondering. Didn't you already spotted this car before with your regular streetsightings? Cause the car looked familiar to me, but I didn't know why. After some thinking I realised that I've seen it before on your site or in one of your post or at least that's what I can remember ;)

[TT]

Uhm, not really, these are the first pics I take of this car, maybe you are remembering the 4200GT with CF bonnet and GS wheels:

[No.1]

Nice shoot TT

I like the mods - it's quite tasteful, and the CF Trident is awesome 8)

In the link for the car for sale, it has GranSport wheels - a shame they were not on the car when you shot it TT :(

And your pics look great - its amazing how quickly you went from the Pro1 to a D-SLR without too many problems :good:

Aha, that was it! My brains were just a little bit messed up :D

[crayzayjay]

Nice pics, but i wish it didnt have that cf hood. It just doesnt fit the classy image of the car. Would love to own a 3200 GT :)
