Maserati Coupe

Normally-aspirated Ferrari-derived V8 replaces previous twin-turbo lump and some of the styling has been toned down. Revisions have been made to the drivetrain characteristics improving drivability, and the Cambiocorsa F1-type gearchange is now sufficiently developed to recommend. Expect Italian passion and brio rather than German efficiency and precision for this is a car with flaws. But the abundant character is more than capable of making up for them.

GT, SPORT, V8

A generously equipped machine with all the usual refinements. Skyhook is the adaptive suspension system which is worth specifying while Cambiocorsa is the clutchless gearchange system.
