1999 Maserati 3200 GT review from UK and Ireland
"Four seater racing car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust manifold cracked at 10,000 miles, replaced under warranty.
Rear suspension wishbone split. Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Before buying I was a bit worried about variable road test reports. The car is a bit unusual to drive, drive by wire throttle and a slight lag on the turbo followed by ferocious power at around 2400rpm. It takes about a week to get used to, but after that it is simply glorious to drive.
370hp and 362ft/lbs of torque coming in at low revs is a lot to handle, and I leave the traction control on except when on track.
This car is a true racing car on the track and a 4 seater Grand Tourer on the road. I combined both this year around Europe, a very memorable 3500 miles.
