Bought in 2016 to satisfy an itch since the Maserati 3200 GT’s 1998 launch, I love its Giugiaro styling, blending the elegance of the marque’s 1960s grand tourers but with a fresh, contemporary twist. The LED boomerang rear lights – the first LEDs on a production car – are particularly cool.
Its 3.2-litre, twin-turbo engine delivers breathtaking performance; 4.9 secs to 60mph and 175mph max, accompanied by a V8 growl and hiss of turbo dump valves. All this and an interior with sybaritic swathes of tan leather.
It’s a fun and involving sporting grand tourer, swift and comfortable on the autoroute while exhilarating on twisty roads, and has given many memorable European tours.
There is even decent room for two adults in the back. The Maserati 3200 GT is also relatively rare, with around 180 on the road in the UK.
