In this episode of Seen Through Glass, our host dives into the world of Italian exotics with a close look at the Maserati Gran Turismo. Surrounded by automotive royalty at the Octane Collection, including the likes of Singer 911 and Carrera GT, the Gran Turismo stands out with its Pininfarina design and Ferrari DNA. With a range of engine options, from the 4.2L V8 to the 4.7L V8 in the Gran Turismo Sport, this Italian stallion packs a punch that's closely linked to its iconic counterparts like the Ferrari California and Alpha Romeo 8C.
Taking the Gran Turismo out for a spin, our host experiences its luxurious yet somewhat lazy demeanor on the road. Despite its weight and size, the car's 450 horsepower engine manages to deliver a respectable performance, making it a comfortable cruiser rather than a dynamic sports car. Dubbed as the Italian Jaguar F-Type, this Maserati offers a blend of elegance, spaciousness, and a hint of Ferrari-inspired thrill, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a daily driver with emotional appeal.
However, as with any Italian exotic, the Gran Turismo comes with its set of maintenance challenges. From rust susceptibility to electronic gremlins, potential buyers are advised to conduct thorough inspections before making a purchase. While the Gran Turismo Sport version may offer a more engaging driving experience, the host suggests considering the MC Stradale variant for a taste of true Italian flair and performance. In a market filled with competitors like Mercedes AMG and Jaguar F-Type, the Gran Turismo's allure lies in its heritage, design, and the unmistakable charm of owning a piece of Italian automotive history.
