These will forever look beautiful. Looks like a tiger shark

[@leonardomoretti5958]

My favorite 😍 V8 sports car ! I don’t care what people think or say !

[@charlesclement383]

Most cars have a tick when when first started.That's why you're supposed let any vehicle warm up before you drive off,even in the summer.

I own a 2014 Maserati Granturismo Sport since last year and I agree, it is a good looking car, for me one of the most timeless designs ever. The sound is incredible even al low RPM. I like that very much. I cannot say very much about the tyres but it looks to me that they work fine. The PIRELLI P-ZERO are not very good at wet conditions especially if the tyres are older then 3 years. Like you, many people complain that the entertaiment system is outdated, which is logical, it goes back to 2007 ... For me it looks fine and I prefer an overall more analog design and not those ugly information overloaded displays one gets in actual cars today. All works fine, one can listen to radio, you may load music to the internal jukebox ( harddisc ) and the navigation system is pretty acurate, at least here in Germany. And you are right, even back in 2007 it is strange that one cannot connect devices like smartphones to the USB, only storage devices like USB sticks. Concerning the parts costs, one has to be aware that it is an exotic luxury car. Something that is very nasty are the "sticky buttons" which in my case is still very acceptable but the day will come in which one will have to repair that. Unfortunately that issue was very common in many european cars of that date. I had it also on my 2009 Mercedes Benz S-Class. Fortunately it only affected on a few buttons, but in the Maserati Granturismo Sport it affects practically everything ... Other then that, a great car !!!

I agree! I love the old analog gauges over the electronic gauges!

[@edwinmenor8338]

I daily drive my GT and I don't track it because it is not built for racing. It is a GT. So why would you need a Pirelli tire again? I use Lexani tires and I get from point A - B at speeds between 80-120MPH when I feel like it. No vibration no issues. Pirellis are overrated tires for a GT daily driver. waste of money cuz no one cares what the brand of the tires are.

Biggest gripe I had with mine was the massive wheel gap between the arches and the wheels. I’ve had 4x4s with a smaller space and mine was on 20s too. Never used the infotainment in the 2 years of ownership. Sport mode in and window down. Don’t need any other noise !

[@edwinmenor8338]

When I buy the oil filter from the Maserati dealer. The oil filter box has the prancing horse with Ferrari label on it. I'm not sure how you can say it is not a Ferrari engine when clearly the oil filter is Ferrari. It is a Ferrari engine built in Maranello and shipped from the Ferrari factory to Maserati when they were both one company.

[@Car.Nation]

Not saying it’s not a Ferrari engine. It’s a Ferrari derived engine. Uses a lot of things from Ferrari. The engine is called the F136 Y and Ferrari uses it, Maserati uses it, and even the Alfa Romeo 8C. if I remember correctly, could be wrong, but it uses the block from a Ferrari f430. When you look into it, it’s called the Ferrari/Maserati engine. Yes if you go to the Maserati dealer, like I have and get an oil filter, it does indeed have the ferrari logo and prancing horse. However, if you order some other things, they are all Maserati boxes. My valve cover (or cam covers) came in a Maserati box. My spark plugs came in an ngk box but with maserati logos on it. An amazing engine nonetheless

[@valis992000]

I think why people say it's not a Ferrari engine, even though it was made by Ferrari, is that the engines are not identical. The Ferrari verzion has a different crankshaft for one and I'm not sure what else. But if you needed to replace the engine in a Ferrari you could not drop the Maserati variant in it and say it was the same part. The Ferrari engine makes a little more power iirc.

Great video and cool car!

[@Car.Nation]

Thank you!

[@jefferyyounce5372]

He is dead on. My 08 GT started at 28k miles. Camshaft variator I was quoted 10k. Indy mechanic set the camber to an Audi 08. Lucky to have a X masi mechanic

[@normsallitt2753]

All of the F136 Ferrari/Maserati engines were built/produced in the Ferrari factory in Modena. Technically, it is, therefore, a Ferrari made engine. It was jointly developed by Ferrari and Maserati. The only major difference is that Ferrari used a flat plane crankshaft vs. Maserati's cross planed crankshaft.

[@Car.Nation]

Yes, that's what Ferrari derived engine means. This means it is a collaboration between the two brands.

[@normsallitt2753]

​@Car.Nation my comment wasn't made as a correction to your use of the term "derived", which I obviously know the meaning of, lol. It was simply made to better and more thoroughly inform anyone reading the comments about the F136 engine history. The F136 and the sounds it makes are worth the price of admission into these fabulous and gorgeous Pininfarina design cars, alone. I say this as a lifelong multi Porsche owner who just stepped out of his 911 twin turbo and into a 2017 14k mile Grigio granito/Cuoio Sport. I paid way too much 2years ago, but I found the exact factory spec that I would've ordered new, so I don't give a damn!🤙

[@fenwickc2274]

Do you have a video on how to fix the engine oil tick ?

[@flatD1]

The Engine is exactly and true a pure Ferrari Engine. It‘s called the F136Y, the same Engine as in the F430 and the California from Ferrari. With just one exception: the Crossplane crankshaft. That‘s the only difference. But the engine is build completely by Ferrari in Maranello. The Limitation to 7.200 rpm is a tribute to the ZF Automatic gearbox, which can not handle with higher revs.

2018 owner. With the car play and touchscreen the biggest complaint is resolved.

[@charlesclement383]

I have the same car,I don't have brake issues because pump my brake peddle to stop the car. Try that. Never just stomp on the brakes to stop any car. Always pump the brakes until the car comes to a complete stop. You'll also save on pads

[@ChicagoItalian]

Very nice video - I have the GranSport that is heavily modified…but yes, a lot of people do not understand these cars…they are built to cruise in the autobahn at very high speeds 170+180 easily…0-60 is 4.4-4.7 fast enough for me. This is a true classic and last of the V8s. You shouldn’t buy this car for the technology….you buy it for the pedigree, power and sound. This is one of the best Gran Touring cars out there….people hate because they know nothing about these cars. Visit Formula Dynamics as they have a lot of performance parts for our cars.

[@Car.Nation]

I’ll look into it! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@justinteal347]

This is an older model. What year is it? I have a 2019 and interior is upgraded. Especially infotainment system

[@Car.Nation]

It’s a 2013

[@charlesclement383]

I still gave on my original tires,no wear and tear.

[@charlesclement383]

I take any driveway side ways to avoid any damage and never damaged my front lip. After listening to you,you really don't have any problems. Any car that's so much fun to drive and sounds so F-ing good,I won't be complaining about shit. STOP IT AND DRIVE THE F-ING CAR ,OR BUY A TOYOTA.

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

You need a joint sir

[@charlesclement383]

I won't say this car is loud. Not even in Sport mode. Or with the windows down.

[@charlesclement383]

If you want cheap parts buy a corolla.
