Beautiful family mate. I have a 2016 Gran Turismo (same engine and platform) and I love it. It is not uncommon to see Gen 5 QPs with over 130,000KMs on the odometer, all original parts (except the wearable items like belts). Look into the extended factory warranty at your local Maserati dealership as they recently started covering cars for up to 10 years or 150,000KMs (whichever comes first). Your QP may or may not qualify for the extended warranty from Maserati but never hurts to check. Cheers.

I was never brave enough to venture into the Italian car arena, looked at the Quattroporte, but stayed safe with the Germans. Just bought a 99 MB C43 to try and improve the driver education and maybe reignite some car interest with a cool car as she has struggled with the cool, but very large Panamera and is overwhelmed with my wife's manual VW GTI. Can't wait to see your future videos. Keep up the great the work!
