I Bought A Third MASERATI! | My Latest 400 bhp ZF Quattroporte Daily Driver Reveal

Its that time again folks - time to reveal the latest member of the HSG collection! This is my third time owning a Maserati, and now that I've moved on from the excellent Golf R32, it begs the question of why? And why another Maserati of all things? Well, let's talk about it...

Apologies for the audio clipping near the end, this only showed up after rendering...

[@normsallitt2753]

Congratulations from one Maserati owner (2017 Granturismo) to another on an absolutely beautiful car! That color combination is beautiful. Be sure to drive it like you stole it and Cheers from across the pond 🤙

[@HSGAutomotive]

Nice one, cheers 🤘

[@pete3198]

Congrats on the purchase! There's something about these Quattroporte models that really do it for me. Just such a stunningly elegant car, combined with the gorgeous wood/leather interior, combined with that glorious engine note... It's the perfect example of that car you really do buy with your heart, and I imagine it's the type of thing that, one sold, you will forever think of fondly. I'm still very strongly considering one as a replacement for my Alfa 147 GTA (which I sold about a year ago).

[@HSGAutomotive]

Nice, and yeah they definitely are all about the personality and charisma, much like an Alfa. They are much closer to Alfa Romeo than they are to Ferrari or Lambo in that way

[@guidogos6031]

You clearly found the GT7 option for selling cars 🚗. One day I will find it also (don't tell, I want to find it for myself 😅) Enjoy your Maserati car. After seeing the Netflix documentary my appreciation has grown.

[@VLG105]

"I don't really want to use anything I don't want to break" That is gold. Best advice if you are running an old Italian car.

[@HSGAutomotive]

😂👌

[@n0zemvlegelsma839]

Wonderful car. Got the larini valved boxes on mine. Absolutely sings! MC stradale levels, but more raspy. Couldn’t be happier.

[@nekite1]

Ever since I saw on of these on a forecourt in a village garage in the New Forest back in 2008, I have lusted after one of these.

[@HSGAutomotive]

Yeah definitely one of the prettiest shapes on the road

[@Cavallino69]

I just bought a 2010 Sport GT...had no plans to buy a car but couldn't resist this one. Making a few mods and it will be my daily. Love the spec of yours!

[@HSGAutomotive]

Cheers, and yeah they make for just about the most useful exotic as a daily, at least for the price point being about a 1/3 of an Aston Rapide or Panamera GTS

[@lonerangermotoring]

Such a beautiful car my friend I look forward to seeing more videos on the channel of it

[@HSGAutomotive]

Thanks dude 🤙

[@powerplant.]

I'm really new to the channel so didn't even know this was part of your repertoire. Sexy vehicle and a sterling beard sir!

[@HSGAutomotive]

Cheers, haha

[@saleh-dt3qj]

Alright buddy i was watching you for GT7 videos but now you've convinced me to sell my Abarth 595 and get a Maserati quattroporte

[@HSGAutomotive]

Go for it, lol

[@TP-3000]

Love the colour. I have a 2012 S in nettuno blue

[@kaspar_1982]

my favorite color combo for maserati, silver or blue with the dark red interior followed by burgundy or blue with saddle. i don't even understand common colors for maserati. in the states that is, i'm unsure what you can get in the old world. i believe the naturally aspirated v8 gran turismo will continue to fall in price and be destroyed and defiled by young men, however those that survive this rape in the S variant and in the colors above, in immaculate 1 or 2 owner condition will in the not too distant future be very valuable and very rare indeed.

[@misterbridger]

I'm looking forward to an exhaust swap video. I have the same model (2009 4.2 ZF facelift) and don't consider the exhaust to be particularly quiet, but hopefully there is an option that doesn't result in a motorway drone.

[@brendawg8002]

Utterly stunning colour combo - suits the car beautifully! Noted re the auto being superior to the duoselect... but there is a purity to them (transaxle, essentially manual) that's very appealing.

[@HSGAutomotive]

Thanks, it wouldn’t have been a spec I’d set out to find, but I do love it

[@Punisher9419]

Mad man. Beautiful car, makes me feel jealous even though I have an XKR.

[@HSGAutomotive]

I would recommend to anyone, regardless of if they like the brand or ever plan on buying one, to test drive a Quattroporte. They basically are Italy's Jag to the Aston that Ferrari represents. They're more delicate than a brawler Jag to live with, but are just works of art to drive

[@Punisher9419]

@@HSGAutomotive When I was looking at a nice car it was either the XKR or the Maserati but in the end I went with the XKR X100. I don't think I made a mistake I just think it would be nice to have both on the driveway although I don't think my wallet could handle that.

[@astront917]

Looking at these after selling my 6.2 v8 c63 after 12months of ownership Gone back to a trusty vw transporter but need some fun too ! Great video and you swap your cars like i swap socks

[@HSGAutomotive]

I do indeed, lol. Averaged 3 vehicles a year over the past 4 years. Don't regret moving on from any of them though tbh, got what I wanted out of the experience. Plus its a lot easier to sell on a car when its still great than running it into the ground of course

[@astront917]

@@HSGAutomotive good for you 👍 gotta enjoy life , greetings from sunny Northamptonshire 😬

[@MuscleCarLover]

When I saw "Maserati", the only question I had was colour. I did prefer the blue, but this is still nice. My dream Maserati I've never seen without a CambioCorsa sadly, so if I'm ever lucky enough to get a Coupe or GranSport, it'll probably always live in manual mode. I'm intrigued for a possible before and after for both the exhaust on the Quattroporte and the EFI swap for Abe, I love how those Snipers still look carbed

[@HSGAutomotive]

Yeah I’ll have to try and get some ‘last days of the carb’ POV in ‘Abe 😂👌

[@c0mputri]

its getting like the meme i need a daily car for my daily for my other daily for my other other daily......apart that love your videos keep up the good work and the amazing content

[@sradical8136]

Love the qp5 had a sport gt. It is special for sure. Currently have a qp6 and levante and had a few ghiblis. I think the qp5 is the most unique of the bunch. Nice spec as well!

[@HSGAutomotive]

Nice, and cheers!

[@FROOB202]

Stunning car, I think I saw a green one for sale, not sure if it was this one though.

[@_captain_underpants]

I must admit I've been looking at these too, currently running a late 06 XK but the xtra seats would be handy. Only thing puts me off is I know the jlr products and can work on them myself. Diag software is easily available and owners share info on forums etc but I dont think Maserati is as well catered for so any problems could mean expensive trips to specialists.

[@HSGAutomotive]

Specialists are more expensive for sure, but it depends on what breaks. Most things on a ZF Maser to go tend to be electrical rather than mechanical. Window motors, electric sun visors, TPMS etc. They are definitely more delicate and need more care paid to servicing etc, but after having a 2007 XKR myself, versus 3 Quattroporte's now, I definitely prefer how the Maserati makes you feel. The Jag is cheaper, and more safe. But the QP is literally a four door Ferrari, and for the money I think they're great, as long as you get one with the lowest miles you can find, least owners and most history

[@johnkershaw8845]

I have just bought a 2009 4.7s and want to love it..but I think I may have actuator problems. There’s a brief rattle on start up which goes after a few seconds. Engine is a bit ticky until warm then settles. After reviving there is a ‘chatter’ around 1500 revs before resting at idle. Ticky again under acceleration. Is it doomed? I don’t think the VIN is after the new actuators we’re fitted. It does have full Maserati history. The last 4 at a specialist.

[@antonio11217]

Bellissima auto il video e molto interessante molto bene 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nikifalcon]

Didn't we get this video 2 years ago?

[@nicholaswoodward8191]

So imo you made the right choice I think the quattroporte has a menacing understated look that shades the GT. Great car!

[@Keeasha777]

You look very handsome. And that car is so cool. I think it's the best car you ever owned. 🙃

[@HSGAutomotive]

hah, thanks b xD

[@Keeasha777]

@@HSGAutomotive I'd like to state for the record that I was being sarcastic

[@JK-js2td]

Well im on the otherside...im not a modern Maserati fan...especially the Quatrroporte. Correct me if im wrong, doesnt it use Chrysler parts? Its cheap for a reason. I havent driven one...but i rode in one...power is decent and sound is great but the handling is abysmal. A friend of mine borrowed one and brought it to the Tail of the Dragon here in the states...318 curved in 11 miles...and i was in my MINI Cooper GP (first gen) and he was left in the dust in the first couple of turns. But hey enjoy ur new to you Maserati...id go with a Jag or Aston Martin if i were you. CHEERS!

[@HSGAutomotive]

There are zero Chrysler parts in this. And the one you were in was clearly newer if the handling was bad, because any Quattroporte V is one of the best handling cars around.

[@JK-js2td]

@@HSGAutomotive ok cool.. Well enjoy!

[@CWGMark]

Does these FL 4.2 ZF have the same TCU tune as S or Sport GT S? Does it revmatch when downshifting?

[@jameskyriacou7079]

Fckn hell thats a daily? Lovely car BEAST.

Also would the jaguar manual swaps work as the zf boxes on those sap anywhere from 30 to 70 hp?

Feasibly I guess

Can’t wait for the muffler delete video!

[@andybroer651]

Hi HSG, 1 minute in you have confused me. I own 2 Maserati GranTurismos a Sport and Grand Cabrio and your comment on the handling and weight distribution for the ZF transmission cars are all 49%F and 51%R for the Quattroporte (which they are all based on) as well as the GrandTurismo Sport twins. Same platform as well. So, what are you talking about???

[@HSGAutomotive]

Yeah I just remembered wrong on that one 😄 I recalled the GT being a more conventional front biased weight from the shorter wheelbase. That longer wheelbase is more likely what makes the QP handling more unique, because it’s more exaggerated

[@andybroer651]

@@HSGAutomotive Thanks for commenting on that issue. They all drive similarly as they are based on the same chassis and the ZF is the way to go!

[@platinumkenpachi5923]

Fun fact this car is the only car in the world to be a aphrodisiac

[@HSGAutomotive]

Based on my last one, can confirm, lol xD

[@platinumkenpachi5923]

@@HSGAutomotive ❤️shits crazy

[@checker3694]

I researched quattroporte to a death and chose the Duo select simply because I wanted a ferrari powered engine with a clutch. Same with my XJR had to be Auto not manual. Don't buy these cars if you are not mechanically competent, ok if you have deep pockets, very reliable if you buy the right one. The Zf 6 only works on torquey engines, this is not, ZF 8 would be perfect on this car.

[@KrikkitWarlord]

11 minutes of QP and no exhaust/startup noise... Disappoint.

[@HSGAutomotive]

Already did that in my previous QP vids

[@Driff97]

9:02 Garbage. Useless. Throw it in the trash.
