Maserati twin-turbo GT 3200 – A sports coupe with style!
One of the first modern Maseratis, the GT 3200 was well-received since its launch in 1998. This stylish Italian sports coupe that comes with four seats was a game-changer in the sports car industry. Over two decades later, car enthusiasts still love this Italian beauty and are looking to invest in this young timer.
A new chapter Maserati is one of the most famous names in the Italian car industry, today. Back in the 90’s Maserati wasn’t doing so great. The Biturbo was becoming a bit boring and the company was hanging on with their old models. In the early 90’s the company almost liquidated. Five years after Fiat took over the company – the fabulous Maserati 3200GT was manufactured! So it’s not wrong to say that the Maserati GT3200 created a new chapter for the company giving it new hope.
Maserati 3200 GT and 4200GT For those who don’t know the Maserati 3200 GT and the 4200 GT look almost the same. Both coupes look the same but they are very different cars. The 3200GT comes with 3.2-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. The 3200 GT was manufactured in 1998 and was in the market till 2001. 4200 GT was the immediate successor. The 3200 GT has a boomerang style while the 4200 GT looks quite ordinary.
Performance If you compare the performance of the two cars above, both have similar outputs. The 3200GT is able to reach 60mph within five seconds with a manual transmission. The 3200GT can easily reach a speed of 170 mph, which may not be super fast but is sufficient for most buyers.
Issues One of the significant issues of the 3200GT is that the coupe is quite delicate. Certain vehicle components are sensitive and the model required detailed maintenance. The twin-turbo has a tendency to create problems with the engine’s electronics. When the car was launched it was one of the best units on the market however when the mileage increases the internal system tends to fail too. Make sure to pay attention to the car’s brakes, clutch, and suspension since they are expensive to replace. Production Till 2002 the 3200GT was produced in coupe style. There had been a little more than four thousand cars produced. After 2002, the 4200GT was introduced and Maserati launched the ‘Spyder’. The 4200GT proved to be even more popular with a production of more than thirteen thousand cars by 2007. Should you invest in a Maserati GT 3200? Absolutely yes!
