3200 GT Coupe

 
 

 
 

   
 

   
 

   
 

The 3200GT utilises the 3.2 litre V8 first seen with the Shamal.  Whilst the specifications are similar, the end products are in fact quite different.  Apart from a significant increase in output, the 3200GT also boasts 'mixed-flow' turbines, F1 type 'Drive by Wire' integrated ignition/injection management, Bosch ASR Traction Control and of course ABS.  When coupled with the sophisticated electronic dampers in the suspension system, the Maserati is undoubtedly not only quick, but will also handle the 370 bhp well in the wet or dry.
