Ever wondered what a luxury/exotic 4th gen would look like?

I've been looking at Maserati GranTurismo pics for what seems like all day long, and man... it's incredible looking. Every single thing reminds me of a 4th gen Camaro, but so much better!

If this isn't inspiration for someone to do a radical custom job, I don't know what is...










This is what I really wish the 5th gen looked like...

...minus the crooked license plate! O_o

It does have a 4th gen feel, I agree with that.

Total 4th gen feel to it. It's actually a pretty sharp looking car. I'd drive one and probably feel right at home inside.

Yeah, me too. You can order one without woodgrain and get the pieces painted black, white, red, dark blue, or yellow. I was playing with the configurator all day long... (You have to say your location is the United Kingdom to get the painted interior accents option though.)

Johnny6-- Are you serious??? WOW. I'd go for the Maserati because of the exclusivity and the incredible beauty, but for $115,000?! It's just too rich for my blood...

... if I could get one used for $5,000 it'd be another story though!

Here's a few shots of the one I designed:





It gives me A LOT of cool ideas for a custom 4th gen I'll probably never find the time, talent, or money to create... I really like the color scheme.

He might not necessarily be talking about the Maserati Gran Turismo.

That car is in New Haven? How old is that picture, I wonder? I've never seen it around, that's for sure.

The car is brand new as far as I know, and I found it on ebay. You might check there for it. It's a new model for 2008.

MasterZ28-- I kind of agree with you, it does look similar to the Callaway C8! As much as I like the Callaway C8, I gotta say this does look a LOT better though.

Shock6906-- You're probably right. He's probably talking about a Quattroporte or a previous model. Either way, if I had the money, and I could afford to upkeep it, I'd definitely go with the Maserati even though it's much slower than the Z06. The gas mileage on them is always terrible though. I think the Gran Turismo gets 13/19.

Yeah, the Gran Turismo is way out of my price range. I'm looking into a Spyder Cambiocorsa, they are more into the 25k-35k price range
