Description
The Maserati 3200 GT was styled by Italdesign whose founder and head, Giorgetto Giugiaro, previously designed, amongst others, the Ghibli, Bora and Merak and so certainly had the pedigree behind him. Sold mainly in Europe, the 3200GT shared the twin-turbo 3.2 litre, V8 featured in the Quattroporte IV and Shamal, revised and tuned to 365bhp. The tail-lights consisted of LEDs arranged in the shape of a boomerang. The outer layer of the ‘boomerang’ provided the brake light, with the inner layer providing the directional indicator. Sadly, the US insisted on bulbs and so, as is so often the way, style made way for bureaucracy. Nevertheless, it went on to be a great success until 2007, when it was replaced by Maserati’s bigger and more elegant GranTurismo which saw the return of LED taillight clusters, this time meeting US regulations.
This Maserati 3200 GT is a very well preserved and maintained first series example, fitted with the more desirable boomerang headlights and the powerful and sporty 3.2 V8 twin turbo engine.
This well maintained example was acquired by the current Belgian owner after an inspection by the local Ferrari Maserati garage, which of course was positive. These modern Maseratis offer exceptional value for money in the current market, and we feel have a good future. A good example of a modern, fast, good looking classic GT.
