Every drop of fuel going into that engine is a blessing of god.

Just the best sounding saloon car ever built, bar none.

Must admit, I have looked at the older gen ones of these for a while, the noise is just so epic 😍

Oof yes. The GTS with the updated ZF box, this has always been a dream car of mine. The noise, the looks...MEGA

When you said the window was open for the obvious reason I assumed the aircon was broken, until I heard the exhaust.

Fortunate to have had an opportunity to drive this on several occasions. Each time I'm in it its always radio & AC off, windows down and sport mode on. The sound of the engine is spectacular. Everyone you drive past they'll take a second look. Truly an automotive masterpiece!

Absolutely love these, they are so elegant and that engine is probably one of the best sounding V8s ever made. Gentleman and thug all in one.

I've never been sure about the whole asmr thing, but that exhaust note definitely gives me shivers up my spine.

Seeing this in my favourite film Untouchable and in the Top gear special made me fall in love. Been a dream car ever since...

I've owned my QPV GT S for almost 2 years, use it as a daily driver and have yet to encounter any meaningful or expensive issues. Get a pre-purchase inspection, go into ownership with your eyes open and take the plunge... don't be put off by the generic 'Oh it's Italian, run for the hills'. The aural experience is unrivalled, the practicality is amazing... and you'll unlikely see another on the road, only about 60 of these GT S editions found themselves in the UK. Automotive Perfection the GT S is most certainly not... but what this is, is Flawed Brilliance.

I've had a QP GTS and later a GranTurismo S. These cars were so brilliant, never had issues, fantastic sound, beautiful. And then Maserati released the new models...end of story.

I hav a 2009 Executive GT 4.7 since new. I take excellent care of it n 12years on it has 44,870 miles n i love driving it. My son is an engineer n drives a ancient Volvo but he loves his Volvo's no-nonsense personality. He asked for a drive in my Maserati last weekend…odd but ooook. We drive on the city roads then hit the local highway circling the mountains with superb straights n tricky twists. 40 minutes later, we were back in my driveway n my son said, “Can i hav this car when you’re done with it?” “Yes.” One of the happiest days of my life.

The acoustics of these is just 👌. Hearing the taps being opened, the sound flows and fills the cabin with a great fullness.

On that rare occasion I see a QP at the lights I switch off my radio, roll down the window and wait for the concerto. But yeah, electric cars will be great as well. 😭

Always liked these, those side vents behind the front wheels are lovely

The engine sound sells it for me. Nice car!

Great Video that does the car justice. I recently sold my own beloved Maserati Quattroport Sport GTS. It was a perfect family car and my daily driver. I miss it every day! But I didn't want to bring a RHD from the UK to my new home in Spain. Great memories. It's a car that everyone loves, you get waves and smiles as it is not 'flash' and can hear it coming from a mile away. You can cruise at 99mph at under 3000 rpm. It has plenty of rear legroom for 2 growing teenagers. You can also fit 4 carry on cases in the boot. I never had an issue in my ownership regarding reliability. I put on 10,000 miles in a year and loved every one of them! It does eat tyres though. I also had to replace all of the brake pads and discs which was a tad pricy, but that is wear and tear. The only people that resent it are the 'Daily Mail readers' who drive Audi's, BMW's and Benz's who would love one but rather than be pleased for you and your success they hate you with envy as they are no longer the most superior car on the road. If you can, buy one. Prices of Sport GTS' have been on the climb ever since the Harrys Garage review in Dec 2019 but £30-£35k for a super-saloon that is essentially a 4 door Ferrari.

What a magnificent noise that V8 makes! Always loved these things, seriously cool car. Another great video Jay 👍

I own one of these and Jayemms review is pretty spot on! Good videos

Bang, bang bang, bang. Whaf a great series of sports car reviews. Gotta say after just two minutes here, the view is fantastic. The Spring sunshine is superb. Hope to hear you have paid off all your bills in April! And that you have time to take out your own little bundle of joy occasionally. And give her some extra tender loving care.

Great to listen to someone confident enough to not be a fawning, car company bootlicker. Your willingness to drive anything and let the experience define your conclusion rather than trends is a welcome and much appreciated thing. Cheers from Australia

First 60 seconds, what a soundtrack. Well captured James

Great car. I bought a new GT in 2013, drove in for 4 years of trouble free miles, excluding a battery replacement.

Stereo typical Italian car; looks wonderful, sounds fabulous; everything else, oh well.

Brilliant car ! I’ve had a Quattroporte and 2 Granturis S’s. My current 2012 one has the same engine and gearbox as the GTS. On of the all time great engines

Start of the video, heavenly sound. I knew this was a video to sit and watch with a warm coffee

Enjoyed that, lovely looking car with great sound to, thanks J!

Much awaited review. Thank you James. Still remember the Top gear comparison between Panamera and Rapide. It is still super entertaining episode. Expecting a few other Italian sports sedans like Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 /1.7 turbo/ 156 2.5 or GTA

The styling has grown on me over the years, bit of a sleeper

The irony of the title. I own an e46 325ci and I'm looking to upgrade to this. You were dead on - I am certainly envious!

this video deserves a like all the time ! This sound is magical !!!

Great review, really conveys the experience superbly. Have you ever or will you be driving an Alfa Guilia Veloce 280 at any time James ? Thinking of getting one myself 🤔

This is the most beautiful sedan of all times! And the engine noise is marvelous!

I looked at these before buying a CLS63, but the lack of specialist dealers really put me off. Definitely a brave choice. Love the looks and noise of these QPs, just epic

Probably the most affordable, best sounding, most classy 4 door saloon out there. Hell, even then 2 door GranTurismo is sort of affordable, if you compare it to its rivals! Currently in the market for either the 4.7 equipped Maser 2 door or a well-driven 550.

Love your content bro honest opinion always

What a noise! I’ve owned three Maserati’s and had no issues with any of them. The Stradale made a noise unlike any other....

Nice presentation, thank you! I own a 4.2 litre Quattroporte Duo Select - not as as exclusive as the GTS, of course - but I love it. It is a pleasure to drive.

What a lively and lovely noise that engine makes!!

Was lucky enough to drive one of these back in the day. Lovely experience.

Good call. I had a 2005 4.2 with the duoselect. Always drove it in manual, but loved every mile

The hills are alive with the sound of music

Somehow I knew this video would come sooner or later.... and I’ve been looking forward to it

Best opening scene I've heard in years. Music to my ears.

Always loved these.

I feel like this is jayemms one garage car , summed up just right

Amazing design and amazing sound!

The surprise of hearing a sound that sweet coming from a car that ordinary (it's a saloon, after all) makes it all the more appealing.

Now that is a great sound from the tail pipes!.

One of best sounding V8’s around....would definitely shift too in some single seater type thing!

The best sounding V8 of all time, could've been the best engine overall if it wasn't for the LFA

I own an 08 GTS. Spectacular car. A bit pricey on maintenance but worth it.

What a fantastic noise, that exhaust makes.

Best looking saloon since the E39, incredible noise. However my heart has never been able to take over my head.

You are spot on as ever: I sold my 4.2 QPV for a F11 535d Touring - you can definitely feel the trade down from luxury to premium and from a £90k chassis to a £55k one - but sadly the Bellagio Touring QP was a one off and slightly out of my price bracket...

Best sounding v8 ever IMO my favourite 😍

I always say, this is the Ferrari that Ferrari forgot to make..

Beautiful cars they look even better now if you ask me. If I could have a few cars and only had to do a couple of thou a year in one of these I'd definitely consider it, not sure whether they'd be great to own. Maserati and Alfa (in my lifetime) at least seem to live off of their mid 20th century glory years and hadn't really made that many good cars since which is a shame

always wanted one absolutely love them

I'm in danger of listening to your voice more than my wife's. Just as well she wont read this and Richard Bentley isn't my real name. Great vids.

I would have one of these instead of one of its German rivals all day long! Mega cool 😎

Great intro. Let the car do the talking 🔥.

Worth it for the engine noise alone. Awesome 👍😎

VERY high on my list for my next weekend car :) I think these ma well be the sexiest and most desirable sedans ever made.

Stunning machines. Needs wood instead of carbon inside though and silver wheels and exhaust tips.

Great video.

Such a beautiful car! Current one just doesn’t match the previous gen!

Great review as usual ! Why don't you also review the Quattroporte sixth generation ? Soon going to lose its phenomenal V8...

The suspension in this one is way better than the old version. Just a brilliant and lovely car in that setup. It has its flaws, but as 2nd or 3rd car, it doesn`t matter today anymore. - If I would be in the market to get a classic, sporty fun Limo - I would take this one.

Best car reviewer out there.

Amazing engine note

Jay, we need a review of the cheapest possible motoring. Like a 1 4 d4d yaris, that would be interesting to me. How to run for the lowest possible cost per mile

I so want one of these!!

That engine note tho 😍

I had a 2009 model for 8 years from new. Absolutely superb car especially with the formula dynamics EMS chip. In the US it is very hard to find these.

Oh wow,that sounds so beautiful.

Once again, ace work on the audio.

Neighbour has an mc stradale,the noise it makes is amazing.

You're right I totally take this over an Audi or a BMW any day of the week as so much more character an exclusivity. The sound is Glorious, only downside is the rear and isn't quite a sexy as the other massers👍

The whole video should just be that noise! 😍

How is the GTS suspension compared to the Skyhook suspention of the GT on the later gen car with the 6 speed ZF?

I think the longer wheelbase of the QP V makes inspires more confidence in the handling than the 3200/4200 Coupes. They are barely heavier than a Gran Turismo too. For me I'd have the QP V over either of the Coupes

I have that car now for 4 years. Never had problems but I don't know if I should buy a Granturismo MC Stradale. I love both🙈😄

You guys should look into the Maserati coupe. Manual trans, v8, and decently attractive.

The GTS is the best sounding sedan. Ever.

“You don’t know where you are, but you probably don’t care” That sums up the Maserati, spot on...

Quattroporte was always a poster car for me growing up. I hope I'll pick up a cheap example one day. A friend of mine bought a part ex 535d off a used maserati specialist, and he said that the chassis on this was disappointing and that the gransport was a much better car. But that's not enough to put me off this gorgeous machine.

That's the model they had on top gear it looks amazing and makes a amazing sound and maintaining it costs an amazing amount no doubt

What a wonderful car and a wonderful and classy review. But I'll say it again, Jay. You need to get in shape, brother or you won't be able to get into cars you test drive. ;-)

I love mine. Can’t think of anything more recent I’d like to swap it with.

Give me a Maserati over any other marque . Classy, and they sound like nothing else.

I was joking when I said he would become the British Hoovie. So, when is this coming to your garage?

Always listed after one of these, seriously good looking cars that seat 4.... Way better looking and sounding than anything the Germans had at the time 2010. Just been having a look on Pistonheads and there are few V8's however, they are around and some with 500+ hp, tasty. Would have to sell my AM so maybe not but well worth a look I would have thought.

My absolute favourite 4 door car in the world. There’s a blue one for sale really close from where I live and I don’t know if I will buy it or not. I really want a black one but the blue is also nice. It has wood interior inserts and that the thing that’s stopping me from buying it.

I like the title and whenever a Brit reviews an Italian Car.

If I had the money it would be a new Maserati Ghibli for me, forget your BMW'S and Mercedes, another great video.

I recently bought and then promptly sold a 2009 GT Sport ZF. Amazing car and well maintained in general. Just the thought of servicing and upkeep nagged too much. You need a garage and two grand a year minimum. After owning an M2 and various VAG 2 litre turbos, in S mode it proper shifts.

When is the review of the MC Stradale coming?

A lovely car and really an awe inspiring sound. However, I've just seen the cars service history- whilst impeccable holy shit the prices for some of the maintenance work and service stuff. I've owned a 911 997 and a RS5 for many years and I thought German parts were expensive. wow

Is that the most perfect sounding V8 ever? I think so, what a machine
