The biggest reason i started watching this channel about 3 years ago was for these old vs new comparison videos. So nice to see a new one!!! It's been a while

The sound of the V8 Maserati should be recorded and sent to space as a sample of peak human achievement

Ok I’m pissed with this…. How do people have such money for super cars… I don’t even have money for a Toyota 😣😣

Man I cannot believe that old one is from 08' What a timeless design imo

Price for the new one is absolutely insane

No wonder designers couldn’t really change the design. Outgoing Granturismo is a timeless masterpiece, Jason Castriota absolutely nailed it.

The only issues I have had in over 2 years of owning my 2012 Maserati GranTurismo S with the even better 4.7L engine is the air conditioning and rough running and warning lights on the dash. The A/C compressor went out and was sorted for about $1,100 with an independent A/C shop that does work on high end cars and the other issue was fixed with the installation of a new $300 battery. The TPMS light is always on but the previous owner fixed it and it still broke. It can’t recalibrate and so the light stays on even though the system gives accurate pressure readings. I have just learned to live with it. I also have the sticky buttons which also happens to Ferraris as well. But none of that matters when you put it in Sports mode and let her rip. The noises she makes are GLORIOUS!!

I've always loved Maseratis and Aston Martin's. Both two of the most beautiful cars ever built

I have missed these! Holy crap over 300k though and seeing how these depreciate like hitting a brick wall is PAINFUL.

It is astonishing how beautiful the old granturismo is this many years later

Looking at the thumbnail I didn't knew which one was the new one. Honestly, the "old" one looks astonishingly beautiful.

Had a GranTurismo for 3 years. Absolutely nothing failed or went wrong. Had it serviced as per the schedule no issues. Drove it across Europe as a perfect GT car. The car was bullet proof and a joy to own

So I bought a 2009 gran turismo last year. Put about 4K miles on it. Has been a great experience. I think you have to have the right attitude about “maintaining it” and what you will be willing to fix and what you can ignore/live with- but if you can do that you are rewarded with an absolutely incredible car experience for less than the price of a base 4 cylinder mustang. Yes- it really does put a huge smile on your face everytime you grab the keys for any reason, and at least a grin everytime you walk by it in the garage. Thats worth a lot.

They've completely lost the plot with that pricing, Christ.

I would love to see this comparison with the last V8 GranTurismo from 2018. Over the years those cars went through numerous technical updates and facelifts and I bet that kind of comparison with the new V6 GranTurismo would be more fair.

Literally a few days before this video was released I was searching everywhere for a comparison between the two cars...........thank you very much❤❤❤

I actually prefer the front air intake grill as well as the headlights in the older version. Much more sleek and aggressive look.

I have a sneaky suspicion that they’re not going to sell very many of them at this price point. It’s truly a beautiful car but no one is going to pay $300K for it.

This channel feels like 1990s Top Gear. Needell, Butler-Henderson, Clarkson. Subscribed.

We have an early always loved and Maserati dealer maintained GT. The few issues the car has had are of little note 50,000 miles on. Servicing isn't cheap but the car always makes us smile . Every day someone says " Bella Macchina". It's 15 years old and in another 15 years it will be as spectacular to see and hear on the street as it is today or was when new. By the way , super cool video.

I had a Trofeo once...it was a 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, but it was indeed a Trofeo lol

next to clarkson, hammond and may, these two are the greatest automotive journalists i have ever watched, in my opinion. everything about this channel, is phenomenal. thank you for the content.

I was out in Nobleton servicing someone’s Furnace and AC and drove passed you in these beauties. Was looking forward to checking out the video!

Keep the new vs old going!! These series really made me want to share to everyone! 🎉

The older one is still a lot prettier. It's just so sleek and aggressive looking.

One of the best parts about TH is they never ask you to subscribe constantly or talk about algorithms or the youtube crap. They just produced amazing videos and let people decide for themselves.

Best car reviwe channel most charming duo on youtube no stupid arrogance and very entertaining GREAT JOB guys!

Best intro ever, loved it guys!

The Ferrari diagnosis and fix line was gold😂😂

Bringing back memories :) I remember 15-17 years ago when I went to the Frankfurt auto show together with my brother. In the evening we went for a walk in the city. It was very quiet in the neighborhood and we wanted to cross one street. But there was this engine sound of a car coming fast, or perhaps a harley. We kept on waiting for couple of seconds, the sound was getting louder and louder but still no car to be seen. Then came this beautiful GranTurismo. The driver wasn't even speeding but the car sounded like thunder. I bit if Simon & Garfunkel would've been there then "the sound of silence" would have called "the sound of GranTurismo"

You guys ROCK. One of the best intros yet!

Bravo! Brilliant and engaging episode - not like there’s many a dull moment in any of your vids. How many miles on that 2008 example?

Later generations of the old Granturismo get the better 4.7 L V8 and a way way better gearbox/trans setup + alot of the faults the early gens had were fixed as well. I wish the new Granturismo had the 4.7 from the pervious gen but even more refined.

Here in AZ, Maserati’s are everywhere. It’s honestly the most irresponsible, best sounding trend in the valley.

I am lucky to have a GT cabrio with 4,7l engine already 13 years old and, surprise surprise, it's absolutely reliable and very cheap to maintain. All you need is a good, competent service, outside official network, and the cost of maintaining Maserati in a perfect shape is below the cost of diesel S-Klasse or Volvo XC 90 that I also happen to own. You guys did a great job, but you got a creepy wreck for the test, no wonder you disliked it;) In Europe these cars are more and more expensive now, as it is the last V8 and the last Maserati's V8 cabrio. I just love that car and the heavenly, gorgeous, outstanding, splendid noise it produces!

Love the honesty!

My wife(then girlfriend), who couldn't give a flying f@#$ about cars, heard a Gran Turismo v8 pull away from a stoplight near millennium park in Chicago while we were walking along the street and she all the sudden went weak in the knees and clutched her chest and asked me breathlessly, "What car was that?!". THAT'S the power of a Maserati. I will never forget that moment.

As a owner of a 08 4.2l maserati GT I have to say the car is very good for the price. Mine is actually very reliable and nothing is broken yet.... If you are in the market for one, try get one with low mileage and not an ex-rental

top notch video editing!👍

this is my first time coming across your videos, i must say, what a masterpiece af a video. this is the high end of youtube

That engine sound is just perfect. It has rumble and intention to it like nothing else. Yes, I have hushed my wife AND my child when one has driven by. It really is special.

I'd like to see an old Maserati GT vs an old Jaguar F-Type V8 comparison video. They're so close price-wise in the used market. And they're both all about that sound.

Great review men!!!!!!!!!!!!🥶Cheers!🍺

Man, you guys are just the best.

I have had a 2013 Granturismo for 7 years. It’s literally never broken down or left me stranded ever. Its been daily driven since I’ve had it, and it has 110k miles on it now. Never needed anything done except tires and oil change. Get a 2013+ and it gets rid of the cam issues the early one had.

As the design hasn't aged so much, you're better off fixing & modding the old V8.

Superb guys, very well put together story.

I drove a beautiful Maserati MC Stradale for 5 years and to be fair, NEVER had a issue with it. Normal Maintenance. I didn't WISH for a female passenger in the seat like you two yammered about and couldn't finish your sentence. I enjoyed it for what it was. A glorious symphony of V8 goodness that my passengers exclaimed, "Damn, it feels like zero to 60 is an EVENT." Enough said....

The 4.7 sounds even more epic

That transition from stationary to roaring Maserati was just sublime

This episode was legendary man, I really appreciated this one gentlemen

Best intro on a Car YT Vid ever! Made my day & I feel you :D :D :D

Watching Thomas drive around that old Maserati and it cuts to the speedo with every single light on the display was instant comedy.

Thank you guys for this inspiring test. I‘m owning the old GranTurismo but the latest iteration from 2018. With the 4.7 Litre V8 with 460BHP and the much quicker ZF 6 Speed Gearbox (it hits you in the Neck in Sportmode above 5000 RPM), with the much quicker Steering, with Skyhook Dampers (soft or stiff), with the Sportseats, Rearview Camera and, last but not least, the Touchscreen Nav with Apple Carplay. This Car, for what as it was new, i’ve payed "just" 120.000 €, is the much better Competitor to the new one. And with that in Mind, the new GT for just double the Price, i can not go with the newer. Never Mind, what the 0-60 time of the new GT is. It simply doesn‘t matter, if you hear the V8 screaming. I‘ve driven it for 150.000km and never had a big issue. Just small ones like a Parkingsensor not working.

Love the styling of the old and new. 👌🏾

Both you guys rock! excellent review and as an owner of a sexy 2014 Red Maserati GT MC, I must say this - there is no looking back from that V8 sound and the classy looks. My license plate does read "Flawed" which it is...BUT....I smile everytime I drive the old V8 MC! There's nothing like it.....NOTHING!

In my youth I was sucked into the Maserati vortex buy helping restore a 3500GT. The Maserati is quite simply a work of art. it speaks to your soul. it may be cranky, expensive, but it's not unreliable. If you are brave enough to actually own one you will never regret, it.

That has to be one of the top 5 V8 engine notes ever created

throttle house is side by side with top gear in my book. absolutely amazing content

Loved the video, where did you get the tiny chairs in the beginning? Looking for chairs that fit in my Miata trunk.

I bought a GranTurismo 5 months ago and I LOVE IT! Amazing car. Especially when in Sport Mode! You can get one with less than 50k miles and great shape for under $40k US.

I bought a 2011 Maserati GranTurismo S this year. $40K with 28K miles...convertible! Incredible sound and looks! A true head turner. Blue with tan interior. I love it better than my old 1984 Ferrari 308GTS. I don't think Maserati will sell a lot of new ones at $300K + so, there may not be a lot of $30K ones in 5 years.

@Thomas: I was wondering for a While now wich Watch you often wear. Is it by any Chance a Omega Professional Moonwatch? Looks really cool!

I love how u guys tell us the biggest problems with the cars and how expensive it is to fix

The original GT was succeeded by the GTS. From around 2013 onwards, there was then the face lifted version also (GT Sport), and these generally don't have the variator issues that the older 4.2 version had. Then there was a third face lift model with updated infotainment, reversing camera etc. There were other cosmetic packages you could get (MC Sportline) on these, and of course there was the hardcore MC Stradale (the only one really that hasn't suffered the extreme depreciation the others have - although, still depreciated). I own the GT Sport version with the 4.7L and the facelift. It's fantastic. My God it's slow - it handles like a bus, I get smoked by almost any other even slightly 'sporty' car, and well, you can guess the maintenance costs I'm sure. But these older cars are future classics. They may never (and probably won't ever) appreciate in financial value - but the aesthetic value (both visual and sonic) is the epitome of beauty. Whilst the rear end does look dated, the front end, with the long bonnet covering the V8 which is placed just behind the front axel looks stunning. And the sound - well - the truth is that that is the be all and end all of this car - I can't think of another V8 that comes close (sorry Jaguar f-type fans!) I think I'd only be disappointed if a v10 LFA pulled up alongside - and, well, the likelihood of that happening is near-on zero! When you drive somewhere in this car, every time, without fail, its an experience. You'll hold your breath a touch, waiting for the next maintenance light, but once you've mentally hurdled that, this touring car is a dream to drive. It's a Maserati! It's history says it all. Fantastic video guys!

I wish you grabbed the 4.7l GT - it's twice the car without some of the big problems you mentioned, particularly the models after 2011! Still love that car and the sound it makes.

My dad used to own the final brand new 2019 Maserati grand Turismo sport sold in Singapore. A fully specced GTS with a bright red interior and pearlescent black exterior. He sold it recently to get a DBX.

Drove the older model. It's not fast, but it's so fun to drive because of the v8 sound it has.

Nobody else could have made this video. Like, with that feeling. It has been the case for a while, but this video is so past the point where, you are no longer "just another review channel", you guys are you own thing. This was so much "a Throttle House video", and the fact that "a Throttle House video" now means something so specific, just speaks to how far you've come. This is imo the best praise that can be given. You have a unique feel and we're all here for it!!

Had the 2014 GT MC for 5 years, not a single issue. I don't think these will depreciate like the previous version.

You guys hit all the subtle points that only Maserati fans understand - great work

I had an opportunity to sit in a Maserati a few years back. The thing that struck me most was how ordinary the interior was. From the controls to touch surfaces, none of it was all that different from my own vehicle. I guess I expected more custom parts, to be amazing by how everything felt and worked. Instead, it felt like any other car.

The older GT looks so much better in the front fascia than the new gen. It's so much more aggressive and quick-looking.

I’ve got a 2018 GT, I actually prefer this facelift versus the original and the facelift before it. However, it’s probably the biggest head turner of a car I’ve owned and people hear it before they see it. Love the sound! I’m not entirely sure on the trident on the front of the new one looks wise as it looks like a sticker. So for looks and sound id stay put as it has (temperamental) car play… plus the fact I don’t have an extra £100k lying around (based in the UK) - great video, think you hit the nail on the head of Maserati ownership

As an owner of a Maserati QP 2008 Sport GTS, I can say preparation is everything. I put money aside for its yearly repairs, and have always been prepared for the worst (I charge the batteries, make sure the tires are on the right pressure, don't kick it when its cold etc.), but so far have been very surprised by how little maintenance was required. The tire pressure sensors go out, thats a given on all these old maserati's, don't bother replacing them. Brakes etc. are expensive, just like any other sports car. Besides that, solid as a rock, now going over 100.000km, and I haven't paid much more on maintenance than on my BMW 3 series (X5 is actually more expensive!). The feeling however I get when driving it, and just looking at it, is very different than any other car I've owned.

Excellent video, You guys should fly to Europe and do a 2020 Alpine A110 vs 1970 Alpine A110. That would make for an awesome video somewhere in France, I think you guys are going to love the Alpine A110. Maybe do some more foreign sports cars like a nice Renault Clio 3 RS CUP and a Renault Clio 2 RS 182. And the all populair Nordschleife conquering Megane 3 RS CUP. Would be fun!

I loved my 11 GT-S. The stock exhaust was magnificent and positive reaction everywhere I went. Sad they lost the V8 for the new model but glad they retained the beautiful design.

I really like the new Maserati steering wheel. It looks fantastic! Very reminiscent of BMW's older M-Wheel, but with Ferrari-style knobs and Neptune's Trident in the middle. Despite all Maserati's issues and massively over-priced nature, they still have the best logo and font in the auto industry.

You forgot the miracle of the GranTurismo (both the old gen and this one): it's actually a real four seater, it can actually fit four adults. Not a 2+2, but a sleek, classy, beautiful, magnificent coupe, that you can fit a whole family in. Incredible!

this was one of the most entertaining car vids I've seen recently, thanks for the laugh!

Have a 2009 GT S (28k miles). I love finding Maserati bashing videos (not that you guys technically did that) and often find it hilarious how much of a bad rap these cars get for being "old" or falling apart or so expensive to operate. Maseratis, like marriages, give you back what you put into them. ;) Love your videos. Keep it up. (I would also for CERTAIN go for MC20 over Trofeo haha). You guys gave me a good idea, should go find a Vantage V12 this upcoming spring.

I’ve had my 2013 for 4 years and the sound of that v8 is just intoxicating. It’s a weekend car for me but I’ve only had to replace the fuel pump and regular maintenance, would love to get an MC20 when they depreciate 😅

When I was a teenager, wandering through auto shows, Maserati stood out to me as just worlds above everything else in the interior. They were covered in beautiful leather with fancy stitching that nothing else could hold a candle to. They were sister cars to Ferraris but with all the focus put on luxury. Here we are, a few decades later, and I still think of those cars when I sit in a Porsche or other car that's gone the extra mile with the interior and am thankful that, in my mind's world at least, Maserati set the stage for what we should expect there and the rest of the automotive world finally caught up. I look around and thing "Oh man... this is Maserati levels of beautiful!" Of course, they're no longer sisters to Ferraris... and their interiors aren't a big step ahead of everyone else... so I don't really know what draws people to them anymore... but they'll always have a special place in my heart for what they used to be.

I love how much fun you both have while making the videos. I appreciate the honesty as well

Great review/comparison. Absolutely stunning machines. Thanks for the video.

Hey guys, please do a drag race/comparison review between the 2024 TLX Type S, 2023 Toyota Crown Platinum, and the 2023 Kia Stinger G2 (AWD). I think this would be very interesting to see!

I had 3 Quattroporte, two 4.2 (Duo Select and a ZF) and a 4.7s with Larini exhaust… what a dream!!! I regret everyday the day I sold it!!! But yes, I had to spend 6k to fix sticky buttons, and some other minor issues and sold it. Sticky buttons were a problem in all 3 of them, if only there was a good solution!!! Because they are the best car I ever had in terms of pure connection

Always loved the design of the 1st gen Granturismo. Will go down in history as one of the great designs in auto history in my opinion, like the FD RX-7 or C2/ early C3 Corvettes :)

The old one sounds like a today LC500, except, the LC even sounds better and doesn’t destroy itself.

I have GranCabrio and it is literally the best car for fun driving if it's taken care of. Frequent oil changes is the key. The biggest issue is the suspension, since I am based in Prague and just like in any historical city there are cobbled streets... Suspension is always in under stress and the repair is pricy. Despite that, this car is amazing if you do the maintenance frequently.

both beautiful pieces of automotive art. I'd take the old one - because of the sound.

I always had a soft spot for the granturismo. Always good looking

The ending was perfect. I am a bit partial to Maseratis. My dad worked for them in the 80s and was even flown to Italy to take a tour of the factory. As much as I like the V8 soundtrack I like the twin turbo V6 as it gives me BiTurbo vibes. Its alot of damn money tho thats for sure.

Honestly I just remember smoking a Gran Turismo in my ftype r... I just feel like people who buy Maserati's are just in denial about the poor quality and got obsessed with the trident logo. The trident got you boys. But I get it, people like what they like. Great vid!

I'm just picturing James cruising along bumping David Guetta's "Im Good" after seeing it in the gauge cluster

Thanks for bringing back this series! It is, hands down, my favorite! I would also like to see a side by side comparison of the new GranTurismo and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, because as an owner of a QV, there seems to be a lot of parts sharing and similar driving experiences.

I recently purchased a 09 Quattroporte S with the 4.7L engine. The Quattroporte and granturismo share the same underpinnings and power plant during this generation. The one I purchased has an unbelievable 5000 miles for $30k. That is insane a Ferrari powered sedan with an original sticker of 150k for that price. Hell a base Camry starts at $26k. I have been researching these cars for the last few months. I have been checking on owner reviews and the overwhelming majority say they have been reliable and have enjoyed their experience. I also own an e39 M5 and I have put a lot of money into it since I originally purchased it in 2013. So I do know about rod bearings, timing chain guides and valve cover gaskets. You just don’t hear about major issues with the QP power plant. Yes you should be able to do your own oil changes and wrenching from time to time. They will all cost money to run. As they say you have three choices to pick from fast,cheap, or reliable and you can only have two. I much prefer the QP exhaust to my m5 with a muffler delete this engine sounds like nothing else and the video doesn’t do it justice. In person it’s stupendous. I think this is one of the most under appreciated cars out there. If they just put a prancing horse on it they would be 80k all day. Yes the duo select car is crap and should be avoided at all cost but the updated car with the zf is generally reliable. I think because it’s not a manual gearbox car it gets overlooked right now but when enthusiasts start to mis the roar of an Italian V8 they will give this another look.

Requesting a Thomas watch collection video. Seems like you're wearing a recent Seamaster 300 here, nice!

Feels like the done the outgoing model dirty here. I used to have the facelift (post 2013) and had no issues in the two years of ownership. The front of the post 2013 model and better seats (in my view) made the one in their review look very average. The 2017+ model had a more aggressive front end with updated technology inside. Also, I wonder if in their test, they went for the inferior 4.2 engine which was eventually phased out. There was something quite pure about just having one sport button to bring the outgoing version to life. It seems all modern cars have 4+ driving modes and I don't actually know which mode is the real car.

Lol, I did the same! Late November In Edmonton AB, opened my wife’s passenger window at -20C, ‘what are you doing? I can hear a Maserati GT MC ahead and want to hear it better!’ Yeah, she didn’t get it. One of my favourite sounding engines.
