Background Information and History

The Maserati 3200 GT is a modern classic and one of the first steps in Maserati’s renaissance during the 2000s. It was introduced in 1998 as the brand’s big return to the exclusive grand tourer segment and was produced until 2002. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, it is instantly recognizable by its distinctive “boomerang” taillights – the first in the world to feature LED technology.

Under the hood sits a 3.2-liter twin-turbo V8 with 32 valves, developed by Maserati and refined under Ferrari ownership. With around 370 hp and 491 Nm of torque, it delivers a pulse-raising driving experience that blends elegance with raw strength. The 0–100 km/h sprint is handled in just over 5 seconds, with a top speed of around 280 km/h. The engine character is classically Italian – a deep, dark soundtrack paired with an explosive surge when the turbos kick in.

Driving the 3200 GT is an analog and engaging experience. With rear-wheel drive, a manual gearbox, and direct steering feel, it offers a raw yet comfortable ride – perfect for long-distance touring or spirited backroad driving. It is a car that demands respect but rewards with genuine driving pleasure for those who appreciate true Italian engineering.
