Last crawled date: 1 year, 1 month ago

The Maserati 3200 GT is an automobile produced by Maserati from 1998 to 2001. The luxury coupé was styled by Italdesign, whose founder and head Giorgetto Giugiaro previously designed, among others, the Ghibli, Bora and Merak. Sold mainly in Europe, the 3200 GT shared the twin-turbo 3.2 litre V8 featued in the Quattroporte IV and Shamal revised and tuned to 370 PS (365 HP),a very potent 115 PS (113 hp/85 kW) per litre. The 3200 GTA was equipped with an automatic gearbox and its engine delivered 368 PS (363 HP). Presented to the public at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, the 'Assetto Corsa' was a limited-edition, run-out version of the GT with a special handling package. The most remarkable design detail were the tail-lights, consisting of LEDs arranged in the shape of boomerang. The car was replaced in early 2002 by the similarly designed Maserati Coupé, when Maserati returned to the US market. The original 'boomerang' tail-lights were replaced because they did not meet US requirements for night-driving visibility.
