    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Funny how we can interpret the article in different ways - this is a very positive review, I feel. The negatives are largely the brakes and the interior. You seem to have a very negative view about the Cup in general; as someone who has driven the GT and Cup back to back regularly, I cannot...

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Mike - best known as SM from Pistonheads forum - was kind to upload the Autocar test with some of the key data that may prove useful.

    Hi from the other side

    How much would you be wanting for it?

    Lack of car magazines

    Well, someone’s got to empty the local hedgerows when the truckers are done with them.

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    That’s not true - the Cup has roller bearing turbos that spin up faster than GT ones. Again, I’ve driven GTs back to back with Cups. It also has more power (330bhp 2.0, 305bhp 2.8) thanks to an ECU map and exhaust modifications. Cups also have noticeably stiffer suspension in all modes and...

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Also @gemini i think has comparative torque curves for the 60 ‘normal’ 2.0 Cups and the Japanese 2.8 Cups, of which a handful were made.

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Having driven a GT and a Cup back to back, they do feel very different @alpa - then again, like a lot of hand built cars whether from the UK or Italy, by my this point there’s no real uniformity to how they all drive. 80s and 90s Astons (less so DB7s) and Bentleys vary from car to car...

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Helped to make green great again at Caffeine and Machine, as did this rather tasty looking pair.

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Well, you tend to push harder a) on track and b) in game than you ever would on the road. I’ve yet to drive mine truly hard (waiting for another damper so another month or two) but, having driven others hard before… In normal driving, even in the rain, I’ve found the Cup far more easier to drive...

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Sorry pressed reply a bit too early. Looking forward to seeing more of this, as I miss sim racing, multi class grids and realistic physics from the rfactor 1 days. Also I’m too much of a wimp to take my Cup on track (the brakes really are… not great) so I’d rather wipe myself out on a virtual...

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    I think a more useful resource for you would be the Autocar test report, back when magazines bothered to measure such stuff. I’d scan mine but it’s in storage pending a house move, but you can buy an old copy via eBay...

    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    Glad someone is doing this as I keep thinking of getting a setup. There is a Ghibli Cup car model around, but last I checked it had the weight of 1700kg which not even me+car has that, and I’ve eaten many Mars bars. I think it’s around 1300-1400kg. Have you used Carfolio? Modelling the torque -...

    The only model year 2023 QP Trofeo (apparently)

    This looks remarkable value, if nine years older http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402266963854 Nice to see one not in black too. Not as engaging to drive as a Trofeo, alas.

    £140k IIRC. Before options.

    Maseratis - Spotted

    White GranTurismo somewhere north of Goodwood on Wednesday evening. I was in the green Cup, wondering why Waze had sent me down single track roads.

    CAR AUCTIONS

    I imagine the reserve will be ridiculous. Whatever that may be, it'll likely to be the cheapest part of the restoration journey. Doesn't stop me being tempted to put another bid in, mind.

    The only model year 2023 QP Trofeo (apparently)

    From the words, it seems a nice spec too, if not that lovely Fuoroserie green. https://www.dicklovett.co.uk/specialist/used-cars/2023-maserati-quattroporte-v8-trofeo-zf-euro-6-4-door
