The Appeal
The 4.2 GTS Quattroporte V was equipped with the 400bhp Ferrari F136 V8 and was only available between 2007 and 2008. Just 667 left the factory. These elevated cars got lowered suspension and Bilstein shocks in place of the standard ‘Skyhook’ suspension, delivering a sharper driving experience. They can be identified by the 20in alloys and the upgraded interior.
This 2008 4.2 GTS has covered just 59,000 miles from new. It looks tidy in black metallic with a beige leather cabin. There are a few cosmetic points to note, but we’re told the car has been well maintained by its handful of keepers. It will be sold with a fresh 12-month MOT.
For buyers looking for a couture alternative to the more common performance German saloons, this low-mileage Maserati rarity will be tempting.
