Prepare some tissue paper. Just in case you start drooling..

 

This one is definitely a looker.

 

Normally you'd see a middle aged man who suddenly realises that he has a wad of cash in his back pocket and doesn't know what to spend it on. Strangely, a Maserati would appear in his garage the next day. Maseratis are the relatively cheaper alternatives to the Ferraris and the Lambos. The problem is, while people in their 20s and 30s buy the Horses and the Bulls, the Trident badge is neglected! I don't really know why. Maybe its because they have the 4 door Quatroportte in their line-up which sort of gives Maserati the 'family-super-car' image. This however, casts that stereotype away. Far far away...

This is the GranCabrio. And as you can see, its based on the Gran Turismo. That's a good thing. Its powered by a 4.7l V8 which has 434 horses at the touch of your right toes. 0-100km/h in 5.4s, not bad. Could be better but who cares! Just look at it.. I have a niggling feeling that the engineers must have calculated that if the GranCabrio accelerated any faster, men toupes would struggle driving this car with its top down.. if you know what i mean.

It seats 4 human beings as well. So they claim. I never like to believe. You'd need to have children with legs the width of chopsticks and the length of pig's trotters to ever fit in cars like these. But no matter. This seats 4.

the maserati indeed can sit 4. im relatively big sized and can fit quite comfortably. of course it cannot be compared to a normal family sedan. Still, it has good size nontheless.

  • Sgcarmart Explores: Japan Edition (ft. the Nissan Ariya)!

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha

    A right-handers world

    I was mid-way through a bike ride in Ladahk, feeling the ache in my right hand, when a thought occurred to me: “Huh, how come the throttle is always on the right side of all bikes?”  Statistically, about 90% of people in the world are right-handed. Full disclosure: I am right-handed, part of this largely ignorant majority.  And if you think about it, some things are designed clearly with that in mind.  Throttle on a motorcycle? Right hand. Accelerator pedal in a car? Right f

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available! Since November 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been gradually replacing in-vehicle units (IUs) with the new on-board units (OBU). The OBU will pave the way for smoother traffic as we transition to the new ERP 2.0 system that is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.  The OBU comprises three parts: An

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev
