The seller offers for sale a 1999 Maserati 3200 GT, a grand tourer that marked Maserati’s rebirth under Ferrari’s partial ownership in the late 1990s. This example is powered by a 3217 cc twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, offering a blend of Italian elegance, mechanical precision, and raw performance. The vehicle has recorded 69,924 km (not guaranteed mileage) and is currently registered in Spain with a valid technical inspection.
This 3200 GT presents in very good overall condition. The exterior has been repainted and displays only minor chips and scratches. The bodywork retains its sharp Pininfarina styling, with hallmark features such as boomerang-shaped LED tail lights and a purposeful coupe silhouette. Some light rust is noted on the exhaust pipe, but otherwise, no significant corrosion or structural issues are reported.
Inside, the cabin shows minimal wear for the car’s age. The leather upholstery and controls remain clean, and all essential features function properly, although the clock is not working. The clutch pedal is described as firm, which may reflect either typical Maserati behavior or the need for adjustment or service.
Mechanically, the engine starts without issue and runs smoothly with no abnormal smoke or noise. The gearbox operates cleanly, and the drivetrain exhibits no reported issues. The braking system and tyres have been recently replaced, improving both safety and driving performance. The car is equipped with power steering and disc brakes.
The Maserati 3200 GT was introduced in 1998 as the spiritual successor to the Shamal and Ghibli II, and was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. Powered by a 370 hp V8 twin-turbo engine derived from Maserati’s Biturbo era, the 3200 GT combined luxury and power with aggressive styling and a driver-focused experience. It was notable as the last Maserati model to use a twin-turbo V8 before the introduction of Ferrari-sourced naturally aspirated engines in the later Maserati Coupé and Spyder models.
The 3200 GT was built exclusively for the European market, making left-hand drive examples like this one increasingly sought-after among collectors, especially those with the 6-speed manual transmission. With production ending in 2001, fewer than 5,000 units were made, giving the model added rarity.
This example benefits from low mileage, a recent mechanical refresh, and an honest presentation. While not showroom-new, its condition aligns with what would be expected from a well-preserved and regularly driven grand tourer. It provides a compelling opportunity for those seeking a distinct and engaging Italian classic that remains usable and rewarding on both road and display.
