Maserati's two-door GT — Mk1 (2007–2019) was the long-running M145 platform car with the 4.2 V8 (405 bhp) and the 4.7 V8 (Ferrari-built F136 family), in S, MC and MC Stradale trims. Mk2 (2023–Present) is the M183 platform car with the Nettuno 3.0 twin-turbo V6 (Modena 489 bhp / Trofeo 542 bhp), plus a Folgore battery-electric variant (760 bhp tri-motor). Cabin step-change between Mk1 and Mk2; Mk1 sounded amazing but felt old by 2018; Mk2 is genuinely modern. The convertible variant is the GranCabrio (separate sister). The MC Stradale Mk1 is the cult money — values climbing for clean cars.
