  • Time for something totally different. I pulled the trigger on this high-mileage 2013 Maserati Quattroporte GTS with the Twin-Turbo 3.8L Ferrari-derived V8 engine. This Maserati has accumulated a whopping 187k miles /301k kilometers and it's quite badly broken.

When they do work however, they're an absolute treat to drive and listen to. I always called them an upgraded Alfa Romeo. In both problems and quality.

    I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but on the Ferrari's they have 2 Engine ECUs; where each one is located, they control the opposite side bank! I would imagine this being a V8 it has 2 ECUs and probably follows the same non-logic

      @@M539Restorations I really hope you do!! The problem with the gts is that not only it is the best fifth gen quattroporte to drive and look but also to own, the facelitfed models had much better electronics, the zf 6 speed was much better than the duoselect, the wet sump engines were more reliable than the early dry sump 4.2 also the gts had, as standard at least, fixed rate bilstein dampers so no skyhook to worry about either. As a result they require a premium when they go on sale and their owners are less willing to part ways with them. Still I hope we hear it's roar in your dojo one day!!

    You are a true professional with high quality standards and you don't take yourself seriously. This is a rare blend and an example for others.
    Your positivity and your appetite for challenges are contagious. It gives me motivation to start bigger things and finish them. It's truly therapeutic and inspirational.
    It's great to be passionate with one brand (Porsche for me) and I bet a little variety in brand will be good thing for the channel long term, so it was a smart move to diversify. Whether it will be good for the mechanic mental health and purse, the jury is still out. 🙂
    Long live your channel.

    I was NOT expecting a Maserati! When he said in a previous episode he bought a new car and it wasn’t a BMW, I thought no way! I think it’s actually a Mercedes this time! I am much more excited for this one I absolutely love Maserati’s, fully aware of all their flaws but I accept them for all they are and aren’t. There are basically no videos diving into the insides of this engine and I am very excited to see it! There’s nobody I would rather see tear into and rebuild an engine. I can’t wait for all the satisfying things you do to rejuvenate this Italian stallion! Next up after this one, please get the older Quattroporte I want to see that more than anything! That is my dream car and has been for a long time. I can not get enough of watching videos on those👍👍
