In response to demand for a 'performance' version of the Maserati 3200GT coupé the limited edition 3200GT Assetto Corsa was unveiled at the Melbourne International Motor Show, just a day prior to the release of the 320S Barchetta at the Geneva Motor Show. The limited edition 3200GT Assetto Corsa emphasises the sporting character of the 3200GT (Corsa means track and Assetto means handling), with the majority of development work being on handling and braking performances. Maserati has decided that extra performance doesn’t mean less comfort and the 3200GT Assetto Corsa continues to surround its four adult occupants in luxury, with a sporty new Connelly sports leather interior. Power continues to come from the impressive 271 kilowatt V8 twin turbo engine - the additional features of the car are outlined below. Only 150 will be built worldwide, with 10 being allocated for the Australian and New Zealand marketplace. Deliveries of the Assetto Corsa start in August 2001 and expectations are that the price will be $15,000 above the 3200GT retail price. |
