Top 15 Cars That Get All The Girls

Maserati-GranTurismo

5. Maserati GranTurismo

And now a recent car that defines the term “instant classic”.

The Maserati GranTurismo dropped jaws when it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007 and has continued to be high on the wish lists of collectors the world over ever since.

The standard version boasts a 4.2 liter V8 engine and an automatic ZF six-speed transmission, allowing to it go from zero to 60 in about five seconds.

The exterior was designed by rising star Jason Castriota, who went on to head several world class projects for Saab and Ferrari. It combines exotic, European sensibilities with the American love for all things efficient and new. This car would feel equally at home cruising through the foothills of Italy or down the side streets of Beverly Hills.

Though the droptop adds weight and makes the car’s handling feel somewhat stiff at times, but that’s all quibbling in the face of sheer beauty. The lavish interior makes this car feel like a spaceship. It also features adaptive lighting control.

The headlights follow the steering wheel up to fifteen degrees, making those high-speed turns much safer at night. It’s aged extremely well in the notoriously competitive auto industry, and it looks like GranTurismos will be gracing auction halls for years to come.
