The Most Beautiful & The Ugliest Cars: Maserati

[cawimmer430]

MOST BEAUTIFUL



1956-1957 Maserati A6 G 2000GT "Alemano" - The only Maserati I really like from the 1950s. This thing is badass. 





1977-1982 Maserati Khamsin - One of the most beautiful wedge-shaped sports cars ever. This car is gorgeous. GORGEOUS.





1979-1990 Maserati Quattroporte - As a fan of boxy styling, I cannot help but adore this generation Quattroporte. Imposing, elegant and with a tad of Kitsch. Love it.





1982-1989 Maserati Biturbo - For me the most beautiful Maserati ever. I love the Biturbo, but only the early "problematic" models. The facelifts didn't do the simple but beautiful designs any favors. What a beautiful coupe. 





1983-1989 Maserati 425 - A Biturbo with 4-doors. What's not to like about it? 





1994-2001 Maserati Quattroporte - One of the most beautiful and forgotten designs of the mid-late 1990s. I always thought these looked great. A client of mine owns two of them, a V6 and a V8.








UGLIEST



1963-1970 Maserati Mistral - Boring. Ugly. Bland. PART 1.





1969-1975 Maserati Indy - Boring. Ugly. Bland. PART 2.





1971-1978 Maserati Bora & 1972-1982 Maserati Merak - I've always hated the way these cars looked. I find them to be ugly. UGLY. REALLY UGLY.





1989-1991 Chrysler TC by Maserati - Technically not a Maserati, but it still needs to be here.





1990-1996 Maserati Shamal - They took the basic gorgeous design of the Biturbo, fattened it up like a Christmas goose, chopped off some length and tacked a lot of gimmicky plastic onto it. Horrible.

Many beautiful Maseratis, as with all Italian marques.

Pretty much everything Maserati made from 1975 until the 3200GT came out in 1998 were the ugliest cars they ever made. Easily.

Oh dear, so much wrong here. Your most egregiously bad picks yet.

You don't like the Biturbo!? What's wrong with you!? 


The 3200GT is a beautiful design. But you know what ruins the entire design for me? The mirrors.

DESIGN = SUBJECTIVE

[Payman]

Okay yes, design is subjective. I think this is not only a beautiful Maserati, but the best looking car of the last 10 years...

[FoMoJo]

It is truly beautiful.

[Payman]

Since De Tomaso was passed over, imma gonna park this here.

[FoMoJo]

The Mangusta was gorgeous, but no less beautiful was the Pantera.

This one was polished by Foose...



A comtemporary Mangusta, scintillating...
