Buyers of the Maserati Coupe are aware of the reputation of the car they are purchasing. The Coupe has been one of the premier vehicles of the Maserati line for years. It is considered an institution of a car and the 2005 model is no exception. The Maserati Coupe falls into the coupe for the family category. People who purchase the Coupe have been doing so for the last few generations in a family. It is a constant that only gets better with age.

Performance

The Coupe Cambiocorsa is equipped with a Maserati/Ferrari 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Ferrari 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Maserati.

The Coupe uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 2005 Coupe is a traditional Bosch ME-7.3.2, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 23.30 gallons.

Coupe Cambiocorsa Statistics

The dimensions of the Coupe Cambiocorsa are 71.70 inches wide by 178.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 51.40 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 104.70 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the Coupe is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.

The listed retail price in 2005 (MSRP) was $86,877, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
