Getting 17 Miles a Gallon: The Maserati Coupe for 2005
In 2005 Maserati released the Coupe GT to the car-buying market. The Coupe came in two configurations: Cambiocorsa and GT. The GT configuration is powered by the 4.2-liter eight-cylinder engine, which makes 17 highway miles and 11 city. The Coupe competes in the Coupe market segment, in direct competition with Toyota.
Maserati Coupe Engine Specs
The Coupe GT is equipped with a Maserati/Ferrari 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Getrag 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Maserati.
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.
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.
Vehicle Statistics
The Coupe is 178.10 inches long, 71.70 inches wide, and 51.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 104.70 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.
The listed retail price in 2005 (MSRP) was $86,877, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
The standard warranty period for the Coupe is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
Fuel Efficiency
The Coupe GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of eleven in-city driving and seventeen when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.
Conclusion
The 2005 model year was telling year for the Maserati Coupe. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the GT version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
