Insight Into the Maserati Coupe for 2006

Maserati Coupe

The 2006 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa was introduced to compete in the coupe market. The Cambiocorsa is a member of a series of two trim levels for the Coupe which include GT and Cambiocorsa. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Maserati. There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.

Maserati Coupe Engine Specs

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 fuel system for the 2006 Coupe is a Bosch ME-7.3.2 design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage 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 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 listed retail price in 2006 (MSRP) was $87,577, with an invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

There is a 50,000 mile, 48 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000/48 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2006 Coupe gets 19 miles/gallon on the highway and only 12 in the city. This is exceptional for a coupe car.

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa sold well in 2006. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Maserati, specifically a Coupe.

    I saw the recent news about Maseratis and their reliability. I personally would check out web sites like edmunds.com and others before I made a choice of a car like the Coupe.

    No less than 5 of my friends have a Coupe. I can’t say more than two of them are happy with it…
