For those of you looking to drop $100,000+ on your next ride - Goldman Sachs employees, NFL draftees, YouTube billionaires - consider the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo.
A true GT (not like
the Pontiac Sunfire GT you drove in college) this new Maserati boasts a light-weight and high-revving 4.2 V8 engine, with hydraulic 6- speed transmission, that produces 405 hp and 339 ft-lb of torque at 7,100 rpm. And will take you from zero to holy shit in a face flapping 5.1 seconds.
Inside you're wrapped in Poltrona Frau leather (I have no clue what Poltrona Frau leather is, but it sounds expensive), while you watch the 7" high-resolution color screen connected to your 30 gig hard disc-based information and navigation system. Text message from your model/girlfriend? The system not only allows you to voice control the radio, navigation, and telephone, but it's capable of reading SMS messages out loud. (I know humans that can't do that.)
And when you're ready to take a weekend trip to the country, pack your made-to-order five-piece Salvatore Ferragamo luggage set, designed especially for the GranTurismo. And your model/girlfriend.
