Few cars blend style, sound and long-distance comfort quite like a Maserati GranTurismo S, and this 2010 example delivers exactly that. Finished in a classy metallic grey over a tan leather interior, it has the sort of presence that turns heads without needing to shout.

Under the bonnet sits Maserati’s naturally aspirated V8, a motor that gives this car its real character. It offers the kind of soundtrack and throttle response that makes every drive feel special, whether you are cruising through town or opening it up on the right road. This is not just a GT car in looks alone, it feels every bit the grand tourer from behind the wheel.

Inside, the cabin is a proper place to spend time, with beautifully trimmed tan leather, a sporty cockpit layout and that unmistakable Italian sense of occasion. The driving position is low and purposeful, while the wide centre console and classic Maserati dash design remind you that this is something far more special than the average coupe.

Showing just 29,953 miles on the clock, this example presents as a clean and well-kept car. The black alloy wheels and red brake calipers give it a subtle edge, while the overall condition seen here suggests a car that has been cared for and enjoyed properly.

It is worth noting that the car does require a new windscreen, something a buyer should factor in, but it does little to take away from the overall appeal of what remains a striking and highly usable Italian GT.

For the buyer wanting Italian flair, V8 theatre and genuine everyday usability, this GranTurismo S makes a very strong case for itself. It is elegant when parked, exciting when driven, and still one of the prettiest coupes of its era.
