Here’s a first look at the 2023 Maserati Grecale, the marque’s second SUV, following its Levante, introduced six years ago. A bit larger than the Porsche Macan, the Grecale’s base trim, called GT, has a 296-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine teamed with a 48-volt starter/generator.
It’s a sure sign of Spring when four legendary marques roll out their new supercars. Here’s what to look as the flowers begin to bloom: Maserati’s MC20, Porsche’s 911 Turbo S, the Lotus Eletra (“the world’s first hyper SUV EV), and Ferrari’s Purosangue. Get all the details here.
You can own the car that took on Ferrari…and has attracted owner like Sir Paul McCartney. This missed 1968 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 is offered at no reserve by Bonhams at its Amelia Island auction on March 3. It’s a left-hand-drive version estimated to sell for $250k-$300k.
Sometimes, a barn find yields rare gems, like this 1956 Maserati A6G/54 GranSport coupe, which is expected to bring $2.5-$3.25 million at the Gooding & Company Pebble Beach Auction in mid-August. The car is one of 60 built in the A6G/54 series, and one of four built in this coupe style by Carrozzeria Frua.
Just 485 Maserati Mexico’s made, powered by Maserati’s racecar-derived V8 engine and offered with a choice of five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmissions. RM Sotheby’s Scottsdale auction is offering one of the earliest Mexicos made, the 13th built. The pre-sale estimate is $125,000-$175,000.
The Aston Martin DBX, the marque’s first SUV, has arrived. It has been billed as “an SUV with the soul of a sports car” by the brand. The car starts at $189,900 and is ready to compete with other luxury brand SUVs.
RM Sotheby’s will offer the Briggs Cunningham car at its Monterey auction later this month, with a pre-sale estimate of $700,000-$850,000. Cunningham was an American yacht and car racer and all-around wealthy guy, making this car a rare find.
