I don't love it as much as the classic Ghibli, but this is an extremely beautiful car and easily worthy of an SZ.

Also, possibly useless trivia, this is one of only 3 Maseratis Hot Wheels has ever made, along with the 2004 Quattroporte and the MC12.

Granted I am not the biggest Maserati fan, I do think this is a very nice car. It has character in its design and style, so this can't be "Meh" or worse. I'm going to call Cool on this one. I am not in love with this car by any stretch, but this is a good looker.

I really think that any Maserati until early 70s is SZ

The absence of an engine shot is criminal.

Maserati used to build gorgeous motors. Mechanical porn.

 

[ZGBox]

Yep, SZ

Almost every 60's Maserati = SZ.
I'm sure that I said it already, but the italians are the best designing cars.

Its a gorgeous Italian sports car from the 60s. It can't really be anything but a SZ from me.

The front reminds me of a Lotus Europa, I wonder if it was an inspiration. Anyway as others have said, 60s Italian sports car instant SZ. This one isn't quite as beautiful as the best of the breed but you wouldn't chuck it out of bed, figuratively speaking. I particularly like the C pillar design on the coupe.
