The 2007 Maserati Gransport Contemporary Classic...

fast-autos.net
As a tribute to the enormous success enjoyed by the GranSport, the maximum expression of the coupé concept designed by Giugiaro, Maserati unveiled the new "Contemporary Classic" at the 2006 Paris Motorshow. The name "Contemporary Classic" is inspired by the car's style, an icon for Italian design which has become an instant classic. It combines excellent dynamic handling with top level comfort. The equipment for the Maserati GranSport gives this coupe a more exclusive look with echoes of a sporty past, a much loved past which has been forgotten with the technological evolution of design. This equipment remains faithful to the design trends of a classic brand whilst being born into an automotive world in which products are always developed as the results of performances and of mechanical evolution. The "Contemporary Classic" softly highlights what technology has to offer the customer, showing that the quality of the product is improved by the details, which help to make it more distinctive. In this case, the interior equipment doesn"t upset the mood inspired by the body, but simply stresses it further and makes it more fashionable, without being excessive.

Exterior

The equipment provides for 19"", ball-polished wheel rims.

Interior

With the "Contemporary Classic" equipment, the car's pure elegance is underlined by a full leather interior with stylish piping around the seats and dashboard (suggested in the same colour as the bodywork), and is combined with other chic touches, such as light blue instruments with a vintage look and a full leather steering wheel. Four selections of exterior and interior colours are suggested for the GranSport Contemporary Classic.

400hp is a pretty fair whack.
 
The inside looks so sweet, but the inside is like a mix between retro and modem.
 
I like that a lot, I just wish they'd change the rear lights back to the original ones.
 
They're good cars, and great looking that's why.

Im taking it that your talking about the strip of LED's that curved down the rear of the car ...... those were really sweet and unique! wish they brought those back...dont see why they changed them?

US lighting standards. Its no coincidence that the 3200GT lost it's boomerang taillamps at the same time Maserati came back to the US. I really miss them though, they were awesome.
 
I have to say that the interior is freaking amazing. Gorgeous! But besides that it looks like any other Gran Sport--ugly. The details are nice, sure, but the body looks dated, the front air dam and side skirts don't look like they belong there, and who decided to turn thos skirts to running boards? They even have a cut-out giving the impression that they're meant to be used as running boards. Ugly. And so goes for the Quattroporte.
 
I had the pleasure of spending the most part of a saturday in the passenger seat of a 'regular' Gransport not long ago. Needless to say I loved every moment of it :p
 
So, those guys at Maserati are pretty much a bunch of savs

Great interior. Exterior could use a little brush-up however
 
Did they use left over door handles from 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan production?

EDIT: Or, it could have been first/second generation Ford Explorer production.
