Maserati GranTurismo MC
Why 6.0: DougScore rates it a 58 — genuine GT credentials from a Ferrari-assembled V8, docked by a used market that prices the trident before the engine. Values have fallen harder than most rivals in this class, which only deepens the pool of buyers who wanted the engine, not the crest.

Sound
The 4.7 is cross-plane, not flat-plane like the Ferrari it is related to, and that gives it a deep hard bellow through valves that open in Sport. But it is a heavy insulated GT and never finds a mid-engined car's raw edge. The best noise here that is not an exotic.

Child seats · ISOFIX
Two ISOFIX positions on the outer rear seats — jump seats, so the question is whether the seat physically fits behind a front occupant, not whether the anchors are there.
The rear anchors are the supported route — the manual points child seats there, and front-passenger ISOFIX is the exception rather than the rule. A belt-mounted seat up front needs the airbag off, and cars with a rear row don't always fit a deactivation switch, precisely because the rear seats exist.
Derived from production years and seating layout, not a per-car source. ISOFIX was standardised as ISO 13216 in 1997, required on new EU model types from 2011 and on all new EU cars from 2014.
The long version
Maserati sourced this V8 from Ferrari's Maranello line before it built the Nettuno in-house for the MC20, and period reviewers rated the chassis and soundtrack as genuinely competitive with GTs costing twice the sticker. None of that engineering pedigree has protected resale — this generation has lost roughly two-thirds of its original price, a steeper curve than most six-figure GTs manage even in a bad decade. That collapse built the ownership base that exists today: buyers who wanted a Ferrari-built V8 at a price close to a used 3-series, fully aware of what the badge costs them at trade-in. It's the same tax the MC20 pays now, just already baked into this car's number.
