Prepare some tissue paper. Just in case you start drooling..

 

This one is definitely a looker.

 

Normally you'd see a middle aged man who suddenly realises that he has a wad of cash in his back pocket and doesn't know what to spend it on. Strangely, a Maserati would appear in his garage the next day. Maseratis are the relatively cheaper alternatives to the Ferraris and the Lambos. The problem is, while people in their 20s and 30s buy the Horses and the Bulls, the Trident badge is neglected! I don't really know why. Maybe its because they have the 4 door Quatroportte in their line-up which sort of gives Maserati the 'family-super-car' image. This however, casts that stereotype away. Far far away...

This is the GranCabrio. And as you can see, its based on the Gran Turismo. That's a good thing. Its powered by a 4.7l V8 which has 434 horses at the touch of your right toes. 0-100km/h in 5.4s, not bad. Could be better but who cares! Just look at it.. I have a niggling feeling that the engineers must have calculated that if the GranCabrio accelerated any faster, men toupes would struggle driving this car with its top down.. if you know what i mean.

It seats 4 human beings as well. So they claim. I never like to believe. You'd need to have children with legs the width of chopsticks and the length of pig's trotters to ever fit in cars like these. But no matter. This seats 4.

the maserati indeed can sit 4. im relatively big sized and can fit quite comfortably. of course it cannot be compared to a normal family sedan. Still, it has good size nontheless.

  • Rewilding: A case for small wins

    I've always been drawn to the wilderness. It's perhaps a sense of adventure, but perhaps also an understandable response to growing up in our painstakingly curated and unyieldingly artificed Singapore. The wilderness represents an otherness, a mystery, a case of what-could-be. I've also been fortunate enough to have had opportunities to spend time in various remote landscapes, far away from the vicious machine of modern civilization. It's never truly wild, but it's a stark contrast to the glass-
