2001 Maserati 3200 GT Asseto Corsa
*** NO RESERVE***
Registration - M444 AAS
Chassis No. - ZAMAA38Dthe details below
M. O. T. - September 2025
Odometer - 70, 000
Stylish and sumptuous - yet almost menacing - in all-black this example of Maserati’s 3200 GT coupe is finished in Nero Carbonio, and offered at no reserve. Powered by Maserati’s twin-turbocharged 3. 2-litre V8 - rated at more than 365hp when new - ‘M444 AAS’ is fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission, driving the rear wheels. That Nero Carbonio exterior sits over a cabin trimmed in Nero Connolly leather, with Rosso red piping and carbon fibre dashboard inserts. Maserati’s titanium-coloured 15-spoke alloy wheels complement the design of the 3200 GT Asseto Corsa, while the badge’s suffix means it comes with equipment such as drilled aluminium pedals, aluminium kick plates, and Larini stainless steel quad-exhaust system. Other Asseto Corsa elements include a switchable handling pack, incorporating lowered suspension with stiffer springs and larger anti-roll bars, as well as larger brake discs.
There were just 75 Asseto Corsa cars brought to the UK, each individually numbered, and ‘M444 AAS’ is number 21 - there were only 250 models worldwide. Supplied new to Lancaster in Colchester, the 3200 GT was serviced by the dealership until 2008, and then McGrath Maserati, ensuring a full service history. ‘M444 AAS’ is supplied with stamped service records, owners handbook with radio manual, original warranty documents, and even tax discs from 2005 until 2015. Prior to ownership by the present keeper - just the fourth in more than 23 years on the road - this 3200 GT Asseto Corsa was part of a Maserati collection according to the vendor. Reading an indicated 70, 000 miles on the odometer, ‘M444 AAS’ had a cam belt change earlier this year, along with full service in May - including auxiliary belt, antifreeze, and differential oil change. Drop links were both replaced, and the suspension stripped with bushes replaced on the nearside as part of MOT advisories; work was carried out by Maserati specialists, and the contactless throttle body was also replaced. The vendor describes the engine and paintwork as in ‘below average’ condition, the bodywork and interior as ‘average’, and the transmission and electrics as ‘good’.
Offered at no reserve
Rare Asseto Corsa specification Maserati 3200 GT
Extensive service record and folder of paperwork
Maserati introduced the 3200 GT in 1998 eschewing the tradition of naming its models after winds, because VW had the rights to the name it wanted. Linking back to the 3500 GT, Maserati’s first GT, the name comes from the 3. 2-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet. One of the most striking design touches on the sleek four-seater were the thin, curved ‘boomerang’ rear lights. Available with either manual or automatic transmission, the 3200 GT also saw a Assetto Cross special edition launched in 2001, featuring a special handling package for improved performance. The 3200 GT was produced for four years when replaced by what was an evolution model, the 4200 GT, in 2002.
