Maserati 3200 GT from Underworld – Maserati Coupe

I find it interesting that in a movie about warring vampires and werewolves, there are some kick ass cars to ogle.  Perhaps maybe because in the same movie about warring vampires and werewolves, they also have guns to ogle.

I’m a sucker for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror flicks.  In Underworld, modern day vampires and werewolves continue their centuries long blood feud using human technology.  So they play with guns and cars, just the way we humans do.

The vampires have particularly great taste in cars.  They drive around in Jaguars and Maseratis.  The one that caught my eye is the silver Maserati 3200 GT that Selene (played by Kate Beckinsale) drove in the second half of the movie. 

The luxury coupe looks sleek and sounds great.  Too bad it’s not being made anymore.  It has been in production from 1998 until 2001.  And it has never been sold in the US, just largely Europe.  It does have an American successor, the Maserati Coupe, which has been introduced in the US in 2002 as Maseratis returned to North America after an 11 year absence.

The Coupe is largely based on the 3200 GT but with a larger engine from 3.2 L to 4.2 L V8.  A starker change is the tail light.  The Maserati 3200 GT has a distinct boomerang shaped tail light that is just too cool for words.  But since it did not meet US safety standards, it is replaced by something other than “too cool for words.”
