In 2002, Maserati changed the older 3200 GT to a new vehicle named Coupe. While the name was new, the look was almost the same as its predecessor. Some could say it was a major facelift.

Maserati replaced the Shamal lineup in 1998 with the 3200 GT, a vehicle that redefined the styling of the Italian brand for decades due to its curved panels and waved-shaped lines.
