I can't afford Marserati, but one of my friend owns a Lambo Gallardo and Maserati QP in UK. He told me the front gearbox failure of his Lambo costed him about 10k pounds about 2 years ago. Once the warranty period expire, the maintenance cost can be awful lot.
It depends on where you buy sometimes, if you buy it from the Maserati dealer, they will provide you a maintenance scheme at a fixed price in a fixed period or certain mileage.
But 30k km which is about 19000miles, you will normally need a big service and you should expect a clutch overhaul.
yes this is old Ferrari 90s bulky F1 gearbox, it calls duo select in terms of Masa, its actually a hudralic system replace human left foot to engage the clutch. some of duo select gearbox can't last 10k kms, aprroximate the clutch and throw out bearing can last over 30k kms.
most of the user misunderstand duo select gearbox is automatic gearbox, but actually not, it only comes with auto shifting mode instead of peddle shift. Post 07 model has change the ZF 7 speed dual clutch gearbox which is really an automatic gearbox.
My QP just did the clutch change just over 30k kms

I see, thanks brother, frequent maintenance is generally expected for high power european cars under HK driving condition. Just want to make sure I understand the car and its bottom line when it comes to major service. Thanks.

Ok. No problem. I'm not sure if there is any 2nd hand Maserati dealer in Hong Kong, it would be the easier way to get the info. on the plans or you may ask the errrrr.... who owns a just serviced Quattroporte.
BTW which model you are looking for?
In those years I had replaced 3 clutches, which cost about 3 ...
I think this is just how you define F1 transmission, actually there is a Grand Turismo Sport F1 model, it has an ultra quick paddle shift, but you cannot really compare it to the 8 speed real formula one transmission.
Bar the MC12, most of the Maserati is not that high performance, they are mostly GT style, they will need a more smoother gear change rather than ultimate performance, just like the Beemer 650i using the hydraulic box (torque converter) but not the SMG.
