BTR M72LE

BTR's four-speed automatic — in the Maserati 3200 GT Automatica, and before it the Quattroporte IV.

It is a conventional torque-converter automatic, which is worth saying on a car that was launched as a manual: the automatic 3200, the GTA, was a separate version, unveiled at the Geneva show in March 1999 and delivered from that June — so a 3200 GT's gearbox is settled by which of the two it is, not by its year.

Its other application is the Quattroporte IV, in both the 2.8- and 3.2-litre versions. It is listed today among the four-speed automatics of Drivetrain Systems International, which is the name to search under for anything more on the unit itself.
