Maserati GranTurismo

 

Beauty is the Maserati GranTurismo's most potent weapon. Its taut lines, rippling muscles and polished surfaces immediately grab the eye. Sculptured and sexy, elegant and well-balanced, the GranTurismo's visual presence sets the pulse racing. Its authentic style is unmistakably Maserati, transmitting power, sensuality and refi nement to their limits. Pininfarina has created a design that symbolizes the very nature of the GranTurismo concept, combining sporty performance in a spacious car for four adults.

Scintillating acceleration, precise entry into curves, impeccable stability and sharp brakes. The GranTurismo is able to deliver the most intense emotions on the road, not only to the driver but also to the passengers.

Specification

The beating heart of the GranTurismo is a 4244cc 90° V8 engine. It is a power unit that forms part of the new stable of Maserati engines. Compact and light, with the cylinder block and heads in aluminium and silicon alloy, the engine boasts 32 valves actioned by twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank with lowpressure variable phase intake cams.

The GranTurismo's engine was created with one noble objective in mind: to guarantee the high peak power (95.4 bhp/litre) and speed of engine response typical of a competition unit to assure smooth acceleration and a quiet running. The result is immediately evident. As soon as the Maserati V8 comes to life, the driver can enjoy the sporty, pitch-perfect note.
