GranTurismo S A year after the unveiling of the GranTurismo, Maserati
will be back at the Geneva International Motorshow with yet another world
premiere, the GranTurismo S. The ultimate expression of the Trident coupé's
sportiness shifts the emphasis onto performance and driving enjoyment.
Two main novelties
are at the heart of the new Maserati: the 440 HP V8 4.7 engine and the
electro-actuated gearbox with fast MC-Shift arranged in the Transaxle
layout typical of high-performance sports cars that represents the technological
DNA of all Maseratis.
The GranTurismo S makes use of the high-performance brake system developed
in collaboration with Brembo and introduced for the first time in the
automotive field on the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. The system features
front brake discs made with dual-cast technology - a dual casting of cast
iron and aluminum, paired with aluminum mono-bloc 6-piston brake calipers,
ensuring optimized braking performance.
On the exterior
the Maserati GranTurismo S is characterised by a number of aesthetic modifications
that, although discrete, are highly effective and make the car body appear
sportier without abandoning the sleekness of the lines masterfully designed
by Pininfarina.
The interior upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara reflects
the sporty flair of the Maserati GranTurismo S; the figure-hugging front
and rear seats are distinguished by their new dynamic design with horizontal
piping on the seats and seatbacks.
