Maserati has this
morning revealed the first official images and information about their new coupé
model, while will be known as the GranTurismo, exactly two weeks before the new
sports car makes its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The images follow the
weekend's release of Pininfarina design sketches; however the press release offers little technical
insight, though it does confirm it will be powered by the 405bhp 4.2-litre V8 engine.
The new Maserati GranTurismo, styled by Pininfarina, makes its
worldwide debut at the Geneva Motorshow - read the Maserati press release -
The Maserati GranTurismo is a muscular and sporty car, that can be
enjoyed every day and at the same time is engaging for the driver. Its excellent
handling and sportiveness makes it a point of reference in its category. The
Maserati GranTurismo is built with particular attention to
comfort, choice of materials and details and with enough room for four people,
as only Maserati can do.
The new Maserati GranTurismo is a high-performance sports car,
exciting to drive with a 4.2 litre V8 engine, delivering 405 HP, and a weight
distribution of 49 percent at the front and 51 percent at the rear. It is fitted with an
automatic gearbox and equipped with an adaptive control system which adjusts the
gear-shifting mode to the driving style and the driving conditions.

Maserati's tradition of the Gran Turismo concept dates back to 1947 when the
Trident Company, following its clients' demand, unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow
its first Gran Turismo, the A6, designed by the great Pinin Farina. It was the
first Maserati road car and was produced in 58 units. The car was acclaimed by
the automotive press for its advanced technical content and for its avant-garde
style solutions.
The new model name - Maserati GranTurismo - is not incidental.
Once again, the partnership between Maserati and Pininfarina gives birth to a
car that is able to generate emotions and sets itself apart from competitors,
due to the technique with which it is built and its unique style.
The new Maserati GranTurismo represents a further step towards the
completion of the Trident product range, following the worldwide launch of the
Quattroporte Automatic at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in
Detroit - the press release concluded.
