A year after the
unveiling of the GranTurismo, Maserati will be back at the
Geneva International Motor Show next week with yet another
world première, this time with the more powerful GranTurismo
S. The ultimate expression of the Trident coupé's sportiness,
the GrandTurismo S shifts the emphasis onto performance and
driving enjoyment.
Two main novelties are at the heart of the new Maserati
model and 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 aluminium, paired with aluminium mono-bloc
6-piston brake calipers, ensuring optimized braking
performance.
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.
