Maserati’s new Gran Turismo
From Japan to Italy, Maserati’s GranTurismo is all set to make a worldwide preview at Geneva. Styled by Pininfarina, it has a 4.2 litre V8 engine, delivering 405 horsepower 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 motor show its first Gran Turismo, the A6, again designed by Pininfarina.
It was the first Maserati road car and was produced in 58 units only. The car was acclaimed by the automotive press for its advanced technical content and for its avant-garde style solutions. Let’s see what they unveil at Geneva this time.
