For over sixty years Maserati has been making luxury automobiles.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.

It is powered by a 32 valve eight cylinder engine that develops 405 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. The cylinder heads are made of aluminium alloy and silicon. It has a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters for the manual control mode. There are four function modes: Auto Normal is for comfortable cruising, Auto Sport is for those who like a sportier, more involving drive, Auto ICE is for low grip conditions and then there is Manual mode. In manual, it is the driver who chooses when to change gear via the steering wheel paddles.

The acceleration provided by the Maserati V8 is immediate, and, thanks to the electronic ‘drive by wire’ throttle control, the car responds to even the slightest touch on the pedal. The Maserati GranTurismo reacts brilliantly thanks to its perfect weight distribution: 49% of the car’s weight sits over the front end and 51% on the rear.The Maserati GranTurismo has won numerous international ‘Best Car’ awards. Pricing starts at $114,750.
