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.

I love the granturismo. One of the only reasons I did not want one was because it was underpowered. I don't have an excuse anymore.

What a beautiful car!

Thanks for the post.

 

Spotted one at the local Ferrari/Maserati dealership yesterday when i stopped by. Absolutely stunning car, and i was quite amazed at how low the price was.

 

It is an absolutley gorgeous car, I saw a grey/red GT a couple of days ago and it looks much better in real life than the pictures which makes it look too big. I really like it but the price isnt that great considering the non S model costs 150,000 usd over here, we have yet to see how much the S will cost probably 180,000 or so not that far from a new base F430.

 

It is still underpowered, this should be the base car.

 

Beautiful model and would look better with a horizontal grille ala 599!

 

Those are bad *** photos....

 

I don't know about those seats, they look extremely uncomfortable, especially for a GT car. They almost look like bucket seats, and wouldn't your neck be pushed outward because the back is not all the same level.. can't imagine laying back and driving relaxed in those seats at all

 

The back looks kinda like an Aston Martin.

 

Without a doubt a sharp looking vehicle. I do agree on the seats being on the hard side for a long trip.
