The Maserati GranTurismo is the first modern, two-door, four-seater coupe that delivers much more than its sensual beauty initially suggests. Pininfarina latest creation was destined for greatness right from its debut at the 2007 Geneva Motorshow. The car can trace its heritage right back to the very first GranTurismo produced by Maserati, the 1947 A6 1500 GT Pininfarina and it also incorporates the innovation and impact of the Birdcage 75th, the futuristic concept car that, in 2005, suggested the lines for future Maserati models.

For over sixty years Maserati has been a leading constructor of luxury automobiles. The marque is renowned for its high performance, comfort and overall safety. The GranTurismo does not stray from this tradition thanks to its distinct personality, its perfect blend of power and elegance, its adventurous design and surprising practicality.

The muscular and aerodynamic shape has been carefully studied down to the smallest details and is the fruit of extensive wind tunnel testing. This build quality is continued in the mechanical components: the V8 engine has all the characteristics of a competition-level power unit. It was developed to respond instantly to the accelerator and reward with previously unheard of driving pleasure.

The GranTurismo scores top marks when it comes to style, technology and craftsmanship, characteristics that have been recognised by its winning numerous international ‘Best Car’ awards. This is testimony to the competence, professionalism and attention to detail that makes each Maserati truly unique.

Beauty is the first thing many notice about the Maserati GranTurismo. Styled by Pininfarina, its taut lines, sculpted curves and polished surfaces drape the vehicle’s mechanics with a mix of precision and art. The GranTurismo, observed from any angle, expresses style, performance and craftsmanship. However, the beauty of the GranTurismo is more than skin deep.

Unique and unmistakably Maserati, the GranTurismo’s grille features concave vertical slats. A chrome Trident logo is suspended in its centre. The front headlights are positioned on a radically sloping front bumper, a stylistic element that has long distinguished Maserati coupes. The bonnet’s classic “V” shape is a feature that is echoed throughout the car.

The traditional Maserati design element of three chrome-ringed air vents set behind the front wheels give the GranTurismo an even more vibrant feel. The car’s lines have been designed to lead the eye fluidly over its curves, from its stunning front end to the sweeping rear.

Moving further down the side of the GranTurismo, the oval version of the Maserati logo (known as “Saetta”) stands out on the rear pillars. The elegant shape concludes at the rear light cluster, featuring LED lights, in a daring triangle. Wide aerodynamic diffusers sit under the sculpted bumper.

The styling themes continue inside the cabin: the V design element has been carried through to the dashboard below the Maserati clock, and is also picked up in the seat design, uniting the interior and exterior.

The GranTurismo transcends style and instead enters into the rarefied world of true beauty.

Once inside, the GranTurismo is characterised by a fusion of tradition and technology. The scent of supple Poltrona Frau leather combines with the feel of fine woods and detailed stitching to create a superior hand crafted cabin. The bespoke Bose Surround Sound system, designed and built to blend with the GranTurismo acoustics, delivers sound on a par with the best concert halls.

The electronically controlled front seats strike a balance between comfort and support needed for spirited driving. The “Easy Entry” system powers the front seats forward to allow ample space for rear passengers to climb on board and share in the roomy and refined atmosphere.

The full four-seater cabin is designed for functionality and comfort for all its occupants and the active Skyhook suspension constantly adapts to road conditions to ensure the perfect ride for passengers whilst maximising on handling. The interior of the Maserati GranTurismo combines captivating design and prestigious materials with the luxury that only space and light can provide. The cabin has been developed to render the GranTurismo not only a high performance sportscar but a vehicle able to stir the senses of driver and passengers alike.

The finish is clean but exquisitely refined, from the subtle chrome rings that surround the dashboard and steering wheel switches, to the Trident logo on the headrests and the Alcantara used on the back of the gearshift paddles.

Even occupants’ belongings are well cared for with numerous finished pockets and storage compartments. Open the trunk and equal care can be seen in the luggage compartment, which can hold two regular sized golf bags or the exclusive five-piece luggage set created especially for the Maserati GranTurismo by Salvatore Ferragamo.
