Italian horse with extra power: 440 hp Maserati GranTurismo S!

The Maserati GranTurismo S is not just a sports car, but an Italian masterpiece that combines performance and beauty in a unique way. Ideally in an intensive “Rosso Mondiale” paintwork, it magnetically attracts attention and proves that appearance and functionality can go hand in hand. The precisely designed Pininfarina body creates the impression of fluid movement even when the vehicle is stationary, embodying a visual elegance that has always been associated with the Maserati name. Under the hood of the GranTurismo S waits 4,7 liter V8 on his strength from 440 PS & 490 Nm Torque develops at 4.750 rpm, a significant increase over the 405 hp of the standard GranTurismo. Machine precision is on offer here, capable of transmitting almost impetuous thrust to the rear wheels at 7.600 rpm, while the double exhaust system composed a symphony of mechanical sounds.

And that in GranTurismo S built MC-Shift transmission, which takes its name from the Maserati Corse (MC) racing department, is more than just a transmission. In sport mode, and especially when operated manually, it becomes apparent that it has been designed to shift gears in just 100 milliseconds switch. It delivers an acoustic experience that is characterized by the typical Maserati sound excels as soon as it is turned over 5.000 rpm. And there is also a difference between them when it comes to handling GranTurismo S and the basic GranTurismo clearly. With firm cushioning that ensures wonderful road holding, as well as a Brembo brakes, which enables precise and almost brutal braking performance, the S ensures an experience that can be felt both on the road and visually.

All elements combine to form an overall package that, despite the lavish 1,9 tons Weight and additional costs for the sports package, delivers unparalleled charm and fantastic road presence. Thus, the Maserati GranTurismo S represents a successful symbiosis of form and function that honors the brand's rich heritage while delivering a modern and powerful interpretation of what a Maserati is at its core: an icon of Italian automotive engineering that always strikes the balance between elegance and raw, unadulterated power.
