Every new Maserati is always styled to be a unique symbol of prestige and the Maserati GranTurismo can be consideringa modern day masterpiece.
The Maserati GranTurismo heart is its V8 4.2L engine, which design generates the power and rapidity that are typical of the competition engines. In the specific, the V8 engine has been conceived to give extreme responsiveness to every input on the accelerator. Compact, light and quick to respond, the engine featured in the Maserati GranTurismo can deliver 405 hp at 7,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 339 lb/ft (460 Nm)at 4,750 rpm.
The 6-speed automatic transmission by ZF provides a smooth, relaxed driving and it is designed to respond with a superior versatility in every situation. For those desiring to push the GranTurismo to its limits, the transmission provides ultra-fast gear changes up to 7,200 rpm. For a more relaxed driving, the transmission has been designed with ratios that reduce fuel consumption as well as interior noise at high speeds, guaranteeing comfort and smooth gear shifts.
