Maserati GranTurismo S



Maserati GranTurismo S will bepowered by a 4.7L V8 engine that produces 440 horsepower, the S uses an electro-actuated gearbox with MC-Shift technology to create an unforgettable driving experience. The gearbox allows the GT S to shift in a one tenth of a second and enables the car to go from 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds.

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 aluminium, paired with aluminium mono-bloc 6-piston brake callipers, ensuring optimised 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.
