Maserati:Two doors, four Seats, optimal balance, accessible power and the sexiest shape on the road. This can be a description of only one car: the Maserati GranTurismo. With the new coupe Maserati yet again refines and redefines the concept of a grand touring sports car. Inspired by the Maserati A6 of 1946, from which was developed the stunning Maserati A6GCS Pininfarina Coupe, the GranTurismo is reminiscent of a host of Trident classics from the Sebring to the Quattroporte, from the Ghibli to the Birdcage75. Styled by Pininfarina with a shapely form whose aggression matches its sophistication, the new coupe has room for four adults to cross a continent in sublime comfort. With its 4.2 liter, 405bhp Ferrari-designed V8, the GranTurismo packs a powerful punch up to 177mph. Its optimal 51% rear / 49% front weight distribution embodies ideal balance for exceptional roadholding, so the GranTurismo is that unique luxury coupe that which offers straight line and cornering performance in equal measure.
