GranTurismo Coupe and Convertible include a 433-horsepower, 4.7L hand-built V8 engine, combined with a 6-speed
automatic transmission. The new GranTurismo MC and Sport Convertible models get more power, from a special version
of the brand's 4.7L V8 engine, making 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. The MC can get to 60 mph in just
4.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 185 mph. All U.S. versions of the GranTurismo come with a 6-speed automatic
transmission with both manual and sport modes, with the latter opening up baffling in the exhaust system for a
louder, more baritone note during acceleration. Sport mode also reduces shift times by about 50 percent. Most
GranTurismo models get an adjustable Skyhook air suspension that combines reasonably good ride comfort with the
firmness and response of a performance car. Instead of the Skyhook adjustable air suspension, the MC gets a
conventional suspension that in effect has firmer springs, as well as a thicker front anti-roll bar. Inside, the MC
also gets larger shift paddles alongside the steering wheelThe MC also gets special front and rear fascias and aero
bodywork (reducing downforce at high speed), wider fenders, and a unique hood. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a
sport exhaust, 20-inch wheels with custom-developed Pirelli tires. The GranTurismo Convertible (GranCabrio) has
nearly the same interior arrangement as the GranTurismo Coupe, but with a canvas soft top that can be opened
automatically in just 24 seconds. Convertible models also have the same amount of trunk space whether the top is up
or down--which differs from models with folding-hardtop arrangements. All GranTurismo models come with automatic
climate control, cruise control, keyless entry, real wood trim, heated seats and mirrors, rain-sensing wipers,
headlight washers, power seats (memory for the driver) and a park-assist system, plus Bluetooth hands-free
capability, voice recognition and steering-wheel audio controls in a Bose 11-speaker SurroundStage premium audio
system. Shoppers can choose from a long list of color combinations for the GranTurismo; here are six colors for the
roof alone, with three interior choices and ten different colors available for the Poltrana Frau leather seats.
Carpet and contrasting stitching are offered in six different colors and a perfectly coordinated luggage set is
also available.

2020 Maserati Ghibli getting a hybrid powertrain, start of brand revamp

Thu, Sep 26 2019

Maserati has officially announced its product plans for the next couple of years, and the company is beginning to embrace electrification. It all starts next year with the 2020 Maserati Ghibli, which will receive a hybrid powertrain. Maserati didn't specify whether it would be the only powertrain, but we would expect that it will still offer some fully gas-powered engines such as the 424-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 in the current model. In the same year, we'll finally see Maserati's next sports car that the company has confirmed will have electric power. By all accounts, it should be the production version of the Alfieri concept that made its debut five years ago. Maserati also confirmed that the Alfieri will not replace the GranTurismo. Instead, the GranTurismo will be getting a new generation. Reports say the new GranTurismo will arrive in 2021. Maserati will also add another crossover to its lineup. Reports say it will be smaller than the Levante. We should see it sometime in 2020, since early production tests will wrap up late that year and in early 2021. Maserati didn't say specifically if there will be an electrified version, but past reports would suggest at least a hybrid will be available. Finally, Maserati mentioned that Quattroporte, Levante and Ghibli will all continue on with some updates. Expect mild facelifts and powertrain updates to them over the next couple of years, rather than a major redesign. Maserati will also be developing more advanced driver assist systems, including a system similar in scope to Cadillac Super Cruise that will allow hands-free highway driving and lane changes.

Maserati orders triple on strength of Quattroporte demand in China

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Considering Maserati sold all of 6,300 cars globally in 2012, its goal of selling 50,000 by 2015 seemed like a bit of a stretch to say the least, but it turns the Fiat-owned automaker was on to something. Reuters is reporting that Maserati has already received about 17,000 orders for cars this year, with help from the new 2014 Quattroporte and strong demand in China.
The US continues to be the top market for Maserati sales, but the report quotes Harald Wester, brand chief executive, as saying that China is now the top market for Quattroporte. As big of an improvement as this is it bears mentioning that the Ghibli isn't even on sale yet and the Levante SUV, a redesigned GranTurismo and a new 911-fighting coupe are still waiting in the pipeline.

Maserati Levante Trofeo gets a twin-turbo V8 transplant from Ferrari

Wed, Mar 28 2018

With 590 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine powering the all-wheel-drive Levante Trofeo boasts more power-per-liter than any engine previously installed in a Maserati. Not surprisingly, the engine and its 156-hp-per-liter output are the product of the men from Maranello. The Ferrari-built V8 pushes the Levante Trofeo to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 187 mph. Big power isn't all that makes the Trofeo special. Maserati says its top-shelf Levante boasts a 50:50 weight distribution and a Corsa (race) mode, which means this 'ute ought to be a mighty fine steer. Launch control makes the ludicrous acceleration a repeatable affair, should drivers so desire to rearrange the faces of their passengers at every green light. Maserati Integrated Vehicle Control is supposed to seamlessly prevent driver mistakes instead of correcting them after the fact, as a traditional stability control system would do. In what we assume must be a joke, there's also an Off-Road mode. The interior of the Levante Trefeo is swathed in what Maserati calls "Pieno Fiore" natural leather that is supposed to wear uniquely with age. It's offered in black, red, and tan, all with contrast stitching. The limited launch edition you see here has massive 22-inch matte-finish wheels, matte black paint, glossy carbon fiber exterior bits and matte carbon interior trim. It'll come with a plaque featuring the owner's name and a serial number, but Maserati is only saying a "small number" will be built without giving an exact figure. We'll have to wait for official pricing information and availability, but we're sure it won't come cheap. Related Video:
