2008 Maserati GranTurismo

The GranTurismo is powered by the same Ferrari-sourced 405-hp 4.2L V8 engine currently under the bonnet of the flagship sedan. It is altogether possible that the new GT will inherit the new 4.7L Maserati V8 that is presently used in the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

The Maserati GranTurismo is a classic touring coupe with modern styling that gives the famed Italian marque a true grand touring car. Suitable for everyday use, the Gran Turismo delivers excellent handling, a very sporty feel and a thrilling drive.

2008 Maserati GranTurismo Reviews:

leftlanenews reviewed the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo and gave out”Maserati’s tradition of the Gran Turismo concept dates back to 1947 when the Trident Company, following its clients’ demand, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show its first Gran Turismo, the A6, designed by the great Pinin Farina. It was the first Maserati road car and was produced in 58 units.”

edmunds reviewed the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo and gave out”With a platform converted from the rear-transaxle configuration necessary for the automated manual gearbox to the front-mounted automatic transmission, the GranTurismo should provide enough rear-seat space to make it something more than a cramped 2+2. Nevertheless, we expect a weight distribution of 49 percent front/51 percent rear, which should ensure excellent maneuverability.”
