Maserati GranTurismo S A year after the unveiling of the GranTurismo, Maserati will be back at the Geneva International Motorshow with yet another world premiere, the GranTurismo S.

Two main novelties are at the heart of the new Maserati: the 440-horsepower V8 4.7-liter engine and the electro-actuated gearbox with fast MC-Shift arranged in the Transaxle layout typical of high-performance sports cars that represents the technological DNA of all Maseratis.

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 aluminum, paired with aluminum mono-bloc 6-piston brake calipers, ensuring optimized braking performance.

The exterior has a number of aesthetic modifications that, although discrete, make the car body appear sportier without abandoning the sleekness of the lines masterfully designed by Pininfarina. The interior is upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara adds to the sporty flair of the Maserati GranTurismo S.
