The 2008 Maserati GranTurismo doesn’t just look stunning, it promises all the performance, too, powered by the classic Maserati 4.2-liter V8, delivering 405 horsepower and a widely spread 339 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is reported to be 178 mph with 0-62 mph expected in 5.2 seconds. The GranTurismo borrows the new ZF 6-speed automatic transmission first introduced in the Quattroporte that adapts to driving style and driving conditions and allows the driver to choose from four different operating modes: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Low Grip/Auto Ice, and Manual.
The GranTurismo is Maserati’s new take on a classic touring coupe with modern, beautiful and seductive Pininfarina styling, influenced by the 75th Anniversary Birdcage concept car. The GranTurismo features a powerful stance with a large, concave grille; swept-back headlights; bold fenders and a V-shaped power bulge that sweeps back from the large Maserati trident at the center of the grille. The GranTurismo is described as giving the famed Italian marque a true grand touring car that is suitable for everyday use, while delivering excellent handling, a very sporty feel and a thrilling drive. While not a full four-seater, there is room in back for two kids or flexible and tolerant adults.
Technical Specs
Standard Engine 4.2L V8
Standard Transmission 6 Speed Automatic
Cylinders 8Horse
power @ RPM 405@7100
Torque @ RPM 339@4750 (foot-lbs)
