2012 Maserati Gran Turismo Pininfarina on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
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 wheel The 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.

Maserati bringing new sports car concept to Geneva?
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Maserati is in the midst of a major product overhaul. The Quattroporte was recently redone, the Ghibli is a fresh new model and the Levante crossover is still in the pipeline. But what about its two-door line? Surely Maserati hasn't forgotten about those, right?
Not according to the latest gossip, it hasn't. Word has it that in celebration of its centenary this year, the Trident marque is preparing a new sports car concept to unveil at the Geneva Motor Show. Apparently smaller than the aging GranTurismo, the new concept is said to take aim at the Jaguar F-Type - not to mention the Porsche 911.
According to GTSpirit, the concept could pack the Modenese automaker's new twin-turbo V6 or V8 engines, but no matter how many cylinders, it's understood we're likely looking at a front-engine/rear-drive layout and an automatic transmission.
Maserati rapidly expanding dealer network
Mon, 13 Oct 2014With the new Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans out on the market, and the new Levante crossover and Alfieri coupe on their way, Maserati is making serious headway towards revitalizing its lineup. Now all it needs in order to reach its ambitious sales targets is to expand the network of dealers where they're to be sold. And according to Maserati chief Harald Wester in speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, that's exactly what it has in store.
At the end of last year, Maserati had 79 dealerships across the United States. It has already boosted that number to 100 so far this year, but before 2014 is over, it plans to open another 20 to bring the total up to (carry the two, divide by the square-root of Pi)... 120 showrooms.
Globally speaking, Maserati reportedly closed 2012 with around 220-230 dealers around the world, and currently has about 355, but aims to close 2015 with a worldwide network of 450 dealers, representing a doubling of its network in two years' time. Having more than a quarter of those in the US alone is testament to how seriously Maserati takes the American market.
2014 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 [w/video]
Wed, 12 Mar 2014For one reason or another, this is a car people stare at. They might be drawn to its curvaceous shape riding on immense wheels. They could be intrigued by its gaping, blacked-out grille which houses an equally outsized trident logo, or doing quick calculations about the last time they saw a car wearing the name Maserati. It may be its sports-car-like proportions mixed with achingly long, four-door bodywork that draws their eye.
Or, and I urge you to consider this theory carefully, the people taking notice of this Maserati Ghibli S Q4 might simply be newly alert after hearing the sound of its exhaust ricocheting off any solid thing nearby as I drive past grinning like a certified asshat. Did you hear an Italianate engine song careening through your Ann Arbor, MI neighborhood, in the black of the early morning, just a few weeks previous? Sorry, guy, that was probably me.
I spent a week hammering this all-wheel-drive Ghibli as hard as I dared in the last truly miserable stretch of the God Awful Winter of 2014. I can honestly say that I enjoyed myself, shocked at both the frank way this new challenger luxury car went down the road as well as the attention it garnered in the process.
