Maserati Gran Turismo S debut

Following on from last year's world premiere of the GranTurismo, Maserati is set to return to the Geneva Motor Show with another sleek Pininfarina designed coupe in tow - the 440 hp V8 GranTurismo S.

The new high-performance sportscar's 4.7 liter engine is married to an electro-actuated gearbox with fast MC-Shift arranged in the transaxle layout. The high-performance brake system, developed in collaboration with Brembo and first seen on the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, 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 callipers, ensuring optimized braking performance.

The interior upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara, includes newly-designed, figure-hugging front and rear seats with horizontal piping on the seats and seatbacks. Only minimal "aesthetic" changes are visible from the outside with the objective being to create a sporty impression without impacting on the slick Pininfarina design.
