Don't be fooled by the heavy camouflage; underneath the plastic black wrap hides the forthcoming GranTurismo Spyder that will be given the same-style retractable metal roof as its "sister" model, the Ferrari California. As you can see in our high-res image gallery below, our spy photographers have even managed to scoop a partially undisguised test mule revealing the GranTurismo Spyder's two-piece

The crew over at Hamann Motorsports has developed a new series of aluminum wheel designs for the 2009 BMW 7-Series sedan and the sinfully beautiful, Maserati Granturismo. In particular, Hamman introduced two different alloy wheel designs for the Bimmer and one set of 21-inch alloys for Italian coupe, all of which are available exclusively in a black finish.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse Concept is re-engineered racing version of the GranTurismo S, and is the meanest Maserati I’ve seen yet. ( Sans the MC12 Corse, of course ). Developed as true track car, the MC Corse received a flurry of performance enhancements to the base engine that was derived from the GrantTurismo S. [...]

The world was stunned when Maserati unveiled the GranTurismo at the 2007 Geneva motor show, but as beautiful as it is, critics said it wasn't tough enough to take down the competition. The folks from Modena were evidently listening, and one year later laid the beefed-up GranTurismo S on us, complete with 440-hp engine straight out of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.We brought you a slew of images b
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. The ultimate expression of the Trident coupé's sportiness shifts the emphasis onto performance and driving enjoyment. Two main novelties are at the heart of the new Maserati: the 440 HP V8 4.7 engine and the electro-actuated gearbox with fa

Tracing its genetic code to the Ferrari F430, the Alfa Romeo 8C, and Andrea Pininfarina himself, Maserati’s latest luxo-coupe is a Modenese masterpiece.
Of the seven Maserati brothers, six became renowned mechanics and engineers. The black sheep of the family—Mario—instead became a painter, although he left an indelible mark on [...]
No segmento de carros superesportivos apenas três marcas competem no Brasil. No topo fica a glamourosa Ferrari, na “base” a respeitada Porsche e, entre as duas, está a Maserati. Nenhuma das três marcas brigam diretamente, por conta dos preços distintos — mas lutam pela preferência do público mais abastado do país.
É exatamente aqui que entra [...]
Italian is a wonderful language, with rich, mellifluous syllables that roll around the tongue like vintage wine, making the mundane sound magical, the descriptive delightful. Maserati Quattroporte sounds like someone spent a lot of time finding a cool name for a hugely charismatic luxury sedan. Actually, they named it for what it is: a [...]
After the world premiere at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, the 2009 Maserati GranTurismo S arrives to the American market during the 2008 New York Auto Show.

2007 is a very interesting year for Maserati, because Maserati made profit for the first time in the last 17 years. For the 2008 we can safely say that will be even more interesting because of the new model GranTurismo.

This car oozes. What does it ooze? It oozes sex appeal. It oozes sensuality that only the Italians could derive from a vehicle and it does it with an incredible amount of intimidating presence. We’ll stop with the ‘oozes’ now.

Maserati has officially revealed its performance-oriented GranTurismo S, following the leak of two images online. The GranTurismo debuted a year earlier at the European show, so it seems fitting this sportier variant will break cover at the same venue.The GranTurismo S is powered by a 4.7 liter V8 in place of the regular GT's 4.2 liter unit. Output is 440 horsepower — a nice boost from the standard 405 horses.An advanced MC-Shift dual-clutch transmission will replace the ZF six-speed automatic.New high-power Brembo brakes will improve stopping distance. 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 calipersThe exterior has some subtle visual enhancements, and the interior is
It is a pity that there is apparently no loophole in UK law that would allow the new 4.2litre V8 Maserati GranTurismo — one of the world’s most handsome four-seat coupés — to be classed as a motorcycle, because if it was, it would not require a front numberplate. The alternative is plainly for Maserati vigorously to lobby MPs and get the Vehicle Aesthetics (Full Frontal, Particularly Maserati)
Maserati’s new four-seat GranTurismo sports coupe is set to stun crowds at the 2007 Australian International Motor Show at Sydney next month.
The Pininfarina-styled Maserati GranTurismo’s considerable length (4881mm) is complemented by its design, which delivers an undeniably strong visual impact as well as luxury and exclusivity, according to Maserati’s Australia and New Zealand general manager, Edward Butler.
With more than 100 Australian customers already in the queue, the GranTurismo set to be one of the most successful Maseratis ever sold here.
A high-performance sports car, the GranTurismo boasts some impressive figures.
Its 4.2-litre V8 engine produces 405bhp (around 302kW) at 7100rpm, and a maximum torque of 460Nm at 4750rpm, of which 75 per cent is already achievable at 2500rpm.
Its maximum speed is 285km/h, and it accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds.
Mr Butler said the GranTurismo was a remarkable blend of excellent handling and performance, and

At the Chicago Auto Show, Maserati PR man Jeffrey Ehoodin said "We are not an exotic." In case that didn't get the message across, Maserati has put its money where its mouth is, pricing the new GranTurismo at $95,000. That slots the Maser in above the Jaguar XKR convertible and below the BMW M6 Coupe and Mercedes CL.[Source: Autoblog]Continued- ArticleMaserati discovered that people thought their cars were as expensive as DB9's and Continental GT's. That's great for the prestige stakes, but awful for the bottom line. The GranTurismo is, in fact, $18K cheaper than the cheapest Aston Martin, the V8 Vantage. Though the Maserati is short 15 hp to and .7 seconds slower to 60 than the XKR, what you get instead is a rolling sculpture designed by the man who penned the 599, usable rear seats, and the Maserati cachet that everyone else seems to think costs so much. And even though you don't see too many XKR's on the road, you're guaranteed to see even few GranTurismos -- if you're into
These are the first images of Maserati's new GT Coupe, revealed ahead of the car's official debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show. The stunning lines were penned by Italian design studio Pininfarina, clearly taking inspiration from Maserati's larger Quattroporte sedan. A near-perfect 49/51 weight distribution combined with an upgraded 400hp 4.2L V8 motor is sure to provide scintillating performance.Just like the Quattroporte saloon, the new coupe gets a modern take on the Buickesque three-hole side vents with a sharper more angular appearance. Muscular flared wheel arches house huge multispoke alloys featuring Masearti's trademark trident logo. The new interior, which was also designed by Pininfarina, features a leather lined dash and center console that runs the entire length of the cabin, while the conventional handbrake is replaced with a foot operated pedal next to the brake.
