  • Page 8: Authenticity

    AUTHENTI C IT Y IT WAS 1947. The Original idea of installing a racing engine in a roadgoing car gave birth to the famed A6 1500 GT Pininfarina, the first Maserati Granturismo. Ever since, Maserati has led the world in the construction of cars with unmistakable class and thrilling performance - exciting to drive, comfortable on–board, and featuring the very highest levels of safety.

  • Page 13: Design

    With its decisive personality and blend of power and elegance, the Maserati GranTurismo is a modern day masterpiece. What’s more, its style and design are combined with a presence of unrivalled physicality and drama. Inspired by the Maserati Birdcage 75 concept car, the exterior appears muscular, with a natural fluidity that starts at the front grille and extends all the way along the sides to the tail lights.
  • Page 14 The imposing and dynamic front culminates in the oval grille, alongside the headlights which extend horizontally and blend perfectly into the front end. The grille, which comprises vertical concave slats, is adorned with a chrome Trident that appears to be suspended in the middle. The long bonnet, with the classic “V” shape, has three air intakes on each side in classic Maserati style, which lighten the nose section and give an overall image of dynamism and verve.
  • Page 16 It is impossible not to notice the thoroughbred quality of the lines: Pininfarina’s skilful hand has given the Maserati GranTurismo S a modern, aggressive profile, which is as elegant as it is innovative.
  • Page 19 DE S IG N AN ATHLETIC LOOK FOR THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO S AUTOMATIC Lean and athletic, the Maserati GranTurismo S is immediately recognisable by a series of stylistic details that underline its sporting nature. From the attractive black colour of the grille and 7-spoke 20” rims, from the integrated sideskirts to the distinctive spoiler incorporated in the boot lid: all this not only gives the car a decidedly sportier, more aggressive character, but also increases its aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Page 21 MASERATI GRANTURISMO S ILLUSTRATED...
  • Page 22 The Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic is characterised by the new side-skirts with a prominent profile, a discrete and streamlined design that enhances the dynamic look of the car. The 20” rims are a truly unique design; the spokes have the distinctive form of the Maserati Trident, symbolising power and elegance.

The on-board experience is unparalleled, both for the driver and...

  • Page 30 Both the electrically operated front seats are designed with a sports configuration of both the squab and the seat-back. Again the classic Maserati “V” shape adorns these body-enveloping seats. Guaranteeing a high degree of comfort and supporting the top half of the body and legs when negotiating bends at high speed, they can be further upgraded with three-temperature settings and automatic raising/lowering of the steering column to give the driver an easier entry and exit.
  • Page 31 When travelling over long distances, it is a pleasure to find that the car’s interior offers all the luxury of one’s own home; Maserati offers its customers the choice of a vast selection of materials and colour combinations, to create an environment...
  • Page 33 When you sit at the wheel of a car with such high-performance capability as the Maserati GranTurismo S, it is important to feel absolutely comfortable, secure and in control. What makes the interior of the Maserati GranTurismo S even more unique is the huge range of personalisation options. There is a choice of prestigious materials on offer: Walnut Briarwood, Rosewood, Polished Wenge, Padouk, Moonwood and Carbalho, as well as a selection of high gloss finishes and Dark Chrome.

  • Page 36: Technology

    SOME CARS, LIKE THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO OWN THEM, HAVE PERSONALITY, CHARISMA AND A GREAT HEART The vital pulse of the Maserati GranTurismo comes from its V8 engine. The masterly design of this engine ensures power and rapidity, typical of the competition engines from which Maserati has always drawn its inspiration.
  • Page 39 - 298 kW Compact, light (just 180 kg) and enormously responsive, the 4.2 litre Maserati V8 can deliver 405 Hp at 7,100 revs, equivalent to a specific power of 96.4 Eu Hp/Litre, and maximum torque of 460 Nm at 4,750 revs, of which 75% is developed at just 2,500 revs.
  • Page 40 The exhaust system connected to the V8 power unit uses metal catalysers rather than those made of ceramic material, just like on racing engines. Driving a Maserati GranTurismo, the customer is behind the wheel of a car that meets the most stringent anti-pollution laws, without having to compromise in terms of performance.
  • Page 44 Gearchanging takes place at very high engine speeds and, thanks to a “fuel control” engine strategy specially developed for the Maserati GranTurismo, the changes are 40% faster than in Normal Mode. Automatic downshifts are tuned to change to a lower gear when lifting off as a bend approaches; this maximises control through the bend and provides extra speed on the exit.
  • Page 45 (Active Shifting). The driver can change from using the gear shift lever to the steering wheel paddles (leaving the gear lever in the “+”/“-” position) at any time. The steering wheel paddles used by Maserati differ from all other similar systems because they are truly user-friendly, thanks to their size and ergonomic positioning.
  • Page 47 A state-of-the-art wet sump powerplant: the powerful new 4.7 litre V8 engine, can generate 440 Hp at 7,000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 490 Nm at 4,750 rpm. Specially developed to increase the car’s performance and make the Maserati GranTurismo S an even more thrilling driving experience, it soars to 7,500 rpm, with a rev limiter set at 7,600 rpm.
  • Page 49 MASERATI GRANTURISMO S TRANSAXLE...
  • Page 50 THE NEW SEQUENTIAL ROBOTIC GEARBOX To make full use of all the power of the new Maserati 4.7 litre V8 and ensure the car meets all the driver’s expectations, the Maserati GranTurismo S is equipped with a 6-speed sequential robotic gearbox with twin dry-plate clutch.
  • Page 51 TECH NO LO GY MANUAL SPORT WITH MC-SHIFT FUNCTION The MC-Shift function is the most important new feature provided by the Maserati GranTurismo S’s sequential robotic gearbox: this is a new control software that reduces shift times to as little as 100 milliseconds.
  • Page 53 The Skyhook* system gives the Maserati owner another advantage - it lets you adapt the dynamic behaviour of the car to your own driving style and to road conditions, by simply choosing between two different settings, Normal and Sport (selected via the SPORT button).
  • Page 54 The normally red calipers of the Maserati GranTurismo S are also available in 5 customised shades: Titanium and Yellow for a more striking look, Silver and Dark Blue for a more elegant effect, and classical Black. An anodised red treatment has been added to these, one developed to harmonise best with the three new opaque bodywork tints.
  • Page 57 MASERATI GRANTURISMO S...
  • Page 58 FLUID MOVEMENT, TOTAL CONTROL With the Maserati GranTurismo, visibility is second to none. The Adaptive Light Control increases the already high level of efficiency of the bi-xenon headlights, thanks to a special rotating mechanism. This function lights up the road and the verges, increasing night-time cornering safety. The electronic unit controlling the full and dipped beams instantly receives information on the steering angle, yaw, and speed, and adjusts electrical devices inside the headlights to turn the beams in the appropriate direction.
  • Page 61 TEC HN OL OG Y The Maserati GranTurismo is equipped with the Multi Media System (MMS): thanks to the large 7 inch colour TFT high resolution display at the centre of the dashboard, you can display the functions of the satellite navigation system with TMC Premium (where available), the CD player, the radio with USB port, Bluetooth ®...

    • Brembo brakes with four drilled self-ventilating 330 mm discs have fixed calipers with four pistons and offer unbeatable stopping power* • Exclusive Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) stability control system includes ABS, EBD and ASR • EPB electronic parking brake.
  • Page 66 But the pleasure of powerful acceleration would be nothing without the decisive braking capacity of the Brembo system. The Maserati GranTurismo offers impressive performance in its brakes’ capabilities, and in their resistance to fade under intense use: the car boasts a stopping distance of just 35 metres from 62 mph to 0 mph, with an average deceleration of 1.24 g.
  • Page 67 The system displays the tyre pressures on the instrument cluster, and warns the driver if they drop below a minimum level, or in the case of a puncture. To make hill starts easier, the Maserati GranTurismo makes use of the Hill Holder, a device which, on sloping roads, keeps the vehicle braked for a few seconds, so the driver can move their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the car rolling back.
  • Page 68 The six airbag system on the Maserati GranTurismo has four individual sensors in the front and sides of the car, and on a control unit located near the central tunnel. Thanks to the sensors of the two front airbags (both dual-stage), the inflation is always directly proportional to the force of the impact.
