Maserati Granturismo 2012

The Maserati Granturismo powered by 4.7-liter V8 engine revised electronically, will now be charged 454 hp and 509 Nm of torque. According to the manufacturer, the model 0-100 km / h in 5 seconds to less than the normal version. Will be offered as two gearbox options, one being the standard six-speed automatic, while a six-speed sequential manual transaxle (rear axle) will be offered as optional.

The GranTurismo Convertible Sport’s cabin is upholstered in leather that was handcrafted by Poltrona Frau and a selection of prestigious wood trim used for the dashboard, door panel and rear areas. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail can also be seen in the chrome rings that enhance the dashboard switches and steering wheel as well as the Alcantara sections meeting the fingertips on the back of the steering wheel shift paddles. Unlike most convertibles, the rear seats are actually habitable by normally sized adults for short trips.

Exterior changes include a more aggressive front fascia with large air intakes flanking the pronounced grille. Additionally, the headlamps and taillamps have been smoked and LED running lights have been incorporated into the GT's eyes. Inside, there are new sport seats and a revised steering wheel.


Besides a contingent of air bags, including front, side and side curtain units, the GranTurismo Convertible Sport is outfitted with deployable roll bars mounted behind the rear seats that automatically rise in just 190 milliseconds in the event of a rollover incident. Traction and stability control systems are also fitted as standard, as is ABS.
