Maserati Granturismo S
Maserati sharpens up its big GT
Maserati has unveiled a new driver-focused version of the Granturismo – the Granturismo S.
The 4.7 litre V8 in the ‘S’ has 434bhp – a 34bhp increase over the standard car – and electro-actuated gearbox with fast MC-Shift.
The Granturismo S will be launched at Geneva next month, and features a high-performance brake system developed in collaboration with Brembo and introduced for the first time on the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S.
The system features front brake discs made with dual-cast technology – a dual casting of cast iron and aluminium, paired with aluminium mono-bloc 6-piston brake callipers.
The car has been subtely tweaked on the outside and interior upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara.
More details are expected when the car appears at the Geneva Show.
I'm confused.
Rave reviews = sales.
Any PHers with the current guise royally pissed off?
This is the more focused "sportscar" rather than GT' with the 4.7 first seen in the Alfa 8C and an uprated version of Maseratis Paddle shift box.
It'll still suffer from the basic mass of the car but I expect the suspension will be tuned differently and the extra torque will be more important than the 34HP. And the car looks even better IMHO!

Either way, just look at it - this picture is verging on erotic....
Would rather have a DB9 - and even that is a bit ungainly around the rear threequarters to my mind (heresy I know. But the rear wheel is too far away from the end of the front door).
