The new Pininfarina-styled Maserati GranTurismo will make its worldwide debut at the Geneva motor show, and the company's offering teaser pictures and a snippet of information.

Described as "a high-performance GT", the two-door GranTurismo uses the company's 4.2 litre 405bhp V8 and a front/rear weight distribution of 49 per cent / 51 per cent.

It'll be fitted with a paddle-actuated automatic gearbox -- the same that just adopted for the Quattroporte -- and an adaptive control system that adjusts gear-shifting mode to the driving style and the driving conditions.

It's a full four-seater, it'll replace the Coupé and you can expect to be able to buy one in September.

Maserati made its first GT was in 1947 when the Trident Company unveiled the Pinin Farina-designed GT, the A6, at the Geneva show. 58 were built.
