Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, 2010
Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, 2010
The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S sets yet another milestone in terms of sportiness in the high performance luxury saloon segment of the automotive market. Conceived and developed as "a real driving machine in the guise of a luxury saloon", the Quattroporte Sport GT S is the ultimate expression of Maserati's sportiness in the Quattroporte range.
The technical changes to the new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S in respect to the Quattroporte S concern four areas:
* the mapping of the V8 4.7 litre engine, with power increased to 323kW;
* the gearshift management software, with new features designed to increase driving enjoyment;
* the front and rear suspension system featuring single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height;
* the sports exhaust controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound.
The sportier and more aggressive look is evident due to the interior and exterior stylistic choices:
* the new black grille with concave vertical fins featuring the Trident logo with red accents, typical of the sportier versions of Maserati models;
* the new headlights, in metallic titanium finish;
* the side and rear "shadow line", which includes black finishing around the doors, body-coloured door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes;
* the new M-design seats with perforated Alcantara and leather upholstery;
* the standard trim in Titantex, a "titanium coloured" composite material.

Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic, 2010
Maserati's commitment to introduce a new model at each international car show, the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic will première at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show. The new Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic features a 4.7 V8 which develops 440 HP (323kW) at 7000 rpm. The maximum torque is 490Nm at 4.750 rpm.
The major novelty is the combination of the automatic transmission with the most powerful wet sump Maserati V8 on the GranTurismo - until now offered as 4.2 l with automatic transmission and 4.7 l with an electro-actuated gearbox. Thanks to the combination of the 323kW produced by the powerful 4.7l V8 engine and the smoothness of the ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox, the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic stresses the original granturismo concept while at the same time offering peak performance.
The Skyhook suspension system featuring continuously adjustable dampers provides great driving comfort. Passive safety is further enhanced thanks to the introduction on the Maserati GranTurismo range of a new generation passenger air-bag with Low Risk Deployment functionality.
Consistently with the unmistakable design of all Maseratis, the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic features some marked stylistic differences which make it immediately recognisable: the new under-door mini-skirts featuring a prominent shape, which enhances the dynamism of its profile and the new 20" wheel rims with "Trident" design, which recall the strength and elegance of the car.
