This is the new Maserati GranTurismo Sport, a more powerful and more
aggressively styled version of the Trident’s big GT that will be
unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March 2012.
How is the Maserati GranTurismo Sport different from all Maserati’s other GranTurismo models?
The GranTurismo Sport effectively replaces the GranTurismo S, and sits one rung below the hardcore GranTurismo MC Stradale.
The GranTurismo Sport doesn’t have the stripped-interior (and thus
110kg weight saving) of the MC Stradale, but its does inherit the
flagship’s styling. Most notably pinched is the smiling front bumper
that feeds air to both the engine and brakes.
There are also new headlamps with LED daytime running lights (a first
for Maserati), while the rear taillights are now tinted darker. The
front and rear seats, Maserati says, have been completely redesigned,
and there’s a new steering wheel with ‘a more sporty and muscular look’.
As for the extra power, the 4.7-litre V8 has now been tweaked to deliver 454bhp, 10bhp more than the MC Stradale and Grancabrio Sport, and 20bhp more than the old GranTurismo S.
The GranTurismo Sport will be officially revealed to the world at the
2012 Geneva motor show in March, before production starts in September
2012, at which point the GranTurismo S will be phased out.
