Engineered from its core as a genuine high-performance automobile, Maserati is one of the most famous and storied names in automotive history. With a heritage that stretches back more than ninety years, and motorsports achievements that include two wins in the Indianapolis 500 and a Formula One World Championship, Maserati road cars display an unparalleled blending of performance and luxury.
Today’s Maseratis combine legendary race-derived responsiveness with handcrafted quality and an elegant sweeping design aesthetic that celebrates their Italian bloodline. Literally born on the race track, Maserati continues to apply knowledge gained in its championship-winning competition cars to its street cars.
These competition design features give the modern line of two and four-door Maseratis incomparable handling and performance. Primary among these features are the cars’ fundamental front-mid engine design – the engine sits low and behind the front axle – creating up to a 53% rear-weight bias for superior balance and handling.
Maserati passengers enjoy a sumptuous and tactile interior, swathed in hand-stitched Poltrona Frau leather. Other exquisite interior details include wood inlays, Alcantara suede trim, chrome accents, and the Trident logo, which is hand-crafted into each headrest. Maserati offers limited production and expansive personalization, allowing owners to create one of a kind cars built to their taste and style.
Maserati GranTurismo
The first gran turismo, the Maserati A6, was created for discerning enthusiasts in 1947. In a nod to history and tradition, once again Maserati and Pininfarina have partnered to produce a timeless design. Inspired by the A6 of the past and Maserati’s award-winning Birdcage 75 concept car, the result has been declared a “modern masterpiece.” The new GranTurismo is a true GT, combining thoroughbred performance with segment-leading comfort for four passengers.
Maserati GranTurismo S
The Maserati GranTurismo S represents the ultimate expression of the marque’s design expertise in building passionate, driver-focused sports-luxury cars. The new Ferrari-built 4.7 liter V8 engine, transaxle mounted electro-actuated gearbox, sport exhaust and segment first dual-cast brakes make the GranTurismo S the ideal choice for the sports driving enthusiast. The GranTurismo S is a truly focused machine, and will be produced in limited numbers for the 2009 model year only.
Maserati Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte is an unmistakable and multiple award-winning sedan, including two Robb Report ‘Best of the Best’ awards – the first sedan to ever claim repeat trophies. Offering exclusivity, performance and style not possible from its competitors, the Quattroporte’s sleek Pininfarina shape creates a sense of occasion wherever it goes. Tapping its racing core, the Quattroporte’s ZF 6 speed automatic transmission, Brembo brakes and Ferrari-built 400 horsepower engine give it authentic track-derived performance.
Quattroporte S
The Quattroporte S gives the Quattroporte customer an uncompromising sport sedan with performance and handling taken to the highest level. The Quattroporte S features the new and more powerful 4.7 liter V8 engine from the GranTurismo S developing 425 horsepower and mated to the ZF automatic transmission. With unmatched handling, supercar level braking, and an engine designed and built for Maserati by Ferrari the ‘S’ is the ultimate sport sedan.
Descendents of legendary racing champions, today’s Maseratis possess an incomparable automotive DNA, one that makes every drive, long or short, a trip to the race track.
