maserati granturismo interior

In the Maserati GranTurismo convertible the attention to detail is everywhere and revealed in features such as the subtle chrome inlay that elegantly decorates the dashboard and steering wheel's buttons, the hand-crafted Trident logo on the seat headrests, the Alcantara® trim lining the back of the gear shift paddles and the visible stitching in the front and rear armrest.



The GranTurismo Convertible interior is almost exclusively done with Poltrona Frau™ leather, a true expression of Italian craftsmanship thanks to the superior quality of its row material and fabrication process. The leather refined process guarantees durability, strength and a soft material. The leather is available in ten colors to offer compelling combinations for the seats, dashboard, tonneau cover, steering wheel and gear level knob, all of which can be contrasted with the colors of the thread and carpets.




Dashboard and doors panel can also be personalized: the standard dark grey trim can be tailored with darker technical colors for a more sporting feeling, whether an array of standard precious wood create the warm and elegant look of a classic Italian automobile. In the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, clients can now choose from two additional personalization materials such as Carbalho wood, with its characteristic sectioned patterns, and Moonwood with its linear grains. Carbalho is a very unique wood from Brazil characterized by medium density and high porosity. By contrast, Moonwood is a multi-layer composite wood with a light color and pinkish grain which exceptionally suits the car interior. Even the carpets are customizable and clients can choose from seven different colors.



A new set of custom-fit luggage have been created for the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible. Available in leather or combination of leather/fabric, the luggage is offered in blue, black, red, brown and beige. The basic luggage set is designed to perfectly fit the trunk of the Maserati Convertible and it is composed by men's and women's roller bags and beauty cases. An additional case is also available for loading onto the rear seats.



In addition to infinitive customizations options for their new vehicle, Maserati owners can enjoy exclusive driving experience such as the Maserati Driving Courses in Italy. Thru the Master Maserati Driving Courses, Maserati offers to all its clients the opportunity to experience the thrill of driving the latest models in the "home" race track of Varano de' Melegari, few miles from the Maserati Headquarters. The Master Driving Courses are designed to teach how to properly handle a Maserati while still pushing and controlling its complete powerful fleet to its limit under a professional guidance and safety environment.

Having been developed from a race car, the Maserati GranTurismo MC is unusually exciting and responsive thanks to its engine, which is more powerful than the one featured in the GranTurismo S, its improved suspension and aerodynamics which make the GranTurismo MC feel more agile than ever.

The GranTurismo MC heart is its 4.7 L V8 engine featuring 444 hp at 7,000 rpm. Power, flexibility and instant response at cornering are secured by the car's 376 lb-ft torque at 4,750 rpm with a steeper curve at low revs. A reduced friction is guaranteed by the redesigned oil sump fluid dynamics and DLC coating ( Diamond- like Coating) on the tappets and camshaft lobes. The result is a smoother and more powerful engine with reduced consumption and, consequently, lower emissions.





Just like the GranTurismo S, the alloy engine with steel cylinder liners is exceptionally light and compact especially along the car's longitudinal axis. Optimized dynamics are provided thanks also to the single timing system which gives a lighter response, improved reliability and reduced consumption. In line with Maserati's most recent philosophy, the engine features a wet sump lubrication system, which allow to reduce the number of oil recovery pumps and extraneous noise: all with the goal of reaching an ideal combination between comfort and sporting performance.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC cabin features details to create a special environment of comfort, style and excitement, such as the seats clad in fine Italian Poltrona Frau leather, the combination of leather and Alcantara® interior trim, a redesigned instrument panel and a new dashboard layout. The front seats have the Maserati Trident embroidered on the headrests and offer excellent support under all driving conditions. The overall dashboard styling is very different from the one of the GranTurismo S: in line with the MC more sporting concept, the luxury oriented chrome detailing has been replaced with a more racing aesthetic in black. Alcantara® covers the central console, the central armrest, the door panel armrests, handles and the dashboard binnacle hood.

The evolution of the GranTurismo MC interior has also transformed the instrument panel, where the Maserati's traditional blue background has been replaced by purposeful black with completely new white graphics.

In the Maserati GranTurismo MC both the driver and the passenger are able to enjoy the car's exceptional comfort and attention to details. The front seats are designed to provide outstanding comfort and good lateral support at high speed cornering. They also ensure an ergonomic seating posture which prevent fatigue even during long drives.

Grace and Poise With Maserati Gran Turismo

Maserati's third offspring in the Trident series is the Gran Turismo S Automatic. It is a perfect combination of the 433hp, 32-valve, Ferrari V8 engine along with an automated 6-speed ZF gearbox.

It is a modified version of the earlier Gran Turismo, both in its functionality and looks. The wheels with the state-of-the-art flow-formed cast aluminum rims are sure to be noticed on the streets. Adding to its fury is the prominent rocker panels which seem like burning fire while on the go. The interior face-lifts are also varied with a new range of leather colors to choose from. The wood and metal textures in the interior have also been improved than its earlier versions.

Drive away in style with this Y speed rated sports car. Make sure that you have a look at your tachometer, at 7500rpm redline, you are on the roll. Maximum torque is attained at 3000 rpm till 7000 rpm. If you are looking for a valid reason to replace your Ferrari for a GT, then you should sure consider its gusto factor. It's better than a Ferrari due to its wet-sump lubrication, restricted valve timing and 90-degree crankshaft. Go on and compete with Porsche or Ferrari, and Maserati's Gran Turismo will never let you down. Even at the maximum speed, the engine maintains its matured and tuned tone without howling or growling. This has been made possible with its tuned engine pipes, mufflers and the X-shaped pipe connectors.







Rebuilt with superior Italian modeling technology, the new Gran Turismo has broken apart the GT drive line tradition of attaching the gearbox to the final-drive through a rear-mounted transaxle. In this new edition GT S, the automatic gearbox is integrated directly to the V8 engine. To keep up to the tradition, the model still maintains its classical most loved attributes. Maserati has stuck to the favorite GT aluminium pedals with its textured surfaces and lightening holes. Leather finish vinyl has been used to style the interior instrument panels for that rich and classy look. Slight modifications have been made to the Maserati Media System, to keep up to the trend. It has been upgraded with a satellite for radio reception, Bluetooth mobile connectivity, better navigation display for traffic information and a cable port.










As in sports game cars, the power steering is loose and free on the straight road and gains that extra power on the turns. You will have to use a good deal of your muscle power to ride this Maserati through a mountain uphill and at hair pin turns. But with its Skyhook technology, the coupe sensing systems promptly adjusts the damping and the residents will never experience any discomforts while on road ripples or any other kind of harshness while on the drive. Yet a small matter of discomfort has been lack of lateral support in the seating.

With a weight of over two tons, it is a hard drive machine. Maserati's Gran Turismo has very few competitors to compete with its speed and grace. The coupe is worth the price due to its unmatched graceful moves even at the maximum speed.
