Maserati GranTurismo 2018: Pininfarina's latest work delivers 460 CV

Maserati has unveiled the GranTurismo 2018 at the New York Stock Exchange building. The coupé sports car was designed by Pininfarina and will be available in two distinct versions: Sport and MC.

The 2018 Maserati GranTurismo features a naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V8 engine, a unit handcrafted at the Ferrari factory in Maranello that delivers 460 CV at 7,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 520 Nm at 4,750 rpm. This powertrain is paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. The performance of the MY 2018 GranTurismo has been slightly improved over its predecessor.

The GranTurismo Sport accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds (0.3 seconds quicker than its predecessor) and reaches a top speed of 299 km/h (2 km/h more than its successor), while the lightweight version of the sports car, the MC, does 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds (one tenth less than its predecessor) and reaches a maximum speed of 301 km/h (2 km/h more than the previous version).

The new GranTurismo is the last Maserati designed by Pininfarina. The new hexagonal “shark nose” grille is inspired by the Alfieri concept and adds a three-dimensional effect to the front end. Together with the new lower air intakes, the grille helps improve airflow distribution and reduces the drag coefficient from 0.33 to 0.32. The rear bumper has also been redesigned to emphasise the natural elegance of the GT coupé.

The GranTurismo features a high-resolution 8.4” screen and a Harman Kardon sound system. The new infotainment system supports smartphone mirroring for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the centre console has been reshaped to house a double rotary selector finished in forged aluminium.
