The Trident has made its points, again.
Meet the Maserati GranTurismo.
Grand touring cars combine power with roadability, strength with elegance, assurance with grace. They meet the road with the panache of a race car and the dependability of the family car. They're long distance and shorttrip to the market, regal as well as every day. They can show it off on the track, the autobahn-or to the in-laws, due in on the 5:15 at the airport with all of their baggage.
The new four-seater from the great Italian automaker delivers all of these qualities: 405 horsepower from a 4.2 liter Ferrari-derive power train from Maranello, Italy; extraordinary weight distribution (49 percent front and 51 percent rear); |

Pininfarina styling; and on-board luxury equal to that available on any vehicle in the world.
"For styling and power, craftsmanship and elegance, this new Maserati will be a significant factor in the luxury performance car market," says Chris Pauken, sales consultant with Scottsdale Ferrari-Maserati-Aston Martin, 6825 E. McDowell Road. "For price/value, it simply can't be equaled."
Unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show in March (following the January debut of the Quattroporte Automatic), the GranTurismo appeared first in the United States at April's New York International Auto Show and appeared in pre-production trim at the Meadowbrook and Pebble Beach Concours. Everywhere it drove in, it moved enthusiasts. |
