• Paddle shift automatic

• Almost-new Pirelli P-Zero tyres

Overview

The Maserati GranTurismo was launched in 2007 as a true grand tourer, blending Italian flair with long-distance comfort and performance. The S followed soon after, featuring the potent 4.7-litre V8 engine, producing 440 bhp and enabling a 0-62mph sprint in just 4.9 seconds. The GranTurismo's sleek Pininfarina-designed coupe body showcases Maserati's signature style, while the spacious four-seat interior offers luxurious accommodations for all occupants.

Replacing the outgoing 4200, the GranTurismo was based on a shortened Quattroporte platform, with a rear-biased weight distribution in the service of handling dynamics. The S variant that we see here received upgrades including larger Brembo brakes, and more aggressive exterior styling cues. With its sonorous V8 soundtrack and capable grand touring capabilities, the GranTurismo S strikes a perfect balance between performance and refinement.

This particular GranTurismo S has been meticulously maintained, with an extensive service history from reputable Maserati specialists. Recent major works include suspension and brake overhauls, ensuring the car drives and handles as intended. The almost-new Pirelli P-Zero tyres and carbon fibre interior trim further enhance the driving experience and overall luxury ambiance. With its powerful yet refined demeanor, this GranTurismo S represents an excellent opportunity for discerning enthusiasts seeking a true Italian grand tourer.
