Maserati chose the 2012 Geneva Motor Show to drop its new GranTurismo Sport, the model that is set to replace the current GranTurismo S. The new Maserati GranTurismo Sport adds increased performance and an elegant overall restyling that stresses its sporty nature. The car displayed at the Geneva Show is painted in a brand new color called "Blu Sofisticato" which shows off the car’s lines to the best advantage.
The new Maserati GranTurismo Sport is powered by the same 4.7-liter V8 engine found in the current GranTurismo S, but massaged to deliver an extra 20 HP. This leaves it with 460 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque. With the extra 20 HP, the new sports coupe will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, up to a top speed of 186 mph.
The engine can be mated to either a ZF 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed electro actuated gearbox, with dry twin-plate clutch (not available in North America). There is also a Sport Skyhook suspension system that makes the car even more reactive and fun to drive with two modes to choose from "Normal" and "Sport." "Normal" mode constantly adapts the damping to absorb the roughness of the surface for a smoother ride and "Sport" mode makes the car ultra-sensitive to the driver’s input.
The new Maserati Granturismo Sport features a redesigned front bumper that improves the air flow and the cooling of the front brakes, while the space between the new headlamps and the tradition oval grille is united by a new styling element. On the center of the grille, you will find a chromed trident with red accents, while the front light cluster have been completely redesigned and improved thanks to the addition of DRL LED technology. For the rear, Maserati has added restyled, darker light clusters.
The new Maserati GranTurismo Sport sits on a new set of 20" Astro Design alloy wheels combined with an impressive braking system which employs Brembo dual-cast technology coupled with 6-piston brake calipers at the front and 4-piston brake calipers at the rear.
The interior was also redesigned to offer a sportier feeling. The front and the rear seats received a more ergonomic design to offer better support and optimized comfort for driver and passengers. The steering wheel has also been redesigned - it is now even more ergonomic and better suited to sports driving. Maserati chose to update other elements of the interior by covering them in EcoChrome grey and Poltrona Frau leather upholstery, while also installing aluminum pedals to top it all off.
