MASERATI Every Maserati is like a work of art, its perfection expressing the marque’s proud history: unmistakable styling and technological innovation, enhanced by the experience and expertise of the Maserati Corse racing team. Maserati means passion, ingenuity and the eternal quest for perfection. It is also a key part of Italy’s long and illustrious automotive tradition. A combination of Italian craftsmanship and groundbreaking technology creates cars in which performance can be experienced to the full for the ultimate in motoring pleasure. THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO RANGE EXCELLENCE ON THE ROAD 4 MASERATI GRANTURISMO INNOVATION AND TRADITION 6 MASERATI GRANTURISMO SPORT OPPOSITES ATTRACT 14 MASERATI GRANTURISMO MC STRADALE share the thrill 22 MASERATI GRANTURISMO RANGE technical data 30 MASERATI world 32 4 THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO RANGE THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO RANGE EXCELLENCE ON THE ROAD It was 1947. The original idea of installing a racing engine in a roadgoing car gave birth to the famed A6 1500 GT Pininfarina, the first Maserati GranTurismo. Ever since then, Maserati has led the world in the production of dynamic and desirable performance cars that are exciting to drive, comfortable onboard, and featuring the very highest levels of safety. 60 years later, the dream lives on with the Maserati GranTurismo range, comprising the GranTurismo, GranTurismo Sport and GranTurismo MC Stradale: cars that combine prestige, elegance and immense power - created for those who live life to the full and seek uncompromising motoring pleasure. 6 maserati GRANTURISMO MASERATI GRANTURISMO INNOVATION AND TRADITION With its distinct personality and unique blend of power and elegance, the Maserati GranTurismo is an extremely desirable car. Its style and design are combined with a presence of unrivalled physicality and drama. Inspired by the Maserati Birdcage 75th concept car, the exterior appears muscular, with a natural fluidity that starts at the front grille and extends all the way along the sides to the tail lights. This stunning design, with careful attention paid to every tiniest detail, is the outcome of lengthy and meticulous aerodynamic studies. The wind tunnel, where the finishing touches were made to the GranTurismo’s lines, was a crucial stage in its development. maserati GRANTURISMO Exterior A UNIQUE STYLE The GranTurismo’s powerful and dynamic front end is dominated by the oval radiator grille and horizontal headlights, with LED Daytime Running Lights blended perfectly into the bumpers. The classic ‘V’ shape bonnet has three air intakes on each side in classic Maserati style, which lighten the long nose section and enhance the overall image of dynamism and verve. The radical side skirts bring further drama to the car’s profile. The rear also echoes the GranTurismo’s sportiness and high-tech soul: the triangular rear lights use 96 LEDs, and a wide aerodynamic diffuser opens out over the lower part of the bumper. 9 maserati GRANTURISMO Interior The GranTurismo’s interior makes a similar statement of prestige and refinement: underlining its exclusivity, the marque’s distinctive ‘V’ motif runs along the top of the dashboard and then appears as a signature on various features like the door panels and quarter panels. The restrained yet charismatic detailing is exquisite: subtle chrome rings decorate the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, the seats are stitched to reflect the line of the radiator grille, the Trident logo is hand-crafted on the seat headrests, and the trim lining on the backs of the gear change paddles and in the storage compartments are in soft, tactile Alcantara®. These are just a few examples of the attention to detail in which Maserati believes so strongly and which creates an overall image that never fails to impress. When sitting in the driver’s seat, the first thing one notices is the three-spoke sports steering wheel with its profiled grip. Leather-covered and extremely ergonomic, it features controls that operate many of the car’s systems and promotes safe driving. These buttons control the main multimedia functions, which are then displayed on the 7” screen of the Maserati Multimedia System in the centre of the dashboard. 13 14 maserati GRANTURISMO sport MASERATI GRANTURISMO SPORT OPPOSITES ATTRACT The Maserati GranTurismo Sport is the latest evolution of the Maserati coupé concept. This most recent Maserati has reached new levels of style, sophistication, handling and performance, whilst leaving comfort and drivability uncompromised. Available in two versions with either an automatic or robotic manual gearbox, the GranTurismo Sport has pushed back the frontiers in terms of power and elegance. An extraordinarily charismatic car, it has been designed to satisfy the needs of the most demanding and enthusiastic drivers. maserati GRANTURISMO sport Exterior ELEGANCE AND PASSION A single glance at the GranTurismo Sport can be guaranteed to make the heart beat faster. While it is based on the balanced, seductive styling of the classic GranTurismo, the Maserati Style Centre has worked hard to give this universally acknowledged masterpiece an ultra dynamic look. One of the most significant areas is the front bumper with air intakes, which not only improve the flow of air and cooling of the front brakes, but also act as a stylistic junction between the traditional oval grille and the headlights - with LED Daytime Running Lights and a new steel finish. The centre of the grille features the Trident symbol in chrome with red detailing - a tradition reserved for only the most powerful Maseratis. The central splitter is offered in black as standard and in carbon fibre as an optional extra. The rear end then boasts new tail light mouldings with a special fumé finish which accentuates the effect of the 96 LEDs. The standard oval exhaust tailpipes are black, in line with the Shadowline styling, but if the Chromeline option is requested, then these are finished in chrome. The dynamic appearance of the GranTurismo Sport is intensified by the innovative metallic Blu Sofisticato finish, a colour which makes the bodywork even more eye-catching. The large, 20 inch Astro Design alloy wheels are available in Blu Opaco Anodizzato (anodized matt blue) - a unique finish that accentuates the sporting character of the car. Through them, the powerful Brembo brake callipers are clearly visible. 17 maserati GRANTURISMO sport Interior ERGONOMIC, SPORTS INTERIOR The interior of the GranTurismo Sport is a fusion of top class materials, expert craftsmanship, obsessive attention to detail and extensive studies in ergonomics. The design objective was to create a superlative sporting experience for the driver, whilst ensuring comfort and spaciousness for everyone else onboard. The sporting nature of the GranTurismo Sport’s interior is also evident in the use of Alcantara® trim and traditional Poltrona Frau® leather, along with the new Dark Chrome and EcoChrome detailing on the dashboard, door panels and quarter panels. 21 22 maserati GRANTURISMO mc stradale MASERATI GRANTURISMO MC STRADALE share the thrill Designed to bring the valuable track know-how of Maserati Corse to the road, the GranTurismo MC Stradale has now reached a new landmark in Maserati’s eternal quest to combine luxury with uncompromising performance. The new four-seater interior with sporty, wraparound seats becomes the ideal place for enjoying an incomparable driving experience, and is supplemented by the refined aerodynamics and technological innovation that derive directly from the race track. The new GranTurismo MC Stradale is a unique car that maintains the extraordinary performance, lightness and handling qualities, for which the car is known, while at the same time exalting the values of comfort and practicality typical of the GranTurismo range. CARBON TAKES SHAPE The new carbon fibre bonnet, located between the two front headlights and above the characteristic Maserati radiator grille, stands out for its aggressive central air intake and its two generously-sized air vents, modelled on those used on the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car. In addition, the front spoiler, side skirts and slots in the front bumper combine to push the front of the car down at high speeds, cool the brakes, and deliver downforce to the entire car. The side skirts have been specially designed to integrate with the vents to channel the airflow under the car body, thus further increasing downforce. maserati GRANTURISMO mc stradale Exterior THE LIGHTNESS OF THE CARBON-CERAMIC DISCS The exclusive Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes continue to play a key role in the overall balance of the GranTurismo MC Stradale, guaranteeing powerful braking that is resistant to intensive use and, at the same time, reducing the weight compared with traditional discs of the same diameter by around 60%. The front is equipped with 380x34 mm ventilated discs, operated by a powerful six-piston calliper. The rear disks measure 360x32 mm, with a four-piston calliper. A RACING CAR FEEL YOU CAN TOUCH WITH YOUR HANDS In order to evoke a typical racing car atmosphere, the Alcantara® is extended to many parts of the interior, from the central console to the doors and the instrument panel brow, all of which are embellished with fine stitching. A sporty feel also emphasised by the Nero Soft finish on the decorative elements of the dashboard, the door panels, the rear side panels and the special bezel at the base of the rear seat headrests. QUICK MOVEMENTS ON ALL TERRAINS The Maserati technicians have introduced all of the ergonomic solutions recently developed for the GranTurismo range to the new GranTurismo MC Stradale, enabling drivers to exploit the car’s incredible potential in a highly intuitive way. Peeking out from behind the new steering wheel, sporting a flatter rim and a grip with accentuated profile, are the longer Trofeo Design gear-shift paddles that provide maximum control over gear changes in all driving conditions. The pedals, meanwhile, come in perforated aluminium, to improve the feel and control of the accelerator and brake. Finally, the Race button on the central console enables drivers to quickly switch to the exclusive MC-Race mode, which makes the car even more reactive with gear changes in just 60 milliseconds. 25 maserati GRANTURISMO mc stradale Interior FOUR SEATS TO ENJOY THE CURVES The new sporty seats with integrated headrest are designed to provide the best driving position, with a high level of lateral support, while at the same time ensuring maximum comfort. The soft Poltrona Frau® leather is combined with a track inspired central section characterised by special Alcantara®. The backrest, adorned with stitching around the periphery that emphasises the craftsmanship of the seats, has an original customisable rear shell in carbon fibre. This shell provides additional leg room to those sitting in the rear seats, which are also redesigned to match the front seats. The result of this set up: improved comfort for all four passengers. POWER EVIDENT FROM AFAR The unmistakeable roar of the centrally positioned tailpipes is that of the well-known 4.7-litre V8 which, present in its most advanced form, reaches a maximum power of 460 CV. The torque, now up to 520 Nm at 4,750 rpm, immediately emphasises the drive and elasticity of the engine whose intense noise is underlined by the permanent opening of the by-pass valves while in Race mode. TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN BY INSTINCT To attain a level of comfort worthy of a luxury GT without compromising the sensations evoked by a race car, the GranTurismo MC Stradale has a specific set-up lowered by 10 mm that guarantees uncompromised levels of handling and driver enjoyment, while the lateral load transfer is limited through the use of more rigid springs and shock absorbers. The Transaxle architecture, with the gearbox mounted on the rear axle, ensures perfect weight distribution with more load on the rear axle for a more instinctive drive. SPORTING REFLECTIONS The new GranTurismo MC Stradale debuts in an original triple-layer Grigio Lava (Pearl Grey) shade, an elegant and sporty colour with iridescent qualities. The resultant shimmering effect connects the curves of the bodywork to the numerous streamlined vents. A dynamic effect further enhanced by the new 20-inch Trofeo Design forged rims. 29 30 MASERATI GRANTURISMO RANGE Technical data technical data modEL Displacement Max power output Max power output revs Max torque output Max torque output revs Maximum speed 0 to 100 km/h acceleration Breaking distance from 100 km/h to 0 Fuel consumption (urban cycle) GRANTURISMO GRANTURISMO SPORT GRANTURISMO MC STRADALE 4,244 cm3 405 HP (302 kW) 7,100 rpm 460 Nm (47 kgm) 4,750 rpm 4,691 cm3 460 HP (338 kW) 7,000 rpm 520 Nm (53 kgm) 4,750 rpm 4,691 cm3 460 HP (338 kW) 7,000 rpm 520 Nm (53 kgm) 4,750 rpm 285 km/h 298 km/h (MC Auto Shift) 300 km/h (MC Shift) 4.8 s (MC Auto Shift) 4.7 s (MC Shift) 35 m 303 km/h 23.8 (l/100 km) MC Shift 21.9 (l/100 km) MC Auto Shift 10.7 (l/100 km) MC Shift 9.8 (l/100 km) MC Auto Shift 15.5 (l/100 km) MC Shift 14.3 (l/100 km) MC Auto Shift 360 (g/km) MC Shift 331 (g/km) MC Auto Shift 22.7 l/100 km 4,881 mm 2,056 mm 1,353 mm 245/35 ZR20” 285/35 ZR20” 1,780 kg 1,880 kg 49% front - 51% rear (MC Auto Shift) 47% front - 53% rear (MC Shift) 4,933 mm 2,044 mm 1,343 mm 255/35 ZR20” 295/35 ZR20” 1,700 kg 1,800 kg 48% front - 52% rear 5.2 s 36 m 21.5 l/100 km Fuel consumption (extra urban cycle) 10 l/100 km Fuel consumption (combined cycle) 14.3 l/100 km CO2 emissions (combined urban cycle) Lenght Width (with side mirrors) Height Front Tyres Rear Tyres Dry weight Kerb weight + driver Weight distribution 330 g/km 4,881 mm 2,056 mm 1,353 mm 245/40 ZR19” 285/40 ZR19” 1,780 kg 1,955 kg 49% front - 51% rear 4.5 s 33 m 9.7 l/100 km 14.4 l/100 km 337 g/km 32 MASERATI world Corse MASERATI.
