The model's exterior sports the exclusive matt Sebring Blue, which shows off its elegant lines yet also highlights its sporting aggression.

These characteristics are also emphasised by the use of carbon elements, in particular the front spoilers, side mirrors, door handles and rear spoiler.

As far as the interior is concerned on the other hand, the blend of sport and elegance is perfectly expressed by elements common to the MC Stradale version.

In this case too, carbon finishes frame the instruments and the controls on the dashboard and central tunnel.

The models in the Maserati GranTurismo range can be driven every day but they also represent the last word in performance driving.

This winning combination is embodied in the GranTurismo S, a vehicle that is fitted with a potent 4.7 liter V8 that produces 433 bhp and with a six-speed automatic transmission for effortless driving.

The increased torque, mostly felt at low-mid range, together with the six-speed automatic transmission, brings out the car's true GT spirit.

The Brembo brakes feature six piston calipers on the front clasping exceptional dual-cast discs, a setup where the cast iron rotors and aluminium hubs are cast as a single piece to lower weight but still deliver consistent performance even at high working temperatures.
