The new Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic features a 4.7 V8 which develops 440 HP (323kW) at 7000 rpm.  The maximum torque is 490Nm at 4.750 rpm.

The major innovation is the combination of the automatic transmission with the most powerful wet sump Maserati V8 on the GranTurismo – until now offered as a 4.2 with automatic transmission and a 4.7 with an electro-actuated gearbox.  The combination of the 323kW produced by the powerful 4.7 V8 engine and the smoothness of the ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox, the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic stresses the original granturismo concept whilst offering peak performance.

The Skyhook suspension system featuring continuously adjustable dampers provides great driving comfort.  Passive safety is further enhanced with the introduction of a new generation passenger air-bag with Low Risk Deployment functionality.

Consistent with the unmistakable design of Maserati, the GranTurismo S Automatic features some marked stylistic differences which make it immediately recognisable: the new under-door mini-skirts featuring a prominent shape, enhancing the dynamism of its profile and the new 20” wheel rims with “Trident” design, which recall the elegance of the car.

Further technology enriches the on-board comfort for the driver and three passengers, thanks to the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology, offered as standard, and the iPod® interface, available upon request, completing the Maserati Multi Media System.
