The Maserati GranTurismo Design: Elegance Enveloping a Cabin for Four
Beauty is the first thing many notice about the Maserati GranTurismo. Styled by Pininfarina, its taut lines, sculpted curves and polished surfaces drape the vehicle's mechanics with a mix of precision and art. The GranTurismo, observed from any angle, expresses style, performance and craftsmanship. However, the beauty of the GranTurismo is more than skin deep.
Unique and unmistakably Maserati, the GranTurismo’s grille features concave vertical slats. A chrome Trident logo is suspended in its centre. The front headlights are positioned on a radically sloping front bumper, a stylistic element that has long distinguished Maserati coupés. The bonnet’s classic ‘V’ shape is a feature that is echoed throughout the car.
The traditional Maserati design element of three chrome-ringed air vents set behind the front wheels give the GranTurismo an even more vibrant feel. The car’s lines have been designed to lead the eye fluidly over its curves, from its stunning front end to the sweeping rear.
Moving further down the side of the GranTurismo, the oval version of the Maserati logo (known as ‘Saetta’) stands out on the rear pillars. The elegant shape concludes at the rear light cluster, featuring LED lights, in a daring triangle. Wide aerodynamic diffusers sit under the sculpted bumper.
The styling themes continue inside the cabin: the V design element has been carried through to the dashboard below the Maserati clock, and is also picked up in the seat design, uniting the interior and exterior.
The GranTurismo transcends style and instead enters into the rarefied world of true beauty.
