The concept of GranTurismo

Maserati grand tourer: defined

Typically, a grand tourer is a front-engine, two-door coupe with rear-wheel drive — in either a two-seat or four-seat configuration. Born and bred in Italy, the original GranTurismo, Italian for  “grand tourer,” was engineered to cover hundreds of miles in style and comfort at high speeds, with enough room to accommodate luggage.
On the one hand, a grand tourer displayed elegance, refinement and craftsmanship; on the other, it showed a rebellious spirit, hunger for performance and need for adventure. Maserati chose to embody this duality, thus creating an intrinsic and intriguing tension. 

A grand-touring soul
inside a Maserati sports car

The prototype of what can be considered the first GranTurismo model was the legendary A6 1500. The A stood for Alfieri, one of the founding Maserati brothers, and the 6 represented the car’s six cylinders. Launched in March 1947 at the Geneva Motor Show, this model was the first Maserati road car outfitted with a sophisticated race-car engine. Its timeless, elegant style, created by renowned designer Pininfarina, inspired future generations of road cars. There remain only photographs as testimony to its splendor, and no experiment has since been more significant than the A6 to the Italian grand touring spirit.

Maserati GranTurismo cars through history

In March 1957, a prototype of the 3500GT was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. It was immediately nicknamed “Dama Bianca” (the White Lady), due to its color and infinite elegance. The body of the 3500GT was designed by Carrozzeria Touring and its aluminum fabrication and Superleggera technology contributed to its reduction in weight. The 6-cylinder engine from the 350S racing car of 1956 was employed — characterized by its excellent torque output at low engine speed. The 3500GT was the perfect Italian-style grand tourer.
The Mistral brought a wind of innovation to the line of Maserati cars. Presented at the Turin Motor Show in the autumn of 1963, it marked the beginning of one of the most beloved traditions at Maserati: naming GranTurismo cars after exotic winds. Styled by Pietro Frua, the Mistral had a more modern look with one of Frua’s most recognizable characteristics: an exceptional dimension of the glass surfaces. It was the last Maserati sports car to be equipped with the glorious 6-cylinder engine, which had been the power unit of Maserati grand tourers for over 10 years.
After 10 years of top-notch grand-touring cars, it was time to renew a trend. The world was experiencing the Beat Generation and, while remaining less extreme and ostentatious, Maserati needed to follow that direction. The rebellious and dramatic style of Giorgietto Giugiaro, who was working for the Ghia studio at the time, was the perfect match for this model. Named after an Egyptian desert storm wind, the Ghibli was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in late 1966. Its striking appearance is still regarded as one of Giugiaro’s most beautiful designs.
Another design by Giugiaro, the 3200GT finally broke free of a decade of Bi-turbo rehashes. Presented publicly at the October 1998 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, the 3200GT was a true masterpiece in line with the grand tradition of Maserati. It was modern, yet evocative of the great models of the past. It comes as no surprise that its name was given in honor of the 3500GT, the brand's first series production grand tourer. Its V8 engine was substantially modified to deliver 370 hp, and its boomerang-shaped taillights were the first to use LED technology.
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2004, the Maserati GranSport gave a second life to one of the greatest names of its own motoring heritage. This new model celebrated the concept of sportiness at the core of all Maserati grand tourers. The GranSport featured new 19-inch alloy wheels, a Skyhook active suspension and a sportier interior. The maximum power delivery of the V8 engine was increased to 400 hp. Together with a newly added sports exhaust system, the engine gave enthusiasts that unmistakable, full-bodied Maserati note.

GranTurismo

An instant classic
At the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, the world got to know the new Maserati coupe named the GranTurismo. It was defined as “an instant classic.” Impactful at first sight, it was an irresistible combination of outstanding Italian Pininfarina design, exclusive luxury, progressive technology and uncompromising power. At the launch, the GranTurismo was equipped with a 4.2-liter V8 engine, a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission, and cutting-edge motorsport-derived technology features. Unveiled one year later, the GranTurismo S featured a formidable 4.7-liter V8 engine, attesting to the fact that the GranTurismo is the pride of Italian coupes.

GranTurismo Sport

The GranTurismo Sport was unveiled in March 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show with the revised 4.7-liter V8 engine. It delivered an endless dynamic promise of luxury and audacity. The front was redesigned with bold red detailing and with a deep-cut oval front grille bearing the Trident in chrome. The revised bumper echoes the styling of the front, creating a harmonious unit. The side profile is inspired by the historic Maserati “Birdcage” and features signature cues like the triple air vents and the triangular C-pillars housing the Saetta logo. Fine-tuned luxury can be found in every detail like the soft and tactile Alcantara trim on the backs of the Sport steering wheel-mounted gearshift paddles.

GranTurismo MC

As the extreme expression of grand touring, also the GranTurismo MC shares the 4.7-liter V8 engine with the S version. It has a new aggressive front grille with an exclusive front splitter that maximizes downforce at high speeds. The vents on the side skirts channel the airflow under the car’s body to increase stability. However, its most striking exterior feature is the optional lightweight carbon fiber hood with an aggressive central air intake and two large air vents modeled on those of the MC Trofeo. The interior offers a captivating mix of refined comfort and advanced technology, along with seductive, soft black standard trim.
