2019 Maserati GranTurismo Introducing

2019 Maserati GranTurismo Introducing https://goo.gl/9QYABv

Maserati’s GranTurismo offers something extraordinary in a high-performance, six-figure coupe or convertible, one that embodies all that is compelling and irresistible about Italian cars. The exterior has curves in all the right places; the interior is lavishly appointed. There is an amazing, 454-hp 4.7-liter V-8 that is good for sub-5.0-second 0-60 runs. The droptop adds weight and lacks the coupe’s stiffness and response, but still looks fabulous.

It’s a different world, even at Maserati. New Ghibli, Levante SUV, and Quattroporte models have increased the brand’s sales more than tenfold: Roughly 42,000 new Maseratis will be sold this year. But unlike those other models, the GranTurismo contains nary a trace of Chrysler. It remains very much a product of the old, pre-FCA Maserati and is still built on a shortened, two-door version of the platform used for the previous-generation Quattroporte, a car we remember fondly.
