The Maserati GranTurismo hasn’t changed significantly over the past ten years, but with such a beautiful design concept, it’s no wonder there hasn’t been much to change. The 2018 GranTurismo Sport is an energizing car, even with an aggressive feel. The iconic oval radiator grille helps cool the front breaks, but also looks distinguished. This car’s design is all about maximizing airflow management, the side skirts give it an iconic profile while also whisking airflow toward the rear wheels.
This machine was released with a Blu Sofisticato finish, a color unique to this particular car. Aside from the build of the exterior, this blue enhances its power. The 20-inch rims are also available in a custom anodized matte blue, called Blu Opaco Anodizzato.
Another small change Maserati made was around the interior, on the Trofeo design steering wheel. This wheel has a contoured rim to make it easier to grip when you approach top speeds of 187 mph. With a 0-60 speed of 4.7 seconds, it’ll be hard to resist speeding down stretches of highway.
The 4.7- liter V8 engine is smooth and formidable, finished with tappets and camshaft lobes that has significantly reduced friction. This engine roars at 454 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. Shift into Sport mode and actuate the valves in the exhaust system so the engine breathes easier to optimize power. With 384 lb-ft torque, power is delivered.
