AUTHENTICITY IT WAS 1947. The original idea of installing a racing engine in a roadgoing car gave birth to the famed A6 1500 GT Pininfarina, the first Maserati “Granturismo.” Ever since, Maserati has led the world in the construction of cars with unmistakable class and thrilling performance−exciting to drive, with a comfortable interior and with an eye toward safety. 60 YEARS LATER, THE DREAM LIVES ON. Designed for daily as well as long journeys, the new Maserati GranTurismo has been created for those who appreciate true sophistication, and want their car to deliver an emotional driving experience day after day. THE MASERATI PHILOSOPHY LOOKS TO THE FUTURE. Excellence is achieved through passion in terms of both technology and hand-crafted quality. This is what it takes to win more than 30 international “Best Car” awards. In the modern, high-tech Modena factory, expertise, professionalism and loving care over every detail make our cars unique. All this is the outcome of the genuine passion that every engineer, technician and specialist uses to design, test and finish every single car as if it were their own. E U R O P E A N VE R S I O N S H O W N 2 0 ” optional wheels shown 2. DESIGN EVERY New MASERATI IS ALWAYS STYLED TO BE A UNIQUE SYMBOL OF PRESTIGE. THE LINES, CURVES AND CONTOURS OF THIS GENERATION HAVE BEEN DRAWN BY PININFARINA’S MASTERLY HAND. With its decisive personality and blend of power and elegance, the new Maserati GranTurismo is a modern day masterpiece. What’s more, its style and design are combined with a presence of muscular lines and functional forms. Inspired by the Maserati Birdcage 75th concept car, the exterior appears powerful, with a natural fluidity that starts at the front grille and extends all the way along the sides to the tail lights. This stunning design, with careful attention paid to every detail, is the outcome of lengthy and meticulous aerodynamic studies. The wind tunnel, where the finishing touches were put on the GranTurismo’s lines, was a crucial stage in this Maserati’s development. M A S E R AT I design 11 MA SER ATI design 12 GUIDE TO A UNIQUE STYLE The imposing and captivating front culminates in the oval grille, with the headlights extending horizontally alongside to blend perfectly into the front end. The grille, comprised of vertical concave slats, is adorned with a chrome Trident that appears to be suspended in the middle. The long hood, with the classic “V” shape, has three air intakes on each side in classic Maserati style, which lighten the nose section and give an overall image of dynamism and verve. The rear also echoes the GranTurismo’s sportiness and high-tech soul: the triangular rear lights use 96 LED lights, and a wide aerodynamic diffuser opens out over the bottom part of the bumper. The lines of the interior highlight the unmistakable Maserati style: the distinctive “V” runs right along the top of the dashboard, outlining the traditional oval Maserati clock, and underscoring the exclusivity of this interior design. It also appears as the marque’s signature symbol on a variety of detail features, from the door panels to the rear pillars. The restrained yet charismatic detailing is exquisite: the subtle chrome ring that decorates the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, the Trident logo that is hand-crafted on the seat head-rests, the Alcantara™ trim that lines the back of the paddle shifters and the storage compartments, all lined in soft, tactile material. These are just a few more examples of the attention to detail in which Maserati believes so strongly. All this creates an overall image that cannot fail to impress. The result is a dynamic body and refined interior to match the GranTurismo’s prodigious power and performance. 2 0 ” optional wheel . european version shown MA SER ATI c o m f o rt 16 3. COmFORT ON LONG JOurneyS OR ON daily drives, TRAVEL IS ALWAYS SENSIBLE. PLEASURE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS SPEED AND SAFETY. Designed for daily driving as well as long journeys, the Maserati GranTurismo comfortably allows 4 adults to fully appreciate the pleasures of life on-board, surrounded by materials and craftsmanship that are unmistakably Maserati. The spacious seating allows for plenty of room to stretch one’s legs, relax, and enjoy the ride in the car’s beautifully finished interior. aluminum colored trim shown. not available in north america MA SER ATI c o m f o rt 20 A LUXURIOUS, FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR Both 10-way electrically adjustable front seats are designed with a sports configuration of both the seat and the seat-back. Again the classic Maserati “V” shape adorns these body-enveloping seats. Creating a superior level of comfort and supporting the top half of the body and legs when maneuvering curves at high speeds, the seats can keep you warm with three temperature settings. The Easy Entry function of the steering column automatically raises and lowers the steering column to give the driver an easier entry into and exit out of the vehicle. The steering wheel reflects the sporty design and styling of the seats: leather-covered, and ergonomically positioned, it invites the driver to comfortably grip the wheel and maintain control while managing interactive driving and additional vehicle functions. The most often used multimedia functions can be controlled through the buttons on the steering wheel, and are displayed on the 7” screen of the Maserati Multi Media System, in the center of the dashboard. Access to the rear seats is simple thanks to the Easy Entry system on both driver and passenger sides: the front seats move forward electrically, giving ample room to enter or exit the second row of seats. There are two individual seats for those sitting in the back with the same sporty profile as the front seats and well suited for two adults. Comfort in the back is enhanced by the center pull-down armrest and two climate control vents. Further examples of the attention paid to rear seat passengers are the two cup-holders located on the back of the center console, the courtesy lights, and the side pockets. M A S E R AT I c o m f o rt 21 LUXURY IN MUSIC Those drivers and passengers who are looking for top quality audio systems will be particularly impressed by the Bose® Surround Sound System, that has been specially designed and built to match and blend in with the GranTurismo’s acoustics. Starting from the idea that top audio quality should be designed into the car from the very beginning, Bose® has created a system that can offer music reproduction on a par with that of the best concert halls in terms of depth, clarity, and tone: 11 speakers delivering both power and clarity for a superior sound. COMFORTABLE IN ALL CONDITIONS The automatic dual-zone climate control allows those on-board to select different temperature settings and is designed to automatically adjust the intensity of ventilation in relation to the outside temperature. The system is fitted with a defogging sensor: if the glass surfaces start to fog up, this automatically operates to reduce the humidity content of the air. When traveling over long distances, it is a pleasure to find that the car’s interior offers luxury yet the comfort of one’s own home; Maserati offers its customers the choice of a vast selection of materials and color combinations, to create an environment that is truly to their own tastes, making each journey a sensual experience. MA SER ATI technology 24 4. TECHNOLOGy SOME CARS, LIKE THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO OWN THEM, have AN IMMENSE HEART. The vital pulse of the Maserati GranTurismo comes from its V8, 4.2 L engine, the latest Maserati power unit. The masterly design of this engine generates the power and rapidity typical of the competition engines from which Maserati has always drawn its inspiration. This V8 has been designed to give extreme responsiveness to every input on the accelerator. The new Maserati GranTurismo is a car that can satisfy any desire, but with particular attention to fuel consumption, maintaining a smooth ride, and noise control in the car’s interior. M A S E R AT I technology 27 THE V8 SHOWS ITS POWER kW Compact, light (just 397 lbs - 186 kg) and quick to respond, the Maserati GranTurismo engine can deliver 405 hp at 7,100 rpm, equivalent to a specific power of 96.4 hp/liter, and a maximum torque of 339 lb-ft (460 Nm) torque at 4,750 rpm, of which 75% is developed at just 2,500 rpm. The result is astonishing: 0-60 mph in 5.1 sec (0-100 km/h in 5.2 sec). The V8’s timing is operated by two twin chain-driven overhead camshafts per bank, and four valves per cylinder controlled by hydraulic tappets; the lubrication system features a wet sump, resulting in a smoother running engine. The powerplant’s dynamic performance is constantly optimized by its microprocessor control units (ECUs), which communicate with the other systems through a CAN (Controlled Area Network) line. The acceleration provided by the Maserati V8 is immediate, and thanks to the electronic Drive by Wire throttle control, the car responds to even the slightest touch of the pedal. The 6-speed automatic transmission by ZF is designed to provide smooth, relaxed driving, without losing any of the excitement of a great touring car. The winning team of Maserati and ZF is responsible for creating the reliability and refinement that can be expected of this transmission, along with a host of innovations in transmission technology. The transmission is designed to respond with the utmost versatility in every situation, and has the capability to automatically select the optimal operating mode. In the highest-performance mode, for those who want to push the Maserati GranTurismo’s sporting soul to its limits, the transmission allows ultra-fast gear changes up to 7,200 rpm, a much higher engine speed compared with its direct rivals. For a more relaxed driving style, the transmission has been designed with ratios that reduce fuel consumption and interior noise at high speeds, maintaining unrivaled comfort and smooth gear shifts. The Maserati V8 engine sound is unique: deep-toned at low rpms, fearsome in its crescendo, and awe-inspiring at its highest rpms. Four chrome tailpipes provide controlled amplification of the engine note, an absolute thrill for anyone on-board a Maserati GranTurismo. RPM MA SER ATI technology 30 THE EVOLUTION OF THE TRANSMISSION The GranTurismo’s transmission is fitted with auto-adaptive software designed to automatically adjust gear changing to adapt to different driving styles and road conditions. There are 4 different operating modes. Normal Mode. When driving normally, with steady acceleration, gear changes occur at relatively low revs to achieve the most comfortable ride. If the driving style becomes more sporty while in Auto Normal mode, the gear shifts automatically take place at higher engine speeds to enhance performance. Sport Mode. Selected via the SPORT button, this is intended for those who prefer a sporty driving style. Gear changing takes place at very high engine speeds and, thanks to a “fuel control” engine program specially developed for the Maserati GranTurismo, gear shifts are 40% faster than in Normal Mode. Automatic downshifts are programmed to provide the lowest gear possible as a curve approaches; this helps maximize control through the curve and provides extra speed when exiting the bend. In this mode one can fully appreciate the exhilarating way the GranTurismo copes with a series of fast corners. Pressing the SPORT button also changes: • The way the Maserati stability control system (MSP) operates; • The stiffening of the electronically controlled Skyhook suspension. M A S E R AT I technology 31 ICE Mode. Selected by pressing the ICE button, this has been developed for conditions where tire grip is poor. Activation of the Auto ICE mode reduces the maximum torque at the wheels, helps prevent starts in first gear, and only allows gear changes at a maximum of 3,000 rpm. This mode helps to provide traction even in the most slippery conditions. Manual Mode. Manual Mode is available for maximum driving enjoyment and can be selected by moving the gear lever from “D” to the “+”/“-” position. In this case the gears are selected directly by the driver sequentially, either via the gear shift lever or the paddles integrated on the steering column (Active Shifting). The driver can switch from using the gear shift lever to the paddles (leaving the gear lever in the “+”/“-” position) at any time. The paddle shifter used by Maserati, different from most other similar systems as they are connected to the steering column, are truly user-friendly, thanks to their size and ergonomic positioning. The automatic transmission is located at the front of the car in line with the engine. The drive shaft is articulated into two sections, transmitting the drive to the wheels via a self-locking differential (lock percentages: 25% in traction, 45% in release) which helps both to limit slip and to provide optimal traction control. MA SERATI technology 32 INNOVATIVE FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW The exhaust system connected to the V8 engine uses metal catalysts rather than those made of ceramic material, just like on racing engines. Driving a Maserati GranTurismo, the customer is behind the wheel of a car that meets the most stringent current anti-pollution laws, without having to compromise in terms of performance. The new load-bearing body design boasts a mix of materials and technologies for weight optimization and strength. The central structure is made of steel, the hood and front reinforcement member of aluminum, and the trunk lid is constructed 49% 51% using Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) technology. This technology keeps the component weight down and is more resistant to minor damage and corrosion. Its versatility also allowed the designers more room to apply their creative flair. The GranTurismo’s extremely rigid body, in conjunction with its sophisticated suspension system, helps to enhance the car’s dynamic handling, while also reducing vibration. This optimizes on-board comfort whatever the road surface, and reduces movement of internal components. The unibody, constructed in high-strength steel box sections, incorporates a tubular structure in the rear to support the suspension and differential, while in the front it supports the suspension and engine. This layout achieves the traditional Maserati rear biased weight distribution (49% front - 51% rear) with a slightly higher load on the rear axle. This makes the Maserati GranTurismo enjoyable to drive, responsive to commands, and enhances its safety. Moving the engine back behind the front axle generates a large number of dynamic benefits. In everyday use, it translates into balanced and predictable performance designed to make driving very easy. The main benefits are: • Maximization of traction when accelerating • Optimization of traction when accelerating on low grip surfaces • Outstanding road holding (lateral acceleration up to 1 g) • Exceptionally stable and balanced performance during emergency maneuvers • Better balance and traction during braking. M A S E R AT I technology 37 Maserati is also justly proud of the GranTurismo’s suspension and steering. The chassis features a front and rear wishbone suspension with forged aluminum hubs and arms in order to reduce weight in the unsprung mass. The suspension layout benefits from Antidive technology, which limits the front from pitching down when braking, and Antisquat technology, which limits the rear from pitching down when accelerating. The Skyhook system, developed in collaboration with Mannesmann-Sachs, is designed to provide automatic and continuous control of the damping, absorbing irregularities in the road. This provides the highest level of on-board comfort, without penalizing performance and sporty handling. This system uses acceleration sensors that register the movements of each wheel and the body of the car: the control unit processes this data and interprets the driving conditions and the road surface, instantly adapting the setting of the shock absorbers accordingly, thanks to their proportional valves. The Skyhook Suspension system gives the Maserati owner another advantage−it lets you adapt the dynamic behavior of the car to your own driving style and to road conditions, by choosing between two different settings, Normal and Sport (selected via the SPORT button). The first mode is characterized by soft damping for greater comfort. Alternatively, by pressing the SPORT button you can switch to a more firm setup, with greatly reduced roll angles and load transfer, enhancing the stability of the car. The new Maserati GranTurismo is suitable for everyday use but it is also a true sports car. This is clearly reflected in the sizes of wheels and tires selected for the car: a balanced combination of road holding and comfort. In the standard configuration, the Maserati GranTurismo makes optimal use of a staggered set-up, fitted with 19” aluminum rims with wider tires at the rear, creating the best possible grip during the quickest accelerations. The optional 20” version, also featuring a staggered set-up, has a look inspired by the wheels on the Maserati Birdcage 75th concept car. The standard tires (front 245/40 R19, rear 285/40 R19), with rigid sidewall, large size, and reduced steering slip angle, increase the car’s agility and rapidity of response during intense turns. The new Maserati GranTurismo has a Brembo braking system comprised of four ventilated discs, each with 48 precision perforations (disc diameter and thickness: 13 in x 1.26 in - 330 mm x 32 mm at the front; 13 in x 1.1 in - 330 mm x 28 mm at the rear). The calipers have four pistons of different diameters with ceramic isolating linings; the 4-channel ABS has electronically controlled braking distribution (EBD) integrated in the Maserati Stability Program (MSP). MA SER ATI technology 38 FLUID MOVEMENT, TOTAL CONTROL With the new Maserati GranTurismo, visibility is really outstanding. The Adaptive Light Control increases the already high level of efficiency of the bi-xenon headlights, thanks to a special rotating mechanism. This function is designed to increase visibility on curves at night: the electronic unit controlling the beams instantly receives information on the steering angle, yaw, and speed of the vehicle and adjusts electrical devices inside the headlights to turn the beams in the appropriate direction. The rear lights feature 96 LEDs, which make the car clearly visible at night. These triangular lights also provide style which, for Maserati, is also top priority. With parking sensors incorporated in the rear bumper, parking is made extremely simple; a display on the dashboard will help inform you how far you are from an obstacle while parking. When traveling at a constant speed you can activate the Cruise Control to automatically maintain a pre-set speed. With the Cruise Control activated, the gear changes follow precise and preestablished strategies, taking into consideration the gradient of the road, and calibrated to maintain the maximum comfort for those on-board. Electrochromic internal mirrors and electrically operated external door mirrors darken progressively as the intensity of light increases to prevent dazzling. And when you arrive home, the Home Link remote contol allows for up to three frequencies to be programmed directly into the on-board system, for three different automatic garage doors or gates. As far as security is concerned, the new Maserati GranTurismo is protected by an immobilizer with a transponder in the ignition key, and an alarm system consisting of: • An anti-lifting sensor, and volumetric ultrasound sensors • Perimeter protection • A siren under the hood • A 3-button remote control with door lock/unlock and trunk-open functions. M A S E R AT I technology 41 The new Maserati GranTurismo is equipped with the Maserati Multi Media System (MMS): thanks to the large 7-inch color TFT high resolution display in the center of the dashboard, you can display the functions of the single-disc CD player, satellite navigation system (where available), car radio and on-board computer. The performance of this system is enhanced by 30 GB of internal memory, which is capable of supporting the full map display and loading thousands of music files, the “jukebox” function, thus making it possible to do away with a CD changer. The vast internal memory notably reduces the time required to calculate a route and allows you to upload approximately 400 CDs, which can be copied directly from the Audio CD player. The satellite navigation with its clear color display, and 3D graphic processor makes following a route extremely easy. The system is simple and intuitive to use thanks to the controls at the center of the dashboard, while the steering wheel buttons give you easy access to the most frequently used functions. And from the perspective of comfort and safety, the audio system and navigation system can be operated through a voice command system to help limit distractions while driving. MA SER ATI safety 44 5. SAFETY Beauty and elegance are not enough. Even power, versatility and handling are not enough. Maserati also strives to produce cars with a high degree of safety engineering. Feeling secure and comfortable on the road ACTIVELY contributes to the pleasure of driving: • Electronic power steering is always functional when the car is moving. It provides the right amount of feel at high speeds as well as light and comfortable steering when maneuvering at low speed • Brembo brakes with four perforated self-ventilating 13 in (330 mm) discs have fixed calipers with four pistons and offer optimal stopping power • Exclusive Maserati Stability Program (MSP) stability control system includes ABS, EBD and ASR • EPB electronic parking brake • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) continuously checks the tire pressure • Adaptive Light System turns the headlights in the direction of the car when going around curves. AND PASSIVELY: • Unibody built using a new load-bearing body system • Front airbags, side airbags integrated in the front seats, and side window airbags integrated in the door panels to provide protection for the passengers in the case of a collision • Both front and rear seatbelts have electronically controlled pretensioners • An inertia switch deactivates the fuel pumps to reduce the possibility of fire in case of a violent collision. MA SER ATI safety 46 ACTIVE SAFETY Quick, precise steering control helps improve comfort and safety on-board the Maserati GranTurismo and also provides an enjoyable ride. By using an electronic interlocking system, the action of the power steering is adapted to the speed and road conditions, giving the driver a true feel for the road both at high speeds and during low speed maneuvering. Thanks to an optimal weight distribution for Maserati (49% front – 51% rear), obtained by moving the engine back behind the front axle, the road holding and grip under acceleration are excellent. But the pleasure of powerful acceleration would be nothing without the decisive braking capacity of the Brembo system with four perforated and self-ventilating discs. The Maserati GranTurismo offers impressive performance in its brakes’ capabilities and in their resistance to fade under intense use: the car boasts a stopping distance of just 114 feet from 60 mph to 0 mph (60 km/h to o in 35 m), with an average deceleration of 1.24 g. The MSP (Maserati Stability Program), developed exclusively by Maserati, is a stability control system that is designed to optimize the car’s dynamics and safety capabilities on the road. The system has a series of sensors that can detect anomalies in the dynamic behavior of the car and, by using the brakes and engine, the system helps to stabilize the car and helps to provide control. The MSP is designed to: • Recognize the onset of skidding and helps stabilize the car in milliseconds (MSP) • Help prevent the wheels from locking under braking (ABS) • Distribute the braking force between the front and rear axles to help prevent the rear wheels from locking (EBD) • To help prevent the drive wheels from spinning on low-grip surfaces (ASR) • To help prevent the drive wheels from locking when down shifting on low-grip surfaces (MSR). M A S E R AT I safety 47 With the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) on the new Maserati GranTurismo, you can apply the parking brake easily by using an electronic control on the center console rather than a traditional mechanical lever. Aside from replacing the traditional handbrake, the EPB also has a dynamic safety function. If necessary, it can be used when the car is moving: the system, communicating with the stability control (MSP), acts on all four wheels to obtain an immediate braking action (deceleration of 0.5 g), without loss in stability, until the control is released (to be used in emergency situations only or when stopping the car by using the brake pedal is not possible) Through a set of dedicated sensors, the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is designed to check the tire pressure continuously. The system displays the tire pressures on the instrument cluster and warns the driver if they drop below a minimum level or if there is a puncture. To make hill starts easier, the Maserati GranTurismo has a Hill Holder, a device which, on inclines greater than 12°, keeps the vehicle braked for just over one second, so the driver can move their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the car rolling back. As an additional active safety measure, the Adaptive Light System turns the headlights in the direction of the car when going around curves. MA SER ATI safety 48 Passive safety The load-bearing body helps enhance the safety of the new Maserati GranTurismo; furthermore, the application of the latest constructional technologies makes it possible to optimize the weight balance and performance. The structural part of the body is made of steel, the hood and front strut of the bumper are made of aluminum, while the trunk lid, made using Sheet Molding Compound technology, helps keep the weight of the car down. The six air bag system on the Maserati GranTurismo has four individual sensors in the front and sides of the car and on a control unit located near the center console. The sensors of the two front air bags (both dual-stage) are designed to help control inflation so that it is directly proportional to the force of the impact. The Maserati GranTurismo also has two side air bags integrated in the front seats and two side window air bags integrated in the door panels, designed to help provide protection for front seat passengers in the case of certain lateral impacts. Both the front and rear seatbelts have electronically controlled pretensioners and load limiters, designed to help keep passengers in their seats even in the case of sudden deceleration. The seatbelt sensor lets the control unit assess the severity of the collision, taking into consideration whether the seatbelts are fastened or not, and inflates the front air bags accordingly, in terms of rapidity of intervention and inflation pressure. Furthermore, the rear Isofix attachments offer secure fastenings for certain child seats, designed to help protect smaller passengers. 2 0 ” optional wheel 6.

Each new Maserati, after being thoroughly examined and tested in the engine running-in and diagnostic area where its torque and power output are verified, is put through its paces by our professional test-drivers. Excellence is a matter of pride at Maserati. 4-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. Confident in its high performance automobiles, Maserati North America covers them with a transferable four year/50,000 mile new car limited warranty.
