This is a case where numbers tell only a fraction of the story. The Maserati GranTurismo's sonorous V8 is a bit down on power compared to the rival BMW M6's V10, and its acceleration times fall short of both the brawny Bimmer's and the Jaguar XKR's. However, the Ferrari-built eight-cylinder is wonderfully smooth and tractable, and its explosive high-rpm muscle still enables the GranTurismo to run with just about any car on the road. Similarly, while the 4,147-pound Maserati GranTurismo won't set any records on the skid pad, it strikes an agreeable balance between sports-carlike handling and long-distance cruising comfort -- just as a proper grand tourer should.The Maserati GranTurismo's cabin is equally impressive. Hand-stitched leather is practically everywhere you touch, and there's an aesthetic flair here that's missing in its Teutonic competition. Also missing are electronic gewgaws such as BMW's iDrive and the like -- which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's plenty of modern technology baked into this Maserati, but it's not as obtrusive as in other luxury performance coupes. The result is a seemingly purer driving experience.The 2008 Maserati GranTurismo is a four-passenger luxury performance coupe. Only one trim level is available. Standard equipment includes Maserati 19-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, an electronically adjustable suspension, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps with washers, leather upholstery, heated 10-way power front seats with driver memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose surround-sound audio system and a hard-drive-based navigation system.Options are mostly limited to an array of aesthetic enhancements. The Maserati GranTurismo's brake calipers can be painted any of five additional colors (black is standard), and there are three optional wheel designs -- one 19-inch set and two 20-inchers. Any of 10 "special paints" can be applied to the exterior at the buyer's behest, and seemingly endless combinations of interior hues and trim pieces are also available. |
