Compact, lightweight (just 180 kg) and quick to respond, the Maserati GranTurismo’s 4.2 litre V8
delivers 405 HP at 7,100 rpm, and a maximum torque of 460 N•m at 4,750 rpm — 75% of which
is available at just 2,500 rpm. This adds up to exceptional performance, with acceleration from
0 – 62 mph in just 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph. The ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox
makes driving smooth and pleasurable without compromising the engine's sporty performance
and offers excellent response whatever the circumstances. For those who want to exploit the
power of the V8 to its fullest, it provides lightning-fast gear changes, whereas for a more relaxing
drive, the gearbox adopts ratios designed to reduce fuel consumption and noise at high speeds,
and offers excellent comfort over long distances.
