Maserati Granturismo S The engine and gearbox on the Maserati GranTurismo S are arranged in the Transaxle layout, typical of high-performance sports cars and representing the Maserati technological DNA. The front-mounted engine and the gearbox, which is located to the rear, are rigidly connected by a tubular element containing the propshaft. This solution gives excellent weight distribution, 47% over the front axle and 53% over the rear axle, which translates into excellent dynamics and top performance. At the wheel, the Maserati GranTurismo S is more rigid and compact, thanks to the suspension layout developed specifically to support the new weight distribution. Vehicle roll has been reduced significantly as a result of the modified springs, bars and dampers, and this has benefited handling and performance. On the outside, the Maserati GranTurismo S is distinguished by a number of aesthetic modifications which, although discrete, are highly effective and make the car body appear sportier without abandoning the sleekness of the lines masterfully designed by Pininfarina. The spoiler integrated into the boot lid and the new-design side skirts help to improve the flows around the car. On top of that, the Maserati GranTurismo S boasts special new 20” rims, which are designed to resemble the Trident, Maserati’s symbol.
