Thistechnologyispart ofMaserati's DNA and derivesfromthe Trident's closelink withthe world ofracing. In contrastto previousversions, the system alsoincorporatesthe MC-SuperFastshiftfunction, which furtherreducesgearshifttimesduringsportsdriving.
In technicalterms, Robotizedgearboxisan electro-actuatedmechanicaltransmission withdry twin-plateclutch, sixspeeds(plus reverse) and triple-conesynchroniserson 1st and 2nd, and dualconeon the othergears. The hydrauliccontrolismanagedby the controlunitthroughthe paddlesintegral withthe steeringcolumn, the layout of whichishighlyergonomicand effectivein extremedrivingconditions, asamply demonstrated.
The six-speedgearboxincorporatesa dual-plateclutch, a solutionderivedfromthe world ofcompetitive racing whichisparticularlyrecommendedforthe mostsportycars. The reduceddimensionsofthe clutchunit(Ø 215 mm), and the small-diameter flywheel(Ø 240 mm), keepthe weightofthe unitdown significantly, and clearly reducesthe powerunit's total inertiacomparedtoa single-platesystem. Thistypeof arrangementallowsthe top enginespeedtobe reachedmore easily, and resultsin a more immediate gearboxresponse, quickergearchangesand, finally, improveddriving dynamics.

AUTO NORMAL Mode
In Auto mode the gear change is managed completely automaticallyby the transmission electronic control system. The control unit determines engine speed and moment of the shift as well as its speed, based on parameters such as vehicle speed, engine speed and the driver's request for torque and power. In AUTO mode a gear can also be requested manually through the paddles behind the steering wheel (gear suggestion).
The system recognises the type of driver by means of functions that assess the driver's style of driving through lateral and longitudinal acceleration and accelerator pedal movement. If a sportier driving style is recognised, the "UP" shifts are moved to a higher number of engine revs. The control system also recognisesthe type of road, adapting gear changes when the road climbs or falls, on a bend, in town and on motorways.
AUTO NORMAL mode is the mode most designed for comfort: changingto a higher gear is required as soon as possible in order to obtain the lowest level of vibrations and acoustic return from the engine. Shifting is managed in such a way as to ensure that gear changes are ultra-smooth. This mode also ensures lower fuel consumption when combined with a normal and non-aggressive driving style. In AUTO NORMAL mode the sporty exhaust by-pass valves stay closed, which results in greater acoustic comfort whilst driving.
This does not mean, however, having to give up on the car's sporty nature: during sports driving, with frequent opening of the throttle, gearshiftspeeds approach those of the AUTO SPORT mode.
AUTO SPORT Mode
AUTO SPORT mode isactivatedwiththe transmissionin auto mode and bypressing the SPORT buttonlocatedon the centredashboard: gearchangingisstillmanaged automaticallybythe transmissioncontrolunit, butbyvaryingthe speedofthe operationstoopen up and reduce torque, disengage, selectand engagegear, close the clutchand restoreenginetorque.

ComparedtoAUTO NORMAL mode, shifting up takesplaceat higherenginespeeds, whereasmovingdown a gearisaccompaniedbya more pronouncedheel-and-toe effect.
In AUTO mode aswell, withthe SPORT buttonon, the pneumaticexhaustvalvesopen so thatthe enginecan achievetop performance: besidescontributingtoa fullerand deeperenginesound, the reducedbackpressuregeneratedallowsthe enginespeedto increasemore quicklyand achievea highermaximumpower.

The Maserati GranTurismoS offersthe samesuspensionlayout asthe 4.2 L engine version. However, italsofeaturesa specialdevelopmentdesignedtoreallyexploit the greaterpoweroutput ofthe 4.7 V8 and harnessthe capabilitiesofferedbythe Transaxlesystem.
The Maserati GranTurismoS isfittedasstandard withfixed-ratingsteel dampers modifiedwiththe introductionofnewspringsand dampers, whichoffer10% more dampingforceand are repositionedin termsofcompression/extensionratioso asto match the car's differentspecification. The diameterof the reartorsionbar hasalso beenincreasedtomakeitmore rigid. Thesemodificationshaveresultedin a 10% reductionin body rollwhich, combined withthe excellentweightdistribution, makesthe Maserati GranTurismoS particularly agile and responsivetodriver instructions: in a successionofbendsitappearsquick and intuitive whenenteringand findingthe centreof the bendand speedywhen negotiatingthe bend. Furthermore, the driver can accelerate earlierwhencomingout ofthe benddue tothe reducedloadtransfers.
As analternative tothe standard fixed-ratingsuspension, the Maserati GranTurismoS maybeprovided, uponrequest, withSkyhookelectronic controlsuspensionsfeaturing aluminiumbody damperswithcontinuousdampingvariation; in thiscase the hardware modificationsare accompaniedbyspecialmanagement software.
The Skyhook electronic suspension management system is able to continuously monitor the suspension damping: the system acts through acceleration sensors which record the movements of each wheel and thus ensure that any surface unevenness is absorbed and the highest level of comfort guaranteed. A further advantage of the Skyhook electronic suspension controlsystem is that the driver can choose from two different settings: Normal, which allows travel with the highest level of driving comfort, and Sport, which gives a harder ride setting with more reduced roll angles and load transfers, thereby enhancing the agility and stability of the car body. In the Sport configuration the handling of the Maserati GranTurismo S is comparable with that guaranteed by fixed-rating dampers. The choice of suspension is very much dependent on driver preference: single-rating dampers make the driver feel more "at one" with car, which will convey the slightest change in road condition, without being filtered by the electronics. Thanks to the operation of the electronic control, the Skyhook suspensions ensure the best compromise between comfort and handling in all driving conditions.

The Maserati GranTurismoS isfittedwitha high-performancebrakesystem, which usesdual-casttechnologyforthe frontbrakediscs, developedin collaborationwith Brembo and usedforthe first timein the automotivefieldon the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S.
In contrasttoconventionalcast-irondiscs, the dual-castdisc consistsofa cast-iron brakingring and analuminiumhub, makingitpossibletocombine the advantages offeredbycast iron's performance at temperature withthe aluminium's light weight.

Hill Holder and Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
The Maserati GranTurismo S is equipped with the "Hill Holder" function, which aids the driver during hill starting. The device holds the car braked fora few seconds (the time varies depending on road incline), so that the driver has time to move his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the car moving. Similarly to the model with automatic transmission, the MaseratiGranTurismo S is equipped with an Electric Parking Brake (EPB). This system, in addition to making handbrake actuation easier, means that the driver can forget all about activating/deactivating the park brake, since it engages automatically when there is no engine power and deactivates whenthe accelerator pedal is pressed.
In place of the traditional mechanical lever, the electric park brake can be switched on simply by activating an electric control located on the centre tunnel. Whenever the car has to be moved with the engine off, the automated switch may be disabled using the "Park off" button in the central portion of the dashboard.

The MMS uses Bluetooth technology, which means that the system can be connected to a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. The connection enables the MMS to be used for making or receiving calls (by means of the hands-free function), and for managing the mobile phone address book. The connection can be established in two ways:
1. By pairing a mobile phone with the MMS.
2. By linking a stored mobile phone to the MMS.
The mobile phone only has to be paired with the MMS on the firstconnection. Pairing can only be done from the mobile phone; it cannot be done from the MMS interface, since the system is not configured to search for Bluetooth devices. Linking a stored mobile phone connects the MMS to a phone which has already been paired with the system. A link must be established each time that the user wishes to operate the Bluetooth mobile phone via the MMS. Unlike pairing, this operation can be performed either from the mobile phone or from the MMS.
Pairing a mobile phone
WARNING: Before proceeding with the connection, consult the userguide of the mobile phone to be paired with the MMS system.
To pair a phone with the system, the Bluetooth function must be activated on both devices. To prepare the MMS for pairing with a mobile phone, proceed as follows: -switch on the mobile phone; -turn the ignition key to ON without starting the engine; -switch on the MMS by pressing the rotary knob 20; to activate the Bluetooth pairing function on the mobile phone, refer to the instructions in the user guide supplied with the phone. During the pairing operation, the phone requests a PIN code from the user, see page 5 “Authentication code”. If the code is entered correctly, the connection between the two devices is established. Depending on which address book synchronisation mode is set, see page 5 “Address book synchronisation mode”, address book contacts stored in the mobile phone can be browsed directly from the MMS. Once the connection is established, a message appears on the MMS display informing the user that the pairing operation is complete.
The MMS can be paired with up to 10 devices. If 10 paired devices are already stored in the system, to store a new one simply select a listed device,which will be deleted in favour of the new device.

Press the MODE button, or press the MENU button and select Telematic mode, to access the Bluetooth screen, see Fig. 1. The screen indicates the following parameters:
A) connection status
B) network operator
C) name of the paired device
D) battery charge level
E) roaming indicator (if enabled) Disconnection
The Bluetooth connection may be interrupted in one of three ways:
1.By interrupting the connection from the mobile phone, following the steps described in the corresponding user guide, or by switching the mobile phone off;
2. By means of the MMS interface.
4 “List of connected devices”;
3.By moving the Bluetooth-enabled phone away from the MMS so that the signal leaves the MMS reception area. Disconnection is indicated by thepop-up message shown in Fig. 2.
Disconnecting the telephone does not delete the list of calls stored in the call log. To delete the list, proceed as follows:
-press the MENU button
-select icon A and confirm by pressing the rotary knob
-select and confirm, by pressing the rotary knob, the “Telephone Functions" option;
-select and confirm, by pressing the rotary knob, the “Delete call log”, option, see Fig. 3;
The log will not be deleted until the operation has been confirmed a second time.
Switching on the MMS
Each time that the MMS is switched on and provided that Bluetooth mode is active, the system searches for previously paired devices (stored in the memory). The search begins with the last paired device and moves on to previous devices in chronological order.
The search ends when the MMS detects a paired phone and establishes the connection, or when it detects an unpaired phone. In the latter case, to establish a connection, first pair the telephone by selecting ”PAIR TELEPHONE”. If the system fails to find a device, the search ends and the Bluetooth function is disabled.
Making and receiving calls
Calls can be managed either from the mobile telephone or from the MMS. The MMS display indicates the status of the active call, whether incoming and outgoing. To make an outgoing call from the MMS, open the Call menu as follows:
-press button (4) or
