Maserati UK Introduces New Sport Pack for GranTurismo S Automatic

A new sport package has been added to the available options for buyers of Maserati's GranTurismo S Automatic in Britain.

This Sport pack is said to enhance the GranTurismo S Automatic's performance by adding the MC Auto Shift software that allows for faster gear changes and a revised exhaust system, which keeps its bypass valves fully open in Sport mode to provide what the company describes as "an even richer sound".

The package also adds a variety of styling features including include body colored side skirts and front winglets, a black grille featuring the Maserati Trident logo with red accents, black mesh side grilles, smoked out headlights, an integrated rear boot lid spoiler and oval exhaust pipes.

The coupe's sportier looks are rounded off with Grigio Mercury Neptune-design alloy wheels.

Maserati says the 4.7-litre V8 continues to develop 440HP at 7000 rpm and a peak torque of 490Nm (361.4 lb-ft) at 4750 rpm offering the automatic coupe a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5 seconds flat and a top speed of 183 mph (295 km/h).

The package is priced at £3,840, lifting the total price of the GranTurismo S Automatic to £92,480 on the road.

Anderson Germany Brings Maserati GranTurismo S over to the Dark Side

Tuning outfit Anderson Germany has a new proposal for current owners of the Maserati GranTurismo S. The German workshop has developed a line of performance and styling upgrades under the name Superior Black Edition.

Under the bonnet, the 4.7-liter V8 engine is boosted from 440-horses to 492HP via a software optimization program and a new custom exhaust system.

The Italian coupe rides on new 21-inch alloy wheels in a glossy black finish complemented by 265 low profile tires up front and 295 at the rear, while Anderson Germany also lowered the suspension.

The key highlight of the exterior is the silky matt black coating for the body and the glossy black trim details. The smoked out lights and a carbon fiber package that includes exterior mirror covers, a tailgate spoiler and air vent surrounds, round off the car's sinister looks.

The Maserati's cockpit receives carbon fiber trim along with a mix of black leather and alcantara upholstery contrasted by the red stitching, and a customized infotainment system.
