Cool cars
Here's a beauty I discovered lately. The Maserati Gran Turismo. I've been watching 'Entourage' lately and one of the character gets a Maserati quattroporte. A really cool car. But this one is even better, IMO.
The Maserati GranTurismo is an upcoming grand tourer to be produced by Italian automaker Maserati. It was officially presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007. The GranTurismo is a two-door 2+2 coupé. Many design elements come from the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, which is also a grand tourer.
The engine is the same Ferrari-sourced 4.2-litre (4244 cc) unit which is currently used in the Coupe, Spyder, GranSport and Quattroporte, although uprated to a maximum output of 405 hp. The vehicle also boasts a 49/51 front/rear weight distribution—extraordinary for a front-engined car. There is speculation that a GranSport model will carry a 470 bhp 4.7-litre V8 from Alfa Romeo's 8C Competitizione.
At the Barcelona Motor Show Maserati previewed a 4.5-litre V8 version of the GranTurismo,[1] which could be accompanied by a new version of the Cambiocorsa transmission, or the same 6-speed automatic found in the 4.2-litre version and the Quattroporte Automatica. It is also rumored to have approximately 500bhp.
