2009 Maserati GranTurismo Review
The S gets a new version of Maseratis Ferrari-derived aluminum V-8, with a 2.0-millimeter bore increase (to 94.0mm) and a 4.7mm stretch in stroke, yielding 4691cc versus 4244. With the car operating in Sport mode, which opens a pair of shortcut valves in the exhaust system, this adds up to 433 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque versus the 4.2s 405 and 340.
Walkaround
The 2009 Maserati GranTurismo lineup expands to include a top-line S model. This four-passenger coupe shares much of its basic design with Maserati's Quattroporte sedan. The standard powertrain is a 405-hp 4.2-liter V8 and 6-speed automatic transmission with steering-column-mounted shift paddles. New for 2009 is an S model with a 440-hp 4.7-liter V8 shared with the Alfa Romeo 8C. Unlike most front-engine cars, the GranTurismo has a rear weight bias, which Maserati says improves handling. Standard safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and front curtain airbags. Standard on all models are dual-zone climate control, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, and a rear obstacle detection system. Also standard are a navigation system, 10-way adjustable front seats with memory that power forward to ease entry to the rear seats and a power tilt and telescopic steering column that raises and lowers for easier ingress.
Summary
What you might not expect, though, is a new six-speed automated manual transaxle. Supplied by Graziano, the new unit replaces the GTs ZF six-speed and employs a dry twin-plate clutch. Though not one of the newfangled twin-clutch gearboxes, it has six operating modes, and in the most aggressive, Maserati says shift time goes from 300 milliseconds to 100. The downside of the new transaxle is that operation in full automatic mode is irritatingly slow. But the Maserati marketeers say this shouldnt matter because the S should be regardedand drivenas a manual. They also expect some 200 to 300 U.S. buyers to step up to the $135,000 base pricesome $21,000 more than the GTswith deliveries beginning in November.
