The “S” Stands For Sexy
Whats better than a 405hp luxurious Maserati? A sexy and more powerful Maserati. New for 2009, Maserati is scheduled to release its most powerful street car ever. Maserati has always been know for its luxury and performance but with the release of the 2009 Maserati Gran Turismo S, Maserati now has its sights set on the likes of Ferrari and Porsche.
The S isn’t lacking in any department. Open the hood and there is a very potent 433 horsepower 4.7 V-8 growling at you, just begging for you right foot to tickle it. Take a peek through those sexy, deep gunmetal colored wheels and you will see the components that make the S version of the Gran Turismo brake comparable to its prancing horse rival. The deep black paint with the dark sinister wheels makes the S look menacing while still managing to be refined.
Dropping your right foot and tapping the gears through the steering wheel mounted shift paddles will get you to 60mph in just 4.8 seconds. Even with its 4,000lb curb weight the Gran Turismo S does not disappoint, whether at the local drag strip or the Autobahn. Standing quarter mile happens in just under 13 seconds, stretch it’s legs on the open roads in Germany and you will see a top speed of 183mph. Maserati has definitely hit the nail on the head with it’s Gran Turismo S. One thing is for sure, Germany’s best better bring something special to the table for ‘09 if they plan to keep up with the best that Alfierie Maserati’s legendary car company has to offer.
