Maserati GranTurismo for Comfort and Style
The Maserati GranTurismo offers everything you would expect from Maserati: style,
technologically advanced and of course, comfort and elegance. Technology The power behind the Maserati GranTurismo involves an eight-cylinder engine that is now among the company's new
power supplies. The manufacturer used aluminum alloy and silicon to construct the cylinder heads. The engine
contains 32 valves that are powered by two overhead camshafts. The camshafts that are located on the aspirated side
obtain their power from a variator. A wet sump controls the car's lubrication system thus reducing the amount of
noise on the interior of the car. Even the minimal noise from the engine has no negative affect on the pleasure of
the drive for passengers or driver. You will find the Maserati responds to acceleration immediately—there is no waiting for it to "get up and go."
This is due in part to the throttle control that is powered electronically and allows the driver to control the car
with just minimal tapping of the pedal. The gearbox on the GranTurismo is controlled hydraulically, a process that allows the engine to perform at peak efficiency. The gearbox is self-adapting and operates automatically if the driver chooses to allow it to do so. This is quite helpful in the low-mid range revs yet has no negative affects on the highest power. This system also allows the driver to change gears up to 7200 rpm, something no other automatic transmission anywhere in the world is able to accomplish. The gearbox offers four settings: Auto Normal works well when you just want to cruise comfortably; Auto Sport for those who enjoy a drive that is sportier and more challenging; Auto ICE helps out in situations of low grip such as snow, rain or ice; and Manual mode allows the driver to choose when he or she wishes or needs to change gears using paddles on the steering wheel. Chassis The distribution of the weight in the GranTurismo allows the car to achieve optimal performance with 49 percent of the weight of the car in the front and 51 percent in the rear. Designers and engineers accomplished this by situating the engine behind the car's front axle. This also provides the driver with an enhanced sense of security regardless of the driving conditions. Suspension One of the major contributors to the precision handling you can expect to achieve in the GranTurismo is the wishbone suspension in both the front and back of the car. The anti-dive mechanism within the system stops the front end from dipping during braking action and the back end from squatting when the driver presses the accelerator. The Skyhook system is an optional piece of equipment that owners can install on their GranTurismo. This system
involves aluminum shock absorbers that constantly adjust the dampers in the car. The technology behind the system
allows it to automatically increase or decrease the dampers based on the road conditions and individual driving
style. Contact sparkscars.com to buy or sell all Maserati models, GranTurismo Gran Cabrio and Maserati Quattroporte0208 740 4443 |
