Description
One hundred years of the Trident badge. Bodies now made back in Modena. And a 3-litre V6 twin-turbo Nettuno engine — the same one that debuted in the MC20 — sitting front mid-mounted in a car that does 0 to 100 in 3.9 seconds and looks like nothing else on sale today. This is the Maserati Gran Turismo facelift and evo India drove it in Italy.
The Maserati Gran Turismo facelift gets a new horizontal line that splits the body into two distinct halves — a technical lower section and a more expressive Italian upper half. The three side vents that have been a Maserati trademark since 1947 are still there. The quad tail lamps are still there. The proportions, the stance, the roofline — all of it unchanged because nothing needed changing. It is classically beautiful in a way that most modern cars simply are not.
Inside, the Gran Turismo gets a gorgeous Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with fixed metal paddles, knurled metal gear selector buttons replacing the old black plastic ones and an optional Sonus Faber sound system with 1,195 watts across 19 speakers. The seats are comfortable. The cabin has the right grand touring feel. Some cubby hole fit and finish lets it down but not enough to matter at 200kmph on an Italian expressway.
