There really isn't much comparison to the A5 at this point in the looks department. The Maserati just looks better, its a fresher look for them than the A5 is for Audi. The A5 should have been something different, not the same bar of soap like Audi's sedans. The A5 isn't in the same league with its R8 and S8 siblings.

Someone at Maserati's marketing department must have had the bright idea of releasing pictures of the GranTurismo on the same day as the A5.

Engine power?

 

[dOmInIX]

I just had a feeling this car would be great looking, and the feeling was good. I like it, it's very nice! Design is a little unconvential but as a whole it's a great new coupe. Hope it gets some stronger engines in future!

 

[PanterroR]

Engine power?

As for the specs, the car is rocking a 405hp 4.2L V8, which is rather dissapointing.

 

[Mr. M]

Hope it gets some stronger engines in future!

I have a feeling that once Ferrari gets its F430 more power, the GranTurismo can finally have its power up.

 

[dOmInIX]

It would be a time to get strong V8, 450-500 hp, I'm tired of Ferrari keeping Maseratis lower on the market because of competition.

Maserati GranTurismo World Debut at Geneva
Styled by Pininfarina

The new Maserati GranTurismo, styled by Pininfarina, will make its worldwide debut at the Geneva Motorshow.

The Maserati GranTurismo is a muscular and sporty car, that can be enjoyed every day and at the same time is engaging for the driver. Its excellent handling and sportiveness make it a point of reference in its category. The Maserati GranTurismo is built with particular attention to comfort, choice of materials and details and with enough room for four people, as only Maserati can do.

The new Maserati GranTurismo is a high-performance sports car, exciting to drive with a 4.2 litre V8 engine, delivering 405 HP, and a weight distribution of 49% at the front and 51% at the rear. It is fitted with an automatic gearbox and equipped with an adaptive control system which adjusts the gear-shifting mode to the driving style and the driving conditions.

Maserati’s tradition of the Gran Turismo concept dates back to 1947 when the Trident Company, following its clients’ demand, unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow its first Gran Turismo, the A6, designed by the great Pinin Farina. It was the first Maserati road car and was produced in 58 units. The car was acclaimed by the automotive press for its advanced technical content and for its avant-garde style solutions.

The new model name – Maserati GranTurismo – is not incidental. Once again, the partnership between Maserati and Pininfarina gives birth to a car that is able to generate emotions and sets itself apart from competitors, due to the technique with which it is built and its unique style.

The new Maserati GranTurismo represents a further step towards the completion of the Trident product range, following the worldwide launch of the Quattroporte Automatic at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
