The Maserati GranTurismo is an unexpected shock of lightning.
Yes, gasoline GranTurismos steer and handle even better, but that traces to their weighing about 1,000 fewer pounds.
On that score, cry a quick tear for the naturally aspirated Ferrari-Maserati V-8 that powered the last-gen GT. Then take consolation from the brand’s Nettuno V-6. This version of the MC20 Cielo’s engine keeps its F1-based pre-chamber combustion tech, but in detuned, wet-sump form. Still, the Nettuno’s 3.0-liter outputs — 483 horses in the base GT Modena, and 542 in the GT Trofeo — stomp all over the V-8’s 454 horses. The torque gain is even larger at 442 or 479 pound-feet, versus 384 with the 4.
Snugged into the GT Folgore’s sculptural seats — swaddled in puffy leather that recalls Moncler ski wear — I dial up Corsa mode via a Porsche-like steering-wheel dial, and cannonade onto the track. With that silly 995 pound-feet of torque, the Maserati will match a Corvette Z06 to 60 mph, before giving ground to that lighter two-seater. The 650-hp Continental GT Speed is known to blaze.
Maserati’s American arm revealed a $174,000 starting price for the GT Modena, or $205,000 for the Trofeo, both lower than media predictions that suggested closer to $200,000 to start. Maserati hasn’t nailed down the Folgore’s price, saying only it will start “slightly higher” than the Trofeo.
