2012 Maserati GranTurismo Sport

Maserati is the opposite of Ferrari, delivering style instead of flash, class instead of brash and the promise of potency instead of being defined by it.

The Maserati GranTurismo Sport replaced the GranTurismo S - one of the best-looking coupes available - and sits in between the entry level GranTurismo and race-inspired GranTurismo MC Straddle.

The Sport features LED running lights, picks up an extra 36kW of power and 60Nm of torque over the GranTurismo and is Powered by a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, producing a monsterous 338kW and 520Nm- no turbo chargers here.

A premium, sports-luxury car, light-weight is not preference here but light and responsive steering with very accurate feel helps the GranTurismo Sport when cornering.

Body roll is almost non-existent and traction in the dry is amazing so putting all that power to the road is a non-issue through the limited-slip-diff. Aptly, if you hit the Sport button, the Skyhook dampers firm up, the steering and throttle become sharper and the GranTurismo Sport takes on a whole new demeanour.

Car Advice said in their 2012 review, “Mash the throttle and the already loud exhaust note becomes even more manic and vocal, in fact it becomes highly addictive and makes Sport mode the default for V8 purists.

Offered here is an absolutely impeccable Maserati GranTurismo Sport Coupe in Carbon Black Metallic over Linen leather trim has travelled just 11,000 kilometres.

Accompanied by a complete factory service history and all manuals kept n the leather wallet, this sensational Maserati GransTurismo Sport is the best car available.

Perfect for the daily commute and for weekend getaway drives up the coast to the country for some R&R.
