Maserati has finally released new images of its stunning GranTurismo, a gorgeous coupe penned by Italian design studio Pininfarina with inspiration clearly taken from Maserati’s larger Quattroporte sedan and its previous Birdcage concept car.
With rumor there’s a new small Maserati coupe in the works and news that the legendary marque is finally turning a profit, things are definitely looking up for the guys from Modena.
This car is SOOOOO HOT.only problem is, PERFORMANCE SUCKS. come on how are u going to get this car to do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds.thats 6series territory. i thought this car should have atleast got an engine powerful enough to send it flying through the 0-60 mark in 4.8/4.6 seconds.

@ Junior - Where, except at a race track, is a half second difference important? To me it's a good thing that Maserati is not concerned with beating everyone in the 0-60 or horsepower race. If that's what's important for you they have the MC12 too, just FYI....

Oh...so true. How bello this one looks. Wonder when Maserati will have the reliability match their designs. I could afford this at 100 Grand but not if it costs as much as a Ferrari to maintain......... Oh well, I guess I am not the target audience.....

I'm with Hector on this one. The GranTurismo is designed to deliver you in speed and comfort to your destination. 0-60 times are not important in cars like these compared to the comfort, ride quality, luggage space etc.

Yeah, but it's emberassing when your pool boy can blow your doors off in his $30,000 Mustang GT... :)

Well of couse it's a better car (duh), my point (and that of Junior, I assume) is that for THIS price, in a 2 door sports coupe, it had better beat the pants off of everything except the most exotic car.
