Maserati GranTurismo (07 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 25 March 2008 Last Updated: 23 March 2009 More than 60 years ago, the idea of slotting a racing car engine under the bonnet of a road-going model led Maserati to create its first GranTurismo model. The dream and the name have lived on through the years and the latest rendition - another masterpiece of design from Pininfarina - won instant acclaim when it was launched at the end of 2007. It is hardly surprising that this GranTurismo has customers queuing around the world. Arguably the most attractive car of its kind currently available, it oozes the opulence and feel of a thoroughbred and presents stiff opposition to the evergreen Porsche 911 and the revitalized Jaguar XKR. With 433bhp available from its 4.7-litre V8, performance is exhilarating. 4.5 out of 5 Other Maserati reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £82,220 - £110,075 View all new prices Used price range: £32,238 - £101,349 View all used prices Get a Maserati GranTurismo (07 on) information pack Next steps Maserati GranTurismo cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
