In 2007, the Gran Turismo was launched. Considered too Americanized by Maserati’s fans (too big, no manual gearbox), this coupe finally seduced them over the years, with its 4.2-litre V8 borrowed from Ferrari, increased to 4.7-litre on the version S. This racing variant in GT4 category, here in a “test car” version, was introduced in 2009.
