2008 Maserati GranTurismo

Now I have never been a fan of the current Maserati designs, aside from the MC12 they all just seem so dull and lifeless – the cardigans of the sports car world. Thankfully judging by these new official photos, the Maserati GranTurismo looks set to change all that.

With its aggressive front end and its rapid sweeping curves it looks more sporting than previous Maserati models. The trademark grill is now more of a menacing snarl rather than a startled blow fish and its staunch stature make it far more intimidating.

Finally Maserati are producing a car which will honour its Ferrari roots. Not at all surprising considering the firm behind the design is none other than Pininfarina, responsible for such brilliant cars as the Enzo, Fiorano and P4/5.

    yes it definitely looks good,
    but I dont know if I would rather have this or an Aston Martin, I think the AM would be my choice, far more.. elegance than this thing

    Is it just me, or are many of the “Grand Tourers” starting to look very similar; The Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari …

    Thank goodness for Lamborghini and their desire to be a little different.

    That looks like an Italian IS250…

    Still a gorgeous thing, though.

    We’ve waited 30 yrs for a model to honour the Maserati marque – this is it !
    A stunning blend of retro and modern styling.
    Yes, it could be described as an Italian Aston Martin but the same is true for other Maserati classics like the Khamsin and Ghibli.

    Decent motor but the italians are always coming up with ace looking cars. Is that a Peugeot 407 grill on it?
