New Maserati GranTurismo styled by Pininfarina

Maserati’s sexy new Maserati GranTurismo coupe will be showcased to the public at the upcoming 2007 Geneva International Motor Show. The high performance GT sports car sports a 4.2 liter V8 with 405 horsepower, and a weight distribution of 49:51 front to rear. This unveiling follows the tradition of the Maserati GranTurismo, of which it’s first edition called the Maserati A6 was unveiled to the public at Geneva in 1947. 58 units were produced back then.

    i think pininfarina is good design a proper sexy expensive car, especially the italians
    once design a cadillac allante, well not bad, some pug coupe too,

    when it comes to suv like kinda hunday matrix, or shorty HF lobo (sutera) it just not in its element,

    gugiaro might good at smaller car

    pininfarina is a design firm, so technically they design for everyone! (as long as u have $$$$$$ to pay) Visited them before and they regretted allowing hyundai to put pininfarina on the matrix, jeopardized their image badly. So now only high-end cars ull see pininfarina signature :)

    Very sleek and sexy looking car. Overall the shape resembles the Pininfarina Birdcage a lot.

    Not forgetting Sutera/Hafei Lobo which is also designed by Pinin Farina. Whoever has the cash, can hire them to design their cars but of cos the boss would give their input as well. If the boss loves triangle, triangles will be the theme.

    *Sorry, simply can’t digest the overly triangle design of Sutera/Lobo

    Of course this car will make it to BOLEHLAND. If you take yourself to see the nice salesman at Next Car, write him a cheque for around Rm1million, then 6 months later your shiney new Masser will be on your drive :)

    now thats a maserati, a hard edge cobra headed front, and a rear that looks like a bit like the love child of the quattroporte and the aston martin. Fantastic.

    actually the quattroporte is in the price range of an S-Class and 7-series. Don’t think its in Bentley price range. A common misconception of Maserati as the boss Kafelbel once stated.

    its expensive in boleh-land because its not CKD and that stupid cow known as rafidah (if i can bother to recall her name).
