The Original Model: The Art of Italian Grand Touring
The Maserati GranTurismo made its debut in 2007 at the Geneva Motor Show, marking Maserati's return to the segment of grand GT coupes. Designed by Pininfarina, it embodies the excellence of Italian design with its flowing lines and timeless silhouette that combines elegance and sportiness.
Packed with the legendary 4.2 or 4.7-liter Ferrari V8 depending on the versions, the GranTurismo develops between 405 and 460 horsepower. This exceptional engine, coupled with a perfectly balanced chassis, offers performance worthy of the greatest Italian sports manufacturers while maintaining the comfort of a true grand tourer.
Produced for twelve years, the GranTurismo quickly established itself as one of the most beautiful aesthetic successes of the modern brand, appealing to an international clientele in search of exclusivity and Italian refinement.
Maserati: The Legacy of the Trident
At the launch of the GranTurismo in 2007, Maserati was undergoing a period of rebirth under the aegis of the Ferrari group. The brand, with its century-old heritage, sought to reclaim the luxury grand touring segment with models that blend tradition and modernity.
Founded in 1914 in Bologna by the Maserati brothers, the trident brand has forged a legendary reputation in motor racing. From Formula 1 circuits to mythical roads like those immortalized by our miniatures of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Maserati has written some of the most beautiful pages in automotive history. This sporting expertise naturally finds its way into every road model, making each Maserati a true sports car dressed as a grand tourer.
The Anecdote: When Maserati Reinvents Grand Touring
The story of the GranTurismo begins with a bold challenge: to create a Maserati capable of competing with the most prestigious European grand tourers. The project, internally called "Project M138", mobilized the best Italian engineers and Pininfarina studios to birth an exceptional automobile.
A delightful anecdote recounts that during the first tests of the prototype, engineers deliberately limited the performance to preserve the grand touring character of the vehicle. The goal was to create a car fast enough to provide intense sensations, yet civilized enough to cover hundreds of kilometers in the greatest comfort.
The GranTurismo quickly became the ambassador of the Italian lifestyle worldwide. From the boulevards of Los Angeles to the roads of the French Riviera, it perfectly embodies this automotive "dolce vita" that only Italian manufacturers know how to create. Its commercial success exceeded all expectations, proving that there was still a market for authentic grand touring.
This philosophy of beauty and good living is also reflected in other Italian creations of the time, like the models you can discover in our Ferrari collection or our Lamborghini miniatures.
