Introduced in 2007, the Maserati GranTurismo underwent some evolutions in the following years. In 2008 a version with more marked sporting characteristics was set up, the GranTurismo S, which was fitted with the 4.7-liter V8 engine, the same as the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, with 440 horsepower and higher performance: maximum speed 298 km / h, acceleration from 0 to 100km / h in 4 ”9. In 2012 the "S" was replaced by the GranTurismo Sport.
