To keep things short, the new Maserati receives the 4244cc 90°, 32 Valve Twin Overhead Camshaft V8 engine comes equipped with low-pressure variable phase intake cams. It is small and light, with cylinder block and heads made from aluminium and silicon alloy.

It has a high peak power of 96.4 bhp/litre and the response close to a competition unit.

The GranTurismo’s inox steel exhaust system comes equipped with mechanical catalysers that satisfy the most severe anti-pollution regulations without compromising performance.
