The Maserati GranTurismo is the best vehicle out of Maserati's current lineup and one of the greatest cars to ever wear the trident badge. The name "Gran Turismo" means "grand touring" in Italian, for those of you not familiar with this car and/or its background. It was introduced in 2007 to replace the aging GranCoupe and Spyder. Its sole engine option is a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V8 developed by Ferrari ranging from 433 to 454 horsepower and 361 to 384 foot-pounds of torque. It can blast from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 to 4.7 seconds, onto a top speed of 183-185 mph. Its sole gearbox option is a six-speed automatic. A mid-cycle refresh was given to the GranTurismo in 2012. Called the GranTurismo Sport, this version received a new front fascia, which is similar to that of the more track-focused MC Stradale (introduced in 2011), a modest power increase, and a decrease in overall weight. A redesigned GranTurismo is expected to debut sometime next year, and it has already been confirmed that the new model will only be a coupe. The Maserati GranTurismo is a phenomenal car and one of the best looking vehicles in its segment. I've seen quite a few of these on the streets and they continue to grab my attention and fascinate me.
