Brand Spankin’ New Images: Maserati GranTurismo
Adding to our already massive Maserati GranTurismo, here are some new images of the sexy Italianess. In the words of Jason Plato from Fifth Gear: “It’s a bit like marrying a supermodel, then finding out a couple of weeks later she likes reading books.” But of course, that’s until you hit the Sport button or just cash out extra money for the 440-hp GranTurismo S. Refresher: Maserati GranTurismo is powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine, delivering 405-hp giving it the ability...

Maserati GranTurismo 4.2 V8
  IF someone gave you a Maserati GranTurismo for nothing and offered to meet its running costs you could be forgiven for assuming you had died and gone to heaven. However, if you had to pay the necessary £78,605 from your own pocket and then finance the ongoing bills you might think twice. That is not to say that you wouldn’t end up with the Italian supercar anyway but along the way you would check out the rival Jaguar XKR, Porsche 911, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW M6, Mercedes-Benz CL500...

2009 Maserati Quattroporte
 The Maserati Quattroporte was a car that was praised for its sinuous lines in equal measure to how much it was reviled for the inclusion of an automated-manual transmission. The transmission complaints have been blunted for 2008, with the addition of a six-speed ZF hydromechanical automatic, and now the rest of the car has gone under the knife for 2009. The biggest change for '09 is the inclusion of the GranTurismo S's front-mid-mounted 4.7-liter V-8 in the new Quattroporte S. Standard...

Spied: 2010 Maserati Quattroporte
