One of the most exciting announcements of this decade for us here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis is the coming of the MC20 Supercar, which will no doubt set the pace for upper-end autos soon. The bloggers on staff at Carbuzz.com claimed that our production staff in Modena is always churning out excellence, and knew that we would be just fine without the input we cherished during years past from the grade-A engineering and engine placement from Ferrari.
We are at long last hard at work on developing a new GranTurismo, and these recent teaser images give one a close idea of what to expect after figuring out through various avenues of the grapevine what they know about the upcoming sports car. After a close look, it appears that the GranTurismo will feature headlights that are similar to what the MC20 will have, and the engine onboard is likely to boast a bit less than 620 horsepower yet just a delightful touch more than 454.
There should be a convertible version in the works as well, and the overall design seems to possess the appearance of an MC20 with different proportions along with some memorable bits from the 2014 Alfieri Concept, which has been put on the consistently-stoked back burner for the time being. We have been delighted to see just how the signature GT brought Maserati back in the luxury performance segment, and as the Car and Driver staff claimed over the spring, the trunk’s decrease in capacity may make room for a cool folding fabric roof.
The Touch Control Plus infotainment system has been praised for its quick responses, intuitive touch, and a consistent step above its competitors in terms of user-friendliness. The new GranTurismo will also feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and possess the same unbridled and raw finesse that has come to be expected from us as Italy’s leading supercar manufacturer. The GranTurismo will follow in the footsteps of the very defined and distinguished Maserati predecessors when it comes to interior features and design and is still satisfyingly on point to be our brand’s first car embracing a 100% electric offering.
The prototypes for cars that are held to standards as high as these undergo very intense road and circuit testing, and prove themselves in many various conditions to be finally ready for a new consumer’s purchase. Folgore is Italian for “Lightning”, and will be used for the battery-electric models in the lineup. Every new model available here at Jim Butler will be 100% made in Italy and will adopt hybrid and battery electric propulsion systems capable of providing the exceptionally high performance we aspire to offer in our vehicles.
We know that the most intense forms of change are right around the corner, and also wholeheartedly predict that models such as the incoming Gran Turismo will meet the needs of car lovers everywhere to once again “Diveto di fermata” with a fine-honed fervor!
