Vehicle Description

2008 Maserati GranTurismo for sale. Motorcar Classics is pleased to offer this 2008 Maserati GranTurismo coupe. This car is presented in Nero with stunning Rosso Corallo full leather interior. The engine is a 4.2L V8 with only 15155 miles since new. This 2-owner Maserati is in good condition and drives well. No accidents or paintwork. Making its debut for 2008, the dashing Maserati GranTurismo injects a welcome dose of Italian exuberance into the exclusive luxury performance coupe segment. Maserati has been no stranger to long-legged luxury performance coupes throughout its storied past and the GranTurismo is the company's latest variation on this theme. The Ferrari-built eight-cylinder is wonderfully smooth and tractable, and its explosive high-rpm muscle enables the GranTurismo to run with just about any car on the road. Similarly, the GranTurismo strikes an agreeable balance between sports-car handling and long-distance cruising comfort -- just as a proper grand tourer should. The cabin is equally impressive. Hand-stitched leather is practically everywhere you touch, and there's an aesthetic flair here that's missing in its Teutonic competition. There's plenty of modern technology baked into this Maserati. Controls are where you'd expect them to be, and the driving position is first-rate. Note that the well-bolstered rear seat actually accommodates two adults without much difficulty. The GranTurismo is a four-passenger luxury performance coupe. Standard equipment includes alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, an electronically adjustable suspension, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps with washers, leather upholstery, heated 10-way power front seats with driver memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose surround-sound audio system and a hard-drive-based navigation system, antilock brakes, traction control and stability control, as well as front-seat side airbags and head-protecting side-curtain airbags for front passengers. The GranTurismo is propelled by a 4.2-liter V8 that pumps out 405 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. Maserati estimates a 0-60 sprint of 5.1 seconds. The engine is designed and built by Ferrari, but its unique crankshaft and cylinder heads distinguish it as a Maserati mill. A six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles routes the V8's power to the rear wheels.
