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.
