Guide and Manual

2008 Maserati Granturismo Owners Manual Brochure - So the GranTurismo is larger, costlier, slower, and feature-challenged compared with any variety of coupes that dwell within the $80,000-plus layer, however that is hardly the purpose with this Maserati. Thoughts of comparisons float out the window once one sees the manner the Pininfarina-remodels sheetmetal floats and bends round the car's body with additional visceral realism than a Francois Auguste Rene Rodin sculpture. the opposite cars do not seem like the GranTurismo, and therefore the interior's luxurious hand-stitched surfaces build the others' appear additional commonplace. there is even a small strip of animal skin on the sting of the steering-wheel shift paddles that perpetually reminds the driving force that this is often a special automobile.

Driving the GranTurismo is equally enthralling. On tight roads, the bite from the front tires and therefore the glorious steering feel disguise the car's ample size. The transmission shifts thus quickly and swimmingly that the term "slushbox" doesn't apply. there is ne'er enough on the market force to overwhelm the rear tires, and therefore the handling is neutral at the limit.
