The new Abarth 695 Maserati Edition features exclusive style details and special technical features developed by Abarth engineers for Maserati. To start with, the 1.4 Turbo T-Jet 16v engine boosted to 180 HP and teamed with the electrically operated manual Abarth Competizione gearbox with steering wheel controls, which enhances the performance of the engine with reduced gearshift times as well as guaranteeing an experience of superior comfort at the wheel.

Created at the Politecnico di Milano Transportation and Automobile design Master under the supervision of Fiat, the GranTurismo Concept 2020 was developed with the goal of combining classic proportions and the brand’s trademark style with some new ideas.

The powerful 4.7-litre V8 engine can now deliver a maximum power of 460 HP (338 kW) and a peak torque of 520 Nm, without penalising fuel consumption and emissions. These parameters, coupled with the electro actuated gearbox featuring MC Shift technology for faster gear changes (down to 100 ms), enable the GranTurismo Sport to reach an impressive top speed of 300 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. The version with automatic transmission and MC Auto Shift management software (which is also used in the GranCabrio Sport and Quattroporte Sport GT S) also benefits from significantly enhanced performance, achieving a top speed of 298 km/h and acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

For many Maserati fans, the ‘update’ of the rear lights in the 2001 introduction of the new model Maserati 4200 GT, replacing the Maserati 3200 GT, was a real step backwards: The curved arching lights on the 3200 GT that had so much character were replaced in the facelift to the 4200 GT by lighting units that were far less sophisticated. G&S EXCLUSIVE has simply reversed this unloved upgrade and re-configured the entire rear end of the 4200 GT using the rear lights from the Maserati 3200 GT as well as a new boot lid to resemble the look of the 3.2-litre coupé. In addition, G&S has tightened the rear section of the coupé with a new rear fender whose powerful diffuser would be a credit and an honour to any GT racing car. As an alternative, there is also a version available with a more restrained rear fender without the diffuser fins. G&S has also created side skirts that suitably connect the front and rear spoilers.

The International press test drive of the Maserati GranCabrio Sport starts today in Trieste, Italy. Over 130 journalists from 30 countries will drive the sportiest version of the Modena-born convertible on the streets of and on the roads around a town central to the history of Italy and of Maserati.

Who would have thought that pre-historic animals like dinosaurs could inspire automotive designs of the future? Yaroslav Chumachenko, 25-years old transportation design student at Istituto Europeo di Design, Turin, Italy contemplated exactly on those lines and came up with the niche concept of futuristic flexible design for Maserati car
