New Maserati GranSport in Paris
Until now there was really very little clear about the plans of Maserati in Paris. We might the new Quattroporte see? Unlikely. Is it perhaps the final version of the Kubang, Italian SUV? Also, well have to wait a while. As it now looks like we can at the Paris show floor a completely new (draft) sportscar expect. Porsche, make your chest but wet.
GranSport
If we are to believe the rumors would have a pretty spectacular model ready in the French scenes, GranSport baptized. The basis is formed by the Alfa Romeo 4C, which is mainly an excess of carbon fiber will mean. The engine, probably in the middle is mounted, the familiar 4.7 liter Maserati V8 can be. A logical choice would be a new blown V6. This block was already under development at Ferrari and are meant for both Maserati and Alfa Romeo. Estimated as a power above 450 hp and a weight of about 1,200 kg, a 0-100 time of less than 4 seconds to the possibilities.
Exit Gran Turismo
It would be just mean that the coming of the GranSport - mid 2014 - signals the end of the Gran Turismo. It is the question whether the two models are not too much in each others waters would end. For now, however, it remains to be seen. In four weeks we will know everything.
