MASERATI GRANTURISMO S - V8 - 4.691 cm
3
- 323 kW
A state-of-the-art wet sump powerplant: the powerful new 4.7 litre V8 engine, can generate 440 Hp at 7,000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 490 Nm at 4,750 rpm.
Specially developed to increase the car’s performance and make the Maserati GranTurismo S an even more thrilling driving experience, it soars to 7,500 rpm, with a rev limiter set at 7,600 rpm.
As well as providing the smoothest of motoring for everyday use, this new engine reveals an unmistakable sporting character as the accelerator pedal goes down, and a deep sound erupts from the
exhaust as the pneumatic bypass valves open.
The increase in displacement compared to the existing Maserati V8 4.2 litre powerplant has been achieved with careful consideration of the unit’s weight and size; the steel cylinder linings make a
major contribution to keeping down the engine’s weight and size, especially its length.
Dynamic performance is further optimised by the single timing chain, which also gives the engine exceptional reliability and minimises fuel consumption by reducing friction.
Sharing the philosophy of the latest Maserati engines, the 4.7 litre powerplant of the GranTurismo S has a wet sump lubrication system, reducing the number of oil pumps to provide a significant
drop in operating noise, another feature in this car’s ideal balance between comfort and sporting performance.
The result is clear: 0 to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds.
