MASERATI GRAN TURISMO S SUPERIOR BLACK EDITION

To choose a Maserati GranTurismo, a coupé manufactured by the world famous Italian premium car workhop, as a base for possible gentle corrections of this near to perfection driving machine, it demands a lot of mastership and workmanship. But ANDERSON Germany, at home at Dusseldorf and other places in Germany, has rendered several spectacular examples of its efficient inventiveness.

Solely the complete car coating in silky matt black makes blood run cold for many apologists of automobile art made in Italy. Only the window frames, grill and the rear logo are made in shining black. Matching to the whole ensemble both front and tail lamps are tinted.

This cannot go without a tire-wheel-combination of special nature. ANDERSON has chosen proprietary glossy black exclusive rims with carbon framing in 21″ all around, completed by sized 265 tires in front and 295 rear. Not thinkable without adequate lowering. Besides, the exclusive sports engine bonnet, the exterior packet in Carbon – exterior mirrors, the tailgate and roof ledges, as well as the lateral left and right air inlets – merits to be mentioned. Corresponding to the high exclusive demands, the premium car manufacturer has given to the car more sportive front and rear aprons with matching to central exhaust system having remote controllable valve command in two sound levels. The result of this indispensable measure is, on the one side, 13 kg economy of weight and, on the other hand, a more of about 12 HP. The whole made by ANDERSON power increase by means of exhaust enhancement, racing cats and software optimization climbs from already fine 440 serial hp up to meanwhile 492 hp.

The interior also has been pushed up by carbon packet, containing the air inlets, door knobs, the switch desk in the roof liner, the door sill panels, the steering wheel, the seat regulation levers, the shifting paddles, as well as the radio mask. Apropos infotainment: of course, customized sound system with especially made monitor in the dash board, monitors in the headrests, PS3 player, loud speaker, subwoofer and amplifier ensure the appropriate sound. The other grafting works of the interior in black carbon leather combined with also black Alcantara, keder piping and red rhombus seams are based upon the exclusivity of the whole „Synthesis of the arts” and, thus, suitable without any limits!

Maserati Quattroporte

It’s hard to believe, but the four-door luxury touring sedan of the Maserati from Bella, Italy has been already manufactured since 1963. The saloon design always followed the motto: A luxury sports car with a place for four. Obviously, the models are marked with Roman numerals and since 2003 they have been “named” – Quattroporte luxury liner V designed by Pininfarina.

The specialists at Marc Reilly at MR Car Design in Erftstadt have also implemented this as any other task perfectly and tried the exotics, but obviously returned to the initial saloon look. Finally, it would be an outrage to use simple spoilers in this dream car. Moreover, the software has been discreetly optimized, what added 30 hp and made it to be 430 hp now and also 480 Nm of maximum torque. MR Car Design also used the same tiresome Vmax where possible, which should certainly welcome the driver of this car. A dynamic pressure-optimized stainless steel exhaust system with four tailpipes 76 millimeters in diameter each matches the increased power output. With the complete covering of the vehicle in black, the window tinting is essential.

9×22 inch Vossen rims at the front axle with 245/30R22 tires, 10,5×22 inch rims at the rear axle with 295/25R22 tires and fifteen millimeter spacers in the rear axle, on the one hand, give the Italians an improved stability and at the same time, on the other hand, grant a better appearance. In addition, H&R springs carefully lower the Maserati by 20 to 30 mm. As mentioned before, MR Car Design performs tasks of any kind in a perfect way.

Maserati’s flagship was produced in 2008 and was used by the Italian government as an official car. The President and the Head of government, however, each drive an armored version, which fuel consumption rate, because of its weight, is a carefully guarded state secret…

2011 Maserati GranCabrio Sport Unveiled

Monday, February 21st, 2011

After stunning the world with the GranCabrio at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Maserati will use the 2011 Geneva Motor Show to take its grand-touring convertible to a new level of performance and handling with the GranCabrio Sport.

Conceived to give the GranCabrio a harder-edged model to sit alongside the GranTurismo S and the Quattroporte Sport GT S, the GranCabrio Sport uses a more powerful and fuel-efficient version of Maserati’s, all-alloy 4.7-litre V8, coupled with the ZF six-speed automatic transmission.

This naturally aspirated engine produces in this configuration 331 kW (450 horsepower) and has 510 Nm at the peak of its rich, thick torque curve. Maserati’s Friction Reduction Program has made the GranCabrio Sport’s engine more reactive to the driver’s most-nuanced inputs, while reaching a 6% reduction in fuel consumption. The top speed of the GranCabrio Sport is 285 km/h.

This six-speed transmission is equipped with the super-fast MC Auto Shift software and has been developed for the GranCabrio Sport directly from the transmission in the Quattroporte Sport GT S. The MC Auto Shift provides optimised gearshift response resulting in an even-greater engagement.

The handling has received attention, too, with an upgrade and revision of the Skyhook active-suspension system – now with a sportier tuning – and the adoption of grooved and drilled dual-cast brake discs.

Visually, the GranCabrio Sport is characterised by a more-pronounced dynamic look. This look begins at the GranCabrio’s distinctive nose with a black grille and a Trident with red accents. The headlights now have a black look with white sidemarks, while front corner splitters and the redesigned side skirts are both body coloured. The GranCabrio Sport also debuts a new body colour for Maserati: Rosso Trionfale inspired by the red Italian national colours used on 1950s racing Maseratis – in 1957, Juan Manuel Fangio won his fifth F1 World Title at the wheel of a red Maserati 250F.

The GranCabrio Sport will be on sale in all of Maserati’s 62 markets starting from summer 2011
