As one of Maserati's most classic sports cars, how can the GranTurismo be discontinued so easily?
In fact, Marsalati has been planning how to "revitalize" it. Not long ago, the new Maserati GranTurismo is also determined to be officially unveiled in 2022, and will be equipped with the return of the fuel version and the pure electric version, and will also derive a convertible version.
Although the new car is still in a state of heavy camouflage, we can still roughly observe the details.
Through the road test spy photos, it can be seen that the new Maserati GranTurismo will also use the family's most classic sharkmouth grille. In addition, some of the design elements of the MC20 model were drawn, including this headlight set that blended with the bonnet.
The new Maserati GranTurismo retains the streamlined body shape of the two-door Coupe and continues to show a strong coupe characteristic.
On the basis of the original two-door four-seat layout, it is also promised to launch a convertible version of the model, combined with the smooth coupe body shape and associated with The Italian style, you can guess its stunning "look".
Due to emissions and other issues, the new Maserati GranTurismo will abandon the previous V8 engine and instead use Maserati's own 3.0 L twin-turbo V6 engine, which is currently installed on the MC20 model, with a maximum output of 620 horsepower and a peak torque of 729 Nm.

In order to cater to the development of electrification, the new Maserati GranTurismo will also launch a pure electric powertrain, and it is expected to use a three-motor layout, with an output of 700 horsepower and a cruising range of about 500 kilometers.
It is worth mentioning that in order to speed up the layout of electrification products, Maserati also spent 800 million euros to upgrade the Turin factory in Italy, and it is certain that the new Maserati GranTurismo pure electric version will also be put into production at the factory, which is 100% pure Made in Italy.
Under the sweep of the global electrification wave, even the "top class" supercar companies have not been able to escape, and the launch of the new Maserati GranTurismo pure electric version will undoubtedly become the brand's first pure electric model, of course, will also create a "ceiling" of pure electric vehicle prices, referring to the price of discontinued fuel versions (2.198 million -2.888 million).
Looking at the current "top-stream" electrification players, there are really not a few that can compete with them at the price level, and can only look forward to the follow-up Tesla Roadster.
Undoubtedly, Maserati GranTurismo, which returns to the market with a new attitude, is bound to have a full range of product strength improvements, and will also support the Maserati super luxury sports car lineup with MC20 models, in addition, the emergence of granTurismo pure electric version also officially marks Maserati's entry into the era of electrification.
Of course, the question is also, when we have the strength to choose Maserati, can we still hear its sound?
Looking forward to follow-up information.
