[Aika Car Aika Spy Original]
Recently, foreign media exposed a group of new generation Maserati GranTurismo models that are undergoing winter testing, although foreign media have also disclosed spy photos of the model before, but the test car at that time was a mule car that was still in the early stage of development, and even "draped" with the body plate of Alfa Romeo Giulia. In contrast, the test car just photographed has a high degree of completion, even if it is separated by camouflage, it is not difficult to find a lot of details of future new cars.
From the photos, the new GranTurismo still continues the elegant and slender body proportions of the previous model, the design of the front part, headlights and mid-net can see the shadow of many mid-mounted sports cars MC20, in order to improve aerodynamics, the front bumper is set up on both sides of the area of the air intakes are very considerable. After turning to the car, the shape of the taillights is easily reminiscent of the previous model. However, the LED light emitting unit with higher lighting efficiency reduces its area and makes the visual effect more recognizable after lighting. As a GT sports car, the new GranTurismo has a diffuser under the rear bumper, and the chrome trim that runs through the rear of the previous model has been retained in the new car.
Although the spy photos exposed this time do not include the interior, through the spy photos of the Interior of the SUV model Grecalle that we previously reported, it can be predicted that its overall design style will change dramatically. Including full LCD meters, the latest version of the car phone touch screen will all appear on the new Gran Turismo.
In terms of power, it is expected that the new car will be equipped with the 3.0T "Nettuno" V6 twin-turbo engine on the MC20, and according to gossip, its power parameters may be lowered. For reference, the MC20, which currently has the same power, has a maximum power of 463 kW (630 hp) and a maximum torque of 730 Nm.
Affected by the chip shortage, Maserati postponed the release of the new generation GranTurismo, which was scheduled to be released in November last year, and it is reported that the new car may be officially released in the middle of the year, followed by a model with pure electric power.
