New 2022 Maserati GranTurismo: details and images of new GT car

Maserati’s extended-awaited follow-up to the to start with-technology GranTurismo will lastly be unveiled in the course of 2022, featuring a vintage two-door GT bodystyle and the option of each petrol and completely electric ability. 

Rivalling almost everything from M-driven versions of the BMW eight Series to the Ferrari Roma in petrol type, and EVs such as the Porsche Taycan in electric type, the GranTurismo will also be joined by a drop-prime GranCabrio, possible to get there in 2023. Spyshots have now specified us a glimpse at the new coupe’s glance.

The illustrations or photos, unveiled by the model earlier this 12 months, confirmed the new vehicle in Maserati-branded camouflage wrapping. We can even now see that the GranTurismo sticks to the vintage two-door, four-seat proportions of the prior product, with a extended bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and large rear haunches. 

The new product also appears to borrow inspiration from the MC20 supercar, particularly at the front-stop, with a equivalent headlamp form and intensely sculpted bonnet. The grille appears to be more substantial, even so, and the all round profile of the rear-stop is reminiscent of the outdated GranTurismo’s.

Exhaust tailpipes are just obvious on the prototypes we’ve found, and Vehicle Categorical understands that the vehicle will launch to start with with combustion-engined ability. Technical particulars are however to be confirmed, but a possible engine prospect is Maserati’s new ‘Nettuno’ twin-turbo V6 discovered in the MC20. In that vehicle it generates 621bhp and 730Nm of torque, though it continues to be to be found if it’ll be detuned for the GranTurismo.

There is also the chance that Maserati will continue using its 3.eight-litre twin-turbo V8, which has recently discovered houses in the company’s Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte Trofeo versions. The unit alone is relevant to the engine discovered in Ferrari’s Portofino and Roma, but emissions restrictions could make the V6 the favoured option for the GranTurismo. 

Additional radically, and compared with all of the GranTurismo’s standard rivals to date, it will also be provided with pure electric ability. Set to be branded Folgore, the battery-driven coupe will make use of a three-motor powertrain, with one particular motor mounted on the front axle and two on the rear to make the vehicle all-wheel push. 

That’ll possible also provide torque vectoring tech to the product, even though Maserati also touted an 800v electrical architecture which would let ultra-quick charging. It is also claimed that the electric GranTurismo will have “more than 50 for every cent much more power” than the prior V8-driven GranTurismo, meaning a ability output of close to 680bhp. 

If that figure is suitable, it would possible make the electric GranTurismo the fastest-accelerating edition. Maserati has also mentioned that the EV will be comparatively light-weight, even though the electric motors and battery pack will have a minimum impact on inside place and boot ability. 

A extended driving variety and speedy demand situations have also been promised, but we’re however to see figures to again up those people statements. To be viewed as a ‘GT’ it would require to be able of close to three hundred miles on a demand. 

The GranTurismo is section of the company’s product or service system, announced in 2020, which will see several new versions introduced in the coming decades, including the forthcoming Grecale modest SUV, convertible and electric versions of the MC20, and a new Quattroporte and Levante. Electrical versions of all new versions are also prepared. 

However, the chip lack has compelled delays to the Italian brand’s product debuts. The Grecale, which was originally due to launch in 2021, will now be unveiled some time in the to start with handful of months of 2022. We’d assume to see the GranTurismo next that in the center of the 12 months.
