In-game Description[]
"A masterpiece of tradition, incorporating racing car performance that is not apparent at first glance."
Maserati's Gran Turismo S - not to be confused with the driving simulator of the same name - was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show as the high-performance version of Maserati's handsome Gran Turismo coupe.
Although there's not much that visually separates the two cars, there are significant differences under the sheet metal; the most noteworthy of which being the drivetrain.
For starters, the displacement of the DOHC V-8 in the Gran Turismo S was increased to 4691 cc, 500 cc more than the base car. Mated to this revitalized power plant was a state-of-the-art semi-automatic gearbox dubbed "MC Shift". MC Shift allowed drivers the choice between a smooth-shifting automatic transmission befitting pure luxury car or a quick-shifting sequential manual transmission where shifting is performed via paddles on the steering wheel.
And because it was a transaxle (with the gearbox mounted on the rear differential side), the front/rear weight distribution was drastically improved, making the Gran Turismo a better handling machine.
Chassis setting for the Gran Turismo S were specially matched to the higher performance nature of this vehicle via a firmer, reinforced suspension and 6-piston brake calipers. Despite the two cars looking virtually identical, the Gran Turismo S possessed a more athletic nature than the base car, while still delivering luxury an elegance that has made the marquee famous for the nearly 100 years.
Brand Central (GT7)[]
The sports coupé is an iconic Maserati offering... And this GranTurismo S was specifically built to be a high-performance variant. Not only has its engine displacement been increased to produce even more power and torque... But it also features a transaxle layout, achieved by altering the placement of the transmission. Endowed with both style and substance, this is a car that definitely means business.
Used Cars (GT7)[]
The Maserati is the de facto standard for luxury Italian sports cars. This Gran Turismo model is representative of the company's best qualities. Its finely-crafted V8 engine was assembled by Ferrari... And no expense was spared in the construction of its RWD chassis. Additionally, the transmission has been moved for this S model to ensure optimal front-rear weight distribution. That, and the handling is absolutely stellar—just as one would expect from a Maserati.

The Maserati GranTurismo...[1] Is a classic interpretation of Italian style and sportiness by Pininfarina. The long bonnet, set-back cabin... And compact tail are immediately recognisable. These extremely distinctive proportions are a synthesis of the typical dynamic balance of the GT category. That said, there are elements that renew the historic identity of Maserati's design... Such as the three little vents behind the front wheel.
