Mansory Modifies the Maserati GranTurismo

Mansory Modifies the Maserati GranTurismo

Source: Mansory | Published: Sat Sep 11, 2010

Mansory has long been known has the specialist for refining luxury automobiles. Now, the company from Bavaria, Germany has added an additional traditional brand to their tuning portfolio. The stylish and sporty conversion of the Maserati GranTurismo is once again proof of the fact that Mansory has excellent know-how when it comes to customizing Italian premium sports cars. Besides, the star, Emily, Flying B, leaping race horse, Bugatti oval and Aston wings, Mansory products now also adorn sports cars with Neptune's trident.

In the first instance, the eye is drawn to the striking Mansory bodywork modifications. A newly designed front spoiler with discreet spoiler lip gives the front a significantly more sporty appearance, and the carbon fiber radiator grille highlights the famous Maserati trident in the center of the grille. Additional air inlets and outlets enable the new light-construction bonnet to optimally regulate the temperature in the V8 engine compartment. The GranTurismo seems much closer to the tarmac thanks to the drawn-down deep door-sills. The carbon fiber spoiler lip at the back, the carbon inlay for the integrated exhaust pipes in the rear apron and a diffuser complete the sporty look. All add-on parts are made from carbon fiber and are manufactured by Mansory using autoclave prepreg processing.

To ensure extra focus to the sporty add-on parts, Mansory uses progressive sport suspension in the front and rear axles, which lower the vehicle's centre of gravity by around 1.3 inches. Contact to the tarmac is maintained by 255/30 R20 front tires and 305/30 R21 tires at the back. Mansory is the first manufacturer worldwide to market forged wheels exclusively for Maserati GranTurismo models. On request of the customer, these wheels are sprayed in the color of the vehicle and decorated with black accents.

The Maserati GranTurismo and GranTurismo S also gain power under the bonnet, thanks to Mansory. A performance-optimized ECU, an air filter with increased air throughput and a sports exhaust system with two double-suction tail pipes enhance the performance of the V8 aggregates by 30 hp each (series: GT 405 hp / GTS 433 hp). At the same time, the torque is increased by around 30 lb-ft compared to the series models (GT 339 lb-ft at 4,750 RPM / GTS 361 lb-ft at 4,750 RPM).

The interior features Mansory's own brand of upholstery. The finest materials have been processed in traditional top-quality craftsmanship to add that individual touch to the inside of the Mansory GranTurismo. The leather used by Mansory for the interior is hard-wearing yet exceptionally soft. The chequered stitch in the ornamental seams on the inside makes for elegance as well as sportiness. Wherever you look: expert handcraft, individual design and top quality. The aluminum pedals and a new, ergonomically designed sporty steering wheel, are additional visual highlights.
