Maserati's new GranTurismo Trofeo is powered by a 542bhp twin-turbocharged V6, and comes with a new variable all-wheel drive system –
Connected to the V6 is an eight-speed ZF unit we already know well, mounted on the back of the engine rather than in a transaxle. The GT is also lighter than the previous model, weighing a refreshingly reasonable 1795kg – 60kg less than the old model in its lightest MC form.Those disappointed by the demise of the V8 engine should note that the Nettuno engine has already been vindicated in the brilliant MC20, and the fact on-paper performance has seen a massive improvement.
Helping the GT achieve these performance figures is a completely variable all-wheel drive system. Depending on the chosen driver modes, the all-wheel drive system can vary from 50/50 in slippery conditions to a complete and physical lock-out of the front axle in ‘Corsa’ mode, making it purely rear-wheel drive.
Maserati has not finished the GT’s long-winded launch program just yet, as it won’t reveal pictures of its interior until January next year. We do have a fairly good idea of what to expect, though, as it’ll incorporate the new touchscreen-intensive dual-screen interface already seen in the Grecale SUV, and its new digital interpretation of the iconic Maserati clock face.
Pricing is also still to be set in the UK, but sales will commence early next year, with customer cars being delivered soon after. The Folgore model will join the range around six months later, and comes with perhaps an even more impressive set of facts and figures.
