Maserati Coupè : inspired once to the maserati of

Maserati Coupè

The Maserati is inspired to of once it is very elegant, drawn by giugiaro, the places can entertain only behind two children.

Beginning from the month of September 2004, in fact, it will be available near the commercial net the evolution Model Year 05 of these two models, an evolution that as usual it doesn't twist lines and contents, but it is to intend above all him as tangible sign of a continuous evolution of style.The principal aesthetical changes concern the adoption of a new anterior bumper, endowed with an unpublished fillets horizontal calandra, inspired to that climbed on on the Quattroporte, so much to subsequently underline the family-feeling of the range Maserati. New also the back bumper, more sportsman, that englobes the ample outlets of air protected by a sweaters net holds of black color.

Particularly in the version Coupe, the bond with the Quattroporte is subsequently strengthened by the positioning, on the back uppercuts, of the classical oval logo with arrow stylized by Frua in the '63.Se as motto, the improvements concern particularly the style of the two models, it was permissible to wait him for minute interventions in the inside preparations which now allow to have a covering in skin of different color, in contrast, for the central zone of the seats and the bridge, and for the superior panels of the doors.The instrumentation has besides a white and blue new sporting graphics of colors, of easy reading, while it is becoming also of series the kit of color aluminum for the console and the mouldings of the doors.

Other changes concerning the insides, see the central tunnel redrawn with a vain greater portaoggetti, always useful.It notices technical regarding the change, now in fact the levetta for the insertion of the reverse also has the functionality "D" of Drive, for the graft of the first march.Passing a reference to the outside goes to the you look for to seven races that with the MY 05 enter to belong to the endowment of series, while those to fifteen races are available without additional price as special preparation .Infine, the range you body shop for the models Coupé and Spyder it becomes wealthy of a new tonality denominated metalizzata "Copper Ghibli" of sure effect.

Maserati Spyder :also without roof, its body shop is fascinating and aggressive

Maserati Spyder

The form defines a coupe to two volumes with two places buckets, extremely compact in the line and with a tail from the sporting impact.

The footstep is derived from the Maserati Spyder and allows an excellent maneuverability besides a great facility of insertion curve to which joins him a notable torsional rigidity.
Pure power, active suspensions, safety and...4254cc, eight cylinders to V of 90°. A real assembled of power, light and compact, almost pits a motor been exclusively born for the runs. 390 colts, are really the case to say seen him/it the origins Ferrari, to 7000 turns to the minute and 451Nm to 4500 turns of maximum couple. Values indeed from shiver for the Spyder of the Trident, thanks to which goes off from zero to one hundred km / h in alone 4.9 second making to mark well 283km/h of maximum speed.

Insured fun therefore, with the possibility to choose, during the purchase, among the "classical" change manual to six relationships or the sequential automated "Cambiocorsa": derived by the world of the F1, this system is able to change relationship in few millesimis of second acting on the commands set on the steering wheel or in completely automatic formality.
The road qualities of the Maserati Spyder, are excited from the active suspensions Skyhook: you develop in collaboration with Mannesmann-Sachs, they found their operation on a series of sensors that you/they constantly record the movements of every wheel and the body car, and they transmit them to a central computer: from the elaboration of these data, "it is born" instant for instant the setting of the suspensions, contemplated to the confort in standard and more rigid and sporting formality with the active led on the pulsantino sport to the center of the console.


The braking plant, realized in collaboration with Brembo, it profits of constructive choices finalized to the maximum braking performance, in terms of effectiveness, immediateness of answer to the pedal and resistance to the fading also in the most sporting employment of the car: this results, particularly, from the adoption of disks of great dimensions (ant. 330 xes 32 mm, post. 310 xes 28 mm), with pliers to four pistoncinis and servofreno to elevated course, besides the electronic devices antibloccaggio ABS, of electronic division of the braked EBD and control of stability MSP.
The safety endowments are guaranteed both from the safety devices active in terms of dynamics of the vehicle (to the already quoted electronic controls of braked and traction you/they can be assistant other specific equipments, as for example the lighthouses to the xenon), both from the safety contents passive, among which strikes her/it first of all evolved to comply to the new normative of bump EEC / USA and the endowment of series of 4 air-bags (frontal and side).

Available also applications type comfortistico as the cruise controls and the electronic sensors of parking lot to the back one. But the insides of the Spyder don't only surprise for the quality just mentioned, but also for the ability to combine class and technology: they only miss the commands of the radio to the steering wheel, while for the rest, the generous color display of 5,8" it dominates the central zone of the bridge, visualizing the information that arrive from the hi-fi one of series with reader mono CD, from the computer of edge, from the automatic plant of climatization, from the system of navigation satellitare GPS and from the manifold information of the more and more complete and functional Maserati Info Centre.

The suond to the least, dark and extremely full-bodied one, of the V8 Maserati, the exceptionality of the insides and the series of buttons and pulsantini - among which the MSP and the functionalities Sport... - you/they had launched by now me in the world of the dreams but... the sgasates of a colleague bring me to the reality. And' now to depart, proclamation to the gossips. Laced belt, well connected brain, right foot on the brake and a light pressure on the bilancere of right, countersigned from it initials her/it "UP." On the display the writing 1 appear, you/he/she can be departed...
We abandon the Maserati and we direct there toward the agricultural firm Hombre, ownership of the Sig. Umberto Panini - the figurines of the soccer players tell you nothing? -, inside which, the same Sandwiches, maintain with the care and the love of a father one of the most exceptional museums of present historical auto in Italy. A visitina, is worth... I assure him to you.
The first destination - the museum is to Cittanova -, dista from Modena about twenty km and it is reached crossing a long line of bypass road: the planned speed "from the bulldozer" it fully respects the code of the road, but the Spyder doesn't seem to suffer of it. The suspensions respond with great sweetness to the asperities of the ground, while the change seems to pick her/it to him up rather comfortable between a passage of march and the other. A dry no, in short, to the sessions of massage post-trip and to the effect kangaroo typical of you change her to rhythm F1: the formality "standard", of fact, stings to the confort suiting himself/herself/itself for the demands of whom desires to use with frequency the 390 colts of the Spyder, that on their behalf not "they paw" also assuring great regularity to regimes of little superior to the 1.500 turns.

But the hills are near, and the formality sport asks for to be inserted with great urgency... The "Cambiocorsa" he transforms: the passages of march are now performed in a beating of eyelash and the scalings they are accompanied by an as aggressive as exciting shotgun. As if it was not enough, the setting of the active suspensions also passes from "confort" to "ready footstep" and the effects on the physicist feel him. The asperities of the asphalt, in fact, are copied for that that enough, with surgeon precision and few respects for pilot and passenger: now the Spyder is indeed another auto and allows to exploit, one to one, the 22 cms of footstep in less that differentiate her/it from the version GT Coupé.

Maserati Spyder Schumacher test drive

Motor, facility of guide and fun apart, it needs to admit that the electronics of which it is gifted the Spyder works indeed in dear way and allows a notable dose of fun before a "dry" cut. The romanticonis will surely twist the nose, but making the accounts with the reality, these super-sporting ones they would practically be ingestibili in the guide of every day without a generous quantity of chip.The limit, is very tall in short... but if percaso owed find you in the autodrome and you wanted to see what they mean really 390 CVs and 451 Nm... I suggest you to disarm the control of the stability and the traction cliccando for some according to the pulsating MSP.
Attention however: to find to look in the eyes who it follows you is matter of some degree of inclination in more than the pedal of the gas, for which light foot in gone out of the curves, ready controsterzo and well open eyes.
Defects: only one. Do you want to know him/it?...to owe to redeliver her/it... for then to climb on another car. A true trauma, also for the one who has gotten used to try and to change cars as her own suits! A suggestion to all the maniacs of the Made in Germany: make us a stroll of a hour and then some prejudice it will disappear and perhaps we will become some more nationalists.
The range it is very articulated, given by the possibility to freely combine the 16 shades of the external (some of which you on purpose develop for the new Spyder) varnishes with the 10 colors of the range skins for inside and the 5 tonalities of the color hood. To them it turns, every color of the skins is proposed with combinings (carpet and chromatic division of the show up inside car) developed for getting the maximum elegance and chromatic harmony in the inside environment of the car.

Maserati Granturismo : Luxurious and aggressive, sporting but comfortable

Maserati Granturismo

Luxurious and aggressive, she is built on the base of the flagship Maserati Quattroporte The Cabin is sporting but enough comfortable, also to whom occupies the sets behind.Design of Pininfarina:Drawn by Pininfarina, the new coupe modenese has a fluid and luxurious sculpture with sharp details with the classical lines of the Maserati. On the façade the GranTurismo introduces an ample concave grate that from origin to a giant mouth, that proudly introduces in sign of the trident.

The optic groups extend him up to the passaruotas, under which the are found you look for in league from the new design that recalls the sketch of the coat of arms of the trident. The back entire a spoiler on the superior edge of the chest, the four terminals of unloading chromed and the triangular lights with technical LED.Con 405 horses, 460 Nm to 4.750 turns succeeds in catapulting the GT in 5,2 seconds from 0 to 100 and a maximum speed of 285 schedules, nonostate the mass of 1.955 kg. With these performances the GT introduces him as sporting of all respect. Even if it is really this that doesn't want to be.

And and really this way, as the Maserati GT is introduced during the first test drive on a run that brought from Bolzano to the footstep of Costalunga and up to Moena in the Valley of Fassa. On the narrow and nervous roads of the footsteps the GT has made to feel the sporting geniuses. Fast passing without problems, perfect insertions in the narrow curves and direzionalita' almost perfect on the rectilinear ones. The brakes Brembo is shown to the height of every situation, also in you brake her of emergency, caused by bus of tourists in difficulty in the narrow curves of the footsteps.

For the safety the control of stability and the setting of the suspensions intervene to electronic control. The control stability, called MPS, if it notices the tendency to the disbandment, it reduces the couple, it activates the brakes and it stabilizes the car in few milliseconds, and naturally it avoids the block of the wheels in braked.On the ideal lines for the "cruising" calm the GT has also shown that the ingenieris modenesi has succeeded in finding the compromise among sporting and luxurious Gran Tourism. This also thanks to the adopted techniques: The propeller has been positioned behind the anterior axle.

L' effect: a perfect balancing among the weights on the aces and an agility worthy of a sporting true. But also the new automatic change to six marcies of the ZF has been developed for a sweet and comforting guide maintaining the characteristics of sportività of the propeller V8. The new transmission exalts the characteristics of the motor to the lower part and middle regimes. The change also allows changes of march from true sporting actually to 7.200 turns. The transmission is endowed with so-called control auto-adattivo that it adjusts the type of changed to the style of guide and the conditions of march. The driver can choose through keys on the dashboard among four different formalities of operation: Auto normal, auto sport, low adherence / auto ice and Manual.

All this ago of the new GT a coupe very beautiful, Italian and with performances of all respect. The least pleasant chapter is always that of prices and consumptions. According to the technical card the Maserati GranTurismo comes to consume 14.3 liters on 100 kilometers. Accomplices the weight (almost two tons) and the dimensions (few less than five meters than length). Under real conditions, above all with fast guide on roads of mountain he also reaches 20 liters gasoline for 100 km. This year the Maserati has reached for the first time after the I purchase from the group Fiat in the year 1993 the break even, the point of balance. In poor words: start to earn money!

Maserati Quattroporte:

On the wake of the great international success of the Maserati Quattroporte, the stand of Frankfurt of next September will show for the first time two new particular versions of this model: the Quattroporte Executive GT and the Quattroporte Sport GT.

Strongly attended as a model that relaunched in the future the great tradition of the Trident, the Quattroporte was introduced for the first time really on the occasion of the Saloon of Frankfurt 2003.
