[sillalailla]

If I had money... 

[KuchikiByakuya90]

Does the Automatic have Paddle shifters too?

[maseratiofmpls]

@KuchikiByakuya90 The paddles are standard on the GranTurismo; slightly larger on the S, and even longer race-style paddles are optionally available

[rapandrnb]

@maseratiofmpls

its a double clutch on the S....... its a stadard Automatic on the normal one, for a Maserati dealer i would presume you would know more about your car !

[maseratiofmpls]

@rapandrnb The S was only available with the paddle-shifted manual for the 2009 model year in the US. After that only the ZF Automatic is available for both the 4.7L S and 4.2L standard trim cars. The paddle-shifted manual is still available internationally, just not in the US.

And you're right it is technically a double-clutch, but it's not a double like the DSG Ferrari is putting in the 458 - it's multiple plates stacked like a motorcycle clutch, vs dual-clutch \ dual-gearsets in the DSGs.

[Jardisk8r]

@rapandrnb wait wait, whats the difference between the automatic granturismo S and the normal granturismo ?

[hotKnife612]

breathtaking.

[maf313]

Most beautiful car in the world and the best exaust note

[andylawhk]

Nice looking! nice sound! Love it!

[The70srockfan]

I WANT THAT IN MY LIFE !

[MattMaser]

Definitely one of my fav cars. But I think the standard gt and gt s auto look a bit nicer - cleaner. I'm not a fan of the sideskirts or black headlamps on the s. But hey if I paid as much money as this costs i'm sure the dealer wouldn't mind swapping the headlamps and skirts from a standard gt ;)

[schwagier]

is the flappy paddle gearbox response immediate? i mean - do you feel it actually changes gears when you touch the paddles?

[maseratiofmpls]

@schwagier It's not instantaneous like the dual-clutch systems can be, but shift time under hard acceleration in MC-Shift mode is around 100ms - similar to the 599. It depends a lot on what setting the car is in, and how hard you are driving it. If you are under light throttle, and shifting at low RPM's, the shift speeds are much slower - up to 1+ seconds. If you are at high to full throttle and shifting near redline, they snap off far far faster.

[schwagier]

@maseratiofmpls thanks for the answer :)

i meant of course full throttle, sporty kind of driving ;)

could you please tell me what is the difference between gearboxes in GranTurismo S 2009 and GranTurismo S Automatic 2010?

[maseratiofmpls]

@schwagier The MC Shift gearbox in the video was only available in the US in 2009, but continues to be available internationally. In the Automatic it's a ZF 6-speed mounted to the engine, vs the rear-mounted transaxle. This shifts weight balance to 51% rear from 53% rear.

The 4.7 S GT's gearbox has slightly more aggressive software from the 4.2 cars, and if you opt for the MC Sportline add-ons, there is an additional more aggressive program in that as well.

[Mr123camaroz28]

@schwagier the shift is instant. u get jerked forward slightly when you shift. well.... at least that was my experience on a 360 modena. if u think about it, it is safer because u arent taking your hand of the well at 300kph or about 190kph.

[maseratiofmpls]

@Mr123camaroz28 The shifts are actually faster than the Ferrari 360 which clocks around 200-250ms (dependent on year \ software); the 360cs was like 150-180ms, whereas the Maserati with MC-Shift, f430, and 599 GTB are around 60ms.

The Maserati's computer is actually overlapping the engagement of the next gear with the disengagement of the current gear to speed up shifts. The move to dual-clutch gearboxes has eliminated this need for overlap by separating the even and odd gearsets.

[keltecdan]

poor mans ferrari

[HooAnt]

What a car! I presently have a CL55 AMG.

thats what a V8 should sound like!!

this is the next thing for me, as I can justify it because it has rear seats

for guess what....! :-)

[al3id]

is there granturismo manual transmssion?? i mean (clutch press)

[oneted100]

listen 2 the blowing sound... man!!

[zeno144]

my nips got HARD! LOL

[Biggieman2k6]

I must say i'm disappointed by the sound. I was expecting to hear armageddon under the hood but was surprised to hear a Ford Mustang GT in a designer suit~!!!

[Alex3349]

WIll they do a GranCabrio S (with MC-shift and exhaust etc.)

??

[yynnoopp]

most perfect car ever :X

[Corveette]

Sex on wheels

[pedalbin]

cool as sh*t. reat skills

[caughtupinthematrix]

i could listen to this car all day!

[powerpoint1357924680]

dammn, the sound of the car myke me crazy...

must be awnsome to drive this thing on the highway

[ibedamned]

Sex on wheels!!! AMAZING sound!!!

[FingerstyleTV]

how i wish someone could use an omnidirectional condenser microphone to record the sound..

[insanitystudio]

Gives me chills.

[Soetman]

very very cool sound, but IMO this car is one of very few that doesn't sound better when it gets to high rpm

[maseratiofmpls]

@Soetman It's a different story when you're behind the wheel... ;)

[caughtupinthematrix]

@Soetman

you know i agree with you on that. if you are tooling around town under probably 50...you will be the envy of all.

[killerkowalczyk]

I was behind one of these for about 1 hr lastnight on the 401/Toronto. Sickest sounding car hands down Ive ever heard.

[alphie10]

Sounds like a Ferrari looks gorgeous I know the 4.2L had 405 hp how bout the 4.7 how much bhp does it has

[maseratiofmpls]

The US market version is rated at 434 bhp @ 7000 rpm.

[lenders88]

brilliant car, can't wait to drive mine

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

whats the 47 standing for??^^

[maseratiofmpls]

All of the S model Maserati's have a 4.7L V8 as opposed to the stock 4.2L.

The 4.2 was originally designed in cooperation with Ferrari, and is the basis for the engine in the F430, and the upcoming 458 Italia and to this day is hand-built in Ferrari's factory.

This engine was also used in the Alfa 8C Competizione.

Differences in bore, compression, flat-plane vs offset crank, pistons, and bolt-on materials makeup the bulk of the variations between engine lines for each manufacturer.

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

ah ok

does every gt or gts have something like that on the back?

I spend a lot of time with the maserati gt model but i never saw something like hat on one of them.

Maybe its because its just on the s model?^^

[maseratiofmpls]

The base 4.2L cars don't have a badge - only the models with the 4.7L have them - so every GT-S, and every Quattroporte S will have the badge by default.

The car in this video is a GT-S with the paddle-shifted manual, and was only built for one year - our dealership only got this particular car so it's pretty rare.

You can now order the GranTurismo in either a 4.2 or the 4.7 S trim, but only with the ZF automatic transmission.

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

Ok so u r pretty lucky to have one of those 47 versions.^^

Btw thanks for the information :-)

[bcarby]

@IcEcReAmSaLe

47 times better than any other car ;)

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

oh yes^^

the only thing i dont like is that it hasnt got a system to lift it up when u drive into a street where the ground is shitty

u know its very long and very low also^^

but all in all i love it

[maseratiofmpls]

It has more front-curb clearance than something like the Gallardo with the front-end lifted. Plus if you have skyhook (adaptive suspension), you can just take it out of sport mode - and it will soften the ride up quite a bit. A valuable feature for our Minnesota roads in the Spring.

[caughtupinthematrix]

@bcarby only 47?

[omfggoogle]

Sooo pretty!!!

[blackhole522]

You should do more videos like that!!!

[Tulpenijntje]

love the ass !!!!

[LonerSkateCrew]

i wish i had money for this car ='{

[lazios]

vm 18...PORN.

[rarah9999]

[dimartino1993]

super maserati la macchina piu bella del mondo UNICA

[ducatiracing]

it reminds me of the alfa 8c exhaust

[maseratiofmpls]

Very close - the Alfa is about 10-20% louder..

[Animalo90]

ho visto questo video 100 volte...ma mi piace sempre +.

[ssj3sedat]

In love,Maserati <3

[psionex2320]

[electricavenue5]

[usernamesbeenused]

[classickiss]

[ry855]

[gog1989]

der schönste unter der sonne

[Aukfrauk]

yeah!

[denizey]

yeahhh!!

[eisenherz188]

Is there any modification to the 2008 model?

[maseratiofmpls]

The GT-S version with the paddle-shifted gearbox was a limited production model run for early 2009. This was followed by a limited production run of GT-S Automatics, which are nearly sold out nationwide.

The GT-S has a 4.7 L V8 with nearly straight-through exhaust in Sport mode, and with the manual transmission revs to over 7000 rpm.

The standard Gran Turismo has a 4.2L, and significantly quieter exhaust, paired with a ZF automatic transmission. Even with Tubi exhaust the 4.2L is quieter.

[Do7a1337]

i thought all GT-S were with paddle-shifted gearbox.... so if i wanna buy one now its gonna be automatic?!?

[RyanStellato]

the GT-S comes in manual(paddle shift) or you can get the automatic version.

2 different models.

[usernamesbeenused]

is any gts going to come with MC paddle shift 2010? and ?L/100 KM? service charge? I really want to get one. actually i can afford a gts. i just wanted to know if i can use it as a everyday driving car.

[ROORabuser]

This is italian stuff

fucking great car

[mangray49]

That's a really good quality video you have there... what kind of camera were you using?

[zippiri]

E tu pensa che un mio compaesano ce l'ha! L'ho sentito passare proprio adesso e così ho trovato questo video! Dal vivo è semplicemente meravigliosa e poi si il rombo è una vera goduria per l'udito!

[MRJOYFUL80]

è una roba questa macchina...mi fa impazzire...rumorosa ed elegante...da brivido..eppoi i cerchi la fiancata...spettacolari...è un misto tra ferrari aston e viper...con un rumore assordante ;)))

[Overload988]

Amo questo video! E' fantastico...la Maserati...bè non ci sono aggettivi che la rappresentano in maniera corretta!

[lazios]

lucky man.

[venom5809]

That sounds incredible.

[Drumming2thelord]

OH....MY.......GOD!

[BeeEffe]

Fantastic sound, great car!

[TeamF1Jr]

5 star, no production car made today sounds as good as this.

[JackNapier19]

The Aston Martin Vanquish S also sounds incredible.

[mattdesmond]

Definitely the best sounding V8 I have filmed. Rawr!
