GranTurismo Sport Launched

Here's another one for sports car fans - Naza Italia have just launched the Maserati GranTurismo Sport recently with a price that starts from RM1,180,000.While it is known as being the more 'subdued' ltalian car band , the 4.7 litre V8 engine that produces 453bhp and 520Nm is also probably the most inspiring sounding one. Top speed is 298kmh and 0-100kmh is achieved in just 4.8 seconds.
Datuk Wira SM Faisal Tan Sri Nasimuddin, Joint Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Naza Group of Companies, played host to distinguished guests, including Mr.Gaetano Marino, Regional Director Maserati Asia Pasific,Ms.Carey Ng,newly crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2013,Ms Natalie Ng,1st runner up,Ms Symren Kaur,3rd runner up,among others during the launch.
"Naza Italia is very excited to introduce the Maserati GranTurismo Sport into Malaysian shores." said Datuk Maruan, the Senior Vice President 4 wheels of Naza Motor Group, adding that the Maserati is a very distinctive brand, catered to the niche clientele.
The car comes with two gearbox options: a normal automatic and an automated manual system they call electroactuated, both with six forward rations. The figure quoted earlier on is based on the auto while the other goes a tad faster at 300kmh after taking 4.7seconds too record the century sprint.The GranTurismo Sport comes equipped with a newer version of the Sport Skyhook active damping system.
This which will bring the car to a complete stop from 100kmh in just 35metres.Bear in mind, the Maserati is at least 1780kg in weight so that's not bad.
