Maserati GranTurismo S

By Barry Ritholtz - June 6th, 2009, 9:00AM

Nice review of the GT S on classic driver:

The standard Maserati GranTurismo is an impressive car. Most testers, however, commented that with a little more power and even better brakes it would – for the money – take all before it. Having spent a long weekend away in the GranTurismo S, I would wholeheartedly agree.

The Modenese company has just launched a fully automatic version of the ‘S’, but the black car you see here is equipped with the ‘paddle’, electro-hydraulically actuated, six-speed gearbox that will be familiar to anyone with recent Ferrari/Maserati/Alfa Romeo 8C experience.

There’s a 2009, 2 door, manual 6SPD Maserati GranTurismo S (4.7L V8) available in Charlotte, NC for a mere $146K. Such a deal!

I am no fan of the tiptronic paddle shifters

Give me 3 pedals and a stick and a tank of premium gas, and I am one happy boy!
