I’ve never been a huge fan of the looks of a Maserati. I can live with the GranSport, and the MC12 is awesome…but will set you back around $1 million. Especially in the US, a Maserati is a rare car, and it’s time that it really turns heads when you do see one. Welcome the upcoming GranTurismo model. This new 405hp machine actually looks amazing, and will I’m sure follow Maserati’s luxury levels they’ve been known to have.

Here is the old Maserati Coupe that the GranTurismo is pretty much replacing:

The styling is ok, but it’s nothing special, and is really starting to look outdated. I personally wouldn’t want to spend over $100,000 on a sportier car and have it look like that. Check out the new GranTurismo:

I never liked the fish gills on the side like the Quattraporte has, but I think they look nice here. The headlights also really make the front end of the car work.

The rear has to be my favorite part. The way the bumper surrounds the quad-exhaust tips looks amazing.

The interior looks very modernized, and the red with silver accents really sets it off.

These are all press photographs, but surprisingly enough, the in-person pictures of the car make it look even better.

Surprisingly, Maserati’s don’t carry the price tag that you may expect. There were rumors of a $95,000 starting price, but they have since been revoked. With a car that may compete with the Jaguar XKR, I would choose the Maserati GranTurismo hands down. What do you think?
