vehicle description:
Its with massive regret I am selling this rare and loved Gransport which was originally owned by Maserati (UK) and given to a famous car enthusiast and supermodel for the first three years. I"ve been a Maserati forum and club member since ownership.
The Gransport then sat around for a while before I took ownership in 2011. I"ve done a lot of work to bring her back to showroom standard over the years and only used main dealers or well known approved independents for maintenance. The Gransport has been a garage queen but she has been used, as you can tell from the mileage, but only driven in dry weather. She is in top condition and ready for a new enthusiast.
She has been in Auto Italia magazine and I have a copy for the new owner. I also have signed photos from the famous car enthusiast and supermodel owner.
Her original PRIVATE PLATE will also be included but is not shown in the pictures (ENZOGTO288 is not the plate)
Maserati Gransport *
The Maserati Gransport is a modified version of the Coupé that was first unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. It is equipped with aerodynamic body cladding, a chrome mesh grille, carbon fiber interior trim, and special 19-inch wheels. It uses the Skyhook active suspension, with a 0.4 inch (10 mm) lower ride height, and the Cambiocorsa transmission is recalibrated for quicker shifts. The exhaust is also specially tuned to growl on start-up and full throttle.
It is powered by the same 4244 cc, 90° V8 petrol engine used on the Coupé. However, the engine develops 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp) at 7000 rpm and around 450nm torque due primarily to a different exhaust system and improvements on the intake manifolds and valve seats. The Gransport has Max Speed of 180mph and 0 to 60mph in 4.9sec (claimed). The engine was that good it was used by Ferrari in the F430. A six-speed paddle shift F1 transmission comes as standard. The car is 178.1 inches (4,520 mm) long, 71.7 inches (1,820 mm) wide, 51.0 inches (1,300 mm) high and weighs 3,704 pounds (1,680.1 kg).
