Design of the 2019 Maserati GranTurismo
The 2019 Maserati GranTurismo comes with a timeless progressive design that is complemented by bold proportions. The exterior of the coupe features sculpted edges and aggressive air intakes whereas the interior is all-luxury and has been fitted with latest convenience features and advanced technologies.
Exterior
The all-new Maserati GranTurismo comes with a powerful, completely restyled front fascia that is dominated by a new, deep-cut oval front grille featuring the Maserati Trident in chrome and with bold red detailing.
Above the grille is the optional lightweight carbon fibre bonnet with an aggressive central air intake and two large air vents. This is the most striking exterior feature of the 2019 Maserati GranTurismo as it has been modelled after the pure Maserati racer, MC Trofeo.
There is a Sport-specific front splitter located below the grille that helps in improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The 2019 Maserati GranTurismo comes with steeply raked Bi-Xenon headlights with Adaptive Light Control that are complemented by LED Daytime Running Lights, which have been perfectly integrated into the front bumpers.
The side profile of the all-new Maserati GranTurismo is inspired by the historic Tipo 60/62 Maserati ‘Birdcage’ and features triple air vent apertures in the front flanks and triangular C-pillars, which house the iconic Saetta logo. The powerful Brembo brake calipers are clearly visible from the 20-inch Astro Design alloy wheels, which adds to the sporty stance of the vehicle. The muscular fenders, on the other hand, make for an authoritative road presence of the vehicle and grab the attention of onlookers.
The rear of the vehicle features an updated bumper design that gives a contemporary feel about the vehicle yet preserves its distinctive Maserati appeal. There are wraparound taillights that are perfectly positioned below the rear spoiler to add to the vehicle’s aerodynamics. The all-new Maserati GranTurismo offers new paint choices to give buyers an option to personalize their GranTurismo according to their taste and preference.
There are two Solid colors (Bianco Eldorado and Nero), four metallic colors (Grigio Granitno, Nero Carbonio, Blu Sohpisticato and Rosso Trionfale) and nine special colors (Bianco Fuji, Giallo Granturismo, Bianco Birdcage, Grigio Lava, Rosso Italiano, Blu Inchiostro, Blu Assoluto, Grigio Pietra and Rosso Magma) offered with the 2019 Maserati GranTurismo.
