According to khabarkhodro,It shows off many of the
changes Maserati can’t hide on its test vehicles.
A new Maserati GranTurismo is in development, but it
looks quite similar to the previous-generation model. However, the test
vehicles our spy photographers have captured have featured a full-body
camouflage wrap and foam cladding underneath it to distort its design. Our
friends at Kolesa.ru decided to do away with the coverings to imagine what the
next-gen GranTurismo could look like when it debuts later this year.
The spy shots indicate the next-gen car will retain the
previous generation’s overall shape, though the renderings flatten the car’s
curvier bodywork. The fenders don’t look as bulbous as before, and the
headlights are more vertical, too. The brand’s trident badge sits in front of
the slotted grille that’s flanked by a pair of triangular intakes. The
rendering tweaks the side profile with a new fender vent behind the front
wheels. The rear has taillights that have a thinner, sleeker shape, which sits
above a sporty-looking bumper and diffuser.
One thing the renderings can’t show us is its potential
powertrains. Maserati hasn’t indicated what will power the GT, though the
company has no shortage of choices. The brand’s new Nettuno V6 – the
twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter that powers the MC20 supercar – could find its way
in the coupe. It produces 621 horsepower (621 kilowatts) and 538 pound-feet
(729 Newton-meters) of torque in the MC20, though the company could pick
another powertrain.
One thing we do know about the new GranTurismo is that
there will be a fully electric variant down the road. It will actually be the
brand’s first EV, and it could get the coveted MC Stradale moniker. It’s
supposed to break cover in 2022 and become one of the few all-electric coupes
available. Maserati is expected to reveal the new 2022 GranTurismo before the
end of the year, but the company hasn’t announced an official debut date.
