The most noteworthy difference between standard and S GranTurismos is found in the engine bay. The 4.7-liter V-8 is now up to the same specification found in the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, which means a full 440 horsepower is on tap, compared with the standard GranTurismo's 405 horses. An electro-actuated gearbox with Maserati's MC-Shift technology sends the power to the GranTurismo's rear wheels and is fitted to the rear transaxle, for optimal weight distribution. To cope with the added power, the same Brembo six-piston monoblock brakes found in the Quattroporte Sport GT S are found in Maserati's super coupe as well.
