玛莎拉蒂老板Harald Wester近日透露了下一代GranTurismo更多细节。该车将作为2018款车型于2017年底发布，由于它的市场容量很小，因此将只有轿跑车一种车型，而不会推出GranCabrio敞篷版。新车将是一款完全以驾驶员为核心的车型，将搭载一系列V8引擎。同时该车只有后轮驱动一种布局，车辆操控将更灵活，反应更快。为了降低门槛，提升销量，车厂还将为其提供V6引擎。根据先前的报道，V8引擎排量为3.8升，将采用双涡轮增压器，功率将超过410千瓦/550马力。

新一代玛莎拉蒂将更注重驾驶感受和操控乐趣，同时为了迎合低端客户也将增加V6版本。

 

2018 Maserati GranTurismo will be a RWD coupe with "serious V8 power"

Maserati boss Harald Wester has shed some light about the next generation GranTurismo.

 

Scheduled to come out towards the end of 2017, the overhauled GranTurismo will be sold exclusively as a coupe because there isn't a market large enough to justify the GranCabrio's existence, even though the model is very popular in United States according to Wester. The new GT is being characterized as a "fully focused driver's car" which will offer "serious V8 power, not to mention a cascade of low-end torque."

 

It will be sold only with a rear-wheel drive layout and promises to be "nimble, agile, responsive" while a V6 engine could be added to lower the GranTurismo's starting price which will boost sales. Based on a report which emerged back in December, the V8 engine will adopt a twin-turbo layout and will have a 3.8-liter displacement, enough to develop more than 550 bhp (410 kW).
