- German tuner Mansory works over the Maserati GranTurismo and GranTurismo S.
- GranTurismo is bumped to 429 horsepower, S up to 464 hp.
- Additional modifications include an adjustable sport suspension that lowers ride height by 1.2 inches.
BRAND, Germany — Mansory, the German tuning house known as much for its pizzazz as its punch, has tackled the Maserati GranTurismo and GranTurismo S, boosting performance and dressing up the exteriors in the bargain.
The 4.7-liter V8 has been reworked, nudging output to 429 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque on the GranTurismo and to 464 hp and 391 lb-ft on the GranTurismo S, thanks to a reprogrammed ECU, a high-flow air filter and a sport exhaust system with quad tailpipes.
Additional hardware modifications include an adjustable sport suspension that lowers ride height by 1.2 inches and more aggressive rubber — 255/30R20 front and 305/30R21 rear — mounted on forged alloy wheels that can be ordered in body-color finish.
Aero add-ons — all rendered in carbon fiber — include a new front spoiler, grille, air intakes in the hood, extended sills, rear diffuser and rear lip spoiler.
Custom leather in a checkered stitch pattern, a sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals are among the highlights in the cabin.
Inside Line says: For all those who think the factory GranTurismo is just a bit too subtle. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

Who is the target customer for this "Tuner"? The Situation and Pauly D?

Even Mansory cant increase the horsepower up enough to compete with the Jaguar XFR. All those carbon fiber parts should hopefully decrease the weight a little as the GranTurismo is one heavy car to begin with.
