AUTOS: Maserati?s New GranTurismo Sport
Coupe version of the updated performance GT car is revealed before its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show.
Maserati is replacing its aging GranTurismo S with a new GranTurismo Sport, which will debut next month at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.The GranTurismo coupe gets some updated styling details from the outgoing S model.

Visually setting the car apart from the current GranTurismo lineup are new, aerodynamically enhanced bumpers, revised headlights with LED detailing and darkened tail-lamp elements. The cabin also receives new seats and a sports steering wheel.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a ZF six-speed automatic transmission or an optional sequential manual unit with the same number of gears. Both units also come with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, though they are an option on the automatic.
In the lighter coupe body of the GranTurismo Sport, either drivetrain promises 0-60 mph acceleration in less than 5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 177 mph. Final numbers will be confirmed closer to the car?s Geneva debut.
