INTERIOR: SPORTY ELEGANCE AND FUNCTION
The GranSport’s
interior reflects its brilliant personality both in terms of aesthetics and
functionality, yet also exudes the elegant good taste and luxurious comfort of a
Trident Grand Tourer. The dashboard, body-hugging seats, tunnel, thick rimmed
steering wheel, impressive materials (leather, carbon fibre, alloy, high tech
fabric) all combine to create an attractively sporty ambience too.
The Maserati GranSport’s dashboard boasts excellent specialist trim and
central console options. The upper part of the dash is trimmed in leather, while
the central area, framed by the car-coloured piping strip, is trimmed in a
special high tech fabric originally developed for nautical use and available in
Nero (Black), Grigio Nickel (Nickel Grey) or Blu Metal (Metal Blue). This is a
double layered material which is not only very attractive but also non-slip and
extremely hard-wearing, making it ideal for trimming the central area of sports
seats and the lower rim of the steering wheel.
The front seats are designed for high lateral containment, and guarantee
maximum driver contact with the car for perfect control. They were developed
with the help of the Maserati test drivers in line with the strictest ergonomic
principles with the aim of combining sporty characteristics and excellent seat
comfort for perfect, long distance driving. This is why the seats are also fully
power adjustable and can, on request, be supplied with a heating option and
memorised settings on the driver’s side.
The carbon, leather-trimmed tunnel separates the two front seats. It contains
the Cambiocorsa control selector and the secondary commands, each one of which
is set into an elegant chrome surround.
The main control buttons, including the blue Start button, on the other hand,
are grouped together on the central console near the driver. The climate control
and CD player buttons are also set in a carbon feature on the central console.
Any driver lucky enough to get his hands on the three-spoke steering wheel of
the Maserati GranSport will appreciate the work that has been done to mould the
rim (trimmed in perforated leather, carbon and technical fabric) to offer
improved ergonomic grip. All of the car’s functions are arranged on the
instrument binnacle that boasts sporty white graphics on a Maserati navy blue
background.
PERSONALISATION PROGRAMME
The Maserati GranSport is available in
the six sportiest colours in the Maserati range, each one of which can be
combined with various interior options. Owners can choose from the classic
Giallo Granturismo (Grand Tourer Yellow) and Rosso Mondiale (World Championship
Red) or, alternatively between the metallic Nero Carbonio (Carbon Black), Blu
Mediterraneo (Mediterranean Blue) and Grigio Touring (Touring Grey). The sixth
colour choice recently added to the range is Bianco Fuji (Fuji White), an
original pearl white with the unusual depth typical of three-coat pearlescent
paints. This is the starting point from which the Officine Alfieri Maserati
programme can be used to include a vast array of other personalisation options
regarding the colours of the interior trim leather, fabric as well as technical
or comfort-oriented features, such as: Xenon headlights, Skyhook suspension,
Mercury Grey and Ball-Polished options for the wheels, carbon interior and
exterior components, GPS and GSM telephone module controlled from the radio
unit, and a six-disc CD Changer, to mention but a few.
