When the Maserati GranTurismo S launched in 2008, it immediately became the version to have thanks to its 4. 7-litre V8 engine shared with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. ‘JXZ 8834’ is the vaunted S version from its first year of production. With a mere 42, 450 miles recorded to date and just four previous keepers, ‘JXZ 8834’ offers a very sound provenance. This GranTurismo has been very lightly used in recent years with only around 2, 000 miles being covered since 2018. Despite this light use, ‘JXZ 8834’ has been diligently maintained with a full service in 2018 together with the replacement of the engine variators, new front springs and other work. Additionally, ‘JXZ 8834’ had its gearbox oil replaced in 2023, together with wheel bearings and both rear springs. ‘JXZ 8834’ is offered with no reserve and complete with an extensive paperwork file and an advisory free MOT until September 2025.
The M145 Maserati GranTurismo was very well received at launch in 2007, despite holding the title for the fastest developed new car model in history. With a conception to production period of just nine months it was only a slight lack of power that detracted from the original models. This was rectified with the arrival of the GranTurismo S in 2008. With a larger and more impressive 4. 7-litre V8, the S offered 434 bhp at 7, 000 rpm and a 180mph plus top speed. 0-60 mph could be dispatched in less than five seconds. Power is delivered via a 6-speed automated manual made by Graziano Trasmissioni, a system shared with the Ferrari F430.
Being the optimal S version, ‘JXZ 8834’ is thus equipped. Presenting in gleaming Nero Carboni paintwork the GranTurismo features a sophisticated GT design by none other than Pininfarina. A staggered set of R20 20-inch alloy wheels are fitted and finished in a Grigio Mercury hue. This combination lends ‘JXZ 8834’ a stealthy appearance with just the right level of brooding menace exhibited. The beautifully appointed and fitted cabin presents in a combination of Rosso Corallo hued leather with grey, perforated Alcantara accents and black carpets. It’s a thrilling combination. ‘JXZ 8834’s’ cabin also benefits from a professionally fitted, state of the art Apple CarPlay head unit which cost over £2, 000 and is still under warranty. If complete originality is your thing, the original parts are also included. Two original keys and an unfitted carbon fibre rear spoiler are also included.
In summary:
· Fine provenance and a low mileage covered to date
· Complete with a recently fitted, state of the art head unit for Apple CarPlay
· Offered with an advisory free MOT and stacks of additional paperwork
