Maserati GranTurismo

History

History of the Maserati GranTurismo

The GranTurismo is Maserati's emblematic grand-touring coupe. The first generation, produced over about a dozen years, won over enthusiasts with its Ferrari-derived engine and its sound. After a production pause around 2020 to 2023, a new generation was launched, including for the first time a fully electric version, the GranTurismo Folgore. It is aimed at buyers seeking a fast, elegant grand-touring car usable over long distances, with two doors and a strong character. It is one of the brand's technological and stylistic showcases. In terms of tires and wheels, the GranTurismo uses large wheels and low-profile performance tires, often in staggered front/rear fitments. In Quebec, winter use of such a coupe demands suitable winter tires and careful driving on snow-covered roads.

Tires and wheels

Tire and wheel compatibility

Les Maserati modernes chaussent généralement de grandes jantes : on retrouve couramment du 18 à 21 pouces sur les berlines (Ghibli, Quattroporte) et les VUS (Levante), certaines éditions spéciales atteignant 21 ou 22 pouces. Ces véhicules utilisent souvent des pneus de performance à profil bas, fréquemment montés en dimensions différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montes asymétriques). Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont indispensables et obligatoires; il est souvent judicieux de prévoir un second jeu de jantes d'hiver d'un diamètre plus modeste pour réduire les coûts et améliorer la traction. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse et entraxe propres au modèle.
