| Tweet | ||
The 'Contemporary Classic' version takes on the avant-garde style of a vehicle that has become an icon, an instant classic. It was developed to combine dynamic performance wîth the highest levels of comfort.
Purity and elegance are Maserati traits. These are brought out by the all-leather interior. This is bordered by the contrasting piping - the same colour as the exterior - that profiles the seats and cabin. A further touch of class is provided by the Vintage blue instrumentation and leather §teering wheel.
Completing the look are the 19 inch ball-polished wheel rims.
As Giorgetto Giugiaro, responsible for the sweeping design, states: 'the 'Contemporary Classic' design for the Maserati GranSport further enriches this coupé. The GranSport reconnects wîth the sporting pedigree of the past.
This is an age that we appreciate but which has been largely lost in the evolution of technology and design'. Changes in the automobile sector regard performance, the mechanics, and handling dynamics. This new interior finish falls into this category and has been developed to fit smoothly into the mould of what is a classic marque.
'Contemporary Classic' is the result of what technology can deliver to the client. There are some details that improve the quality of a product and make it distinct. In this case the vehicle's interior harmonises effortlessly wîth the exterior, enhancing it without any excess.Source - Maserati
