The Maserati GranSport (2004–2007) is widely regarded as the "sweet spot" of the M138 generation. While it shares its silhouette with the standard Maserati Coupé, it was comprehensively overhauled to transform it from a soft grand tourer into a sharp, driver-focused machine.

The following improvements made it a serious competitor of the Porsche 911 (997 series)

• A power increase of 10 BHP – 405 BHP from the 4.2l Ferrari built V8
• Updated software resulting in gearchanges 35% faster than the 4200 Coupe
• Retuned suspension plus a 10mm lower ride height
• Improved aerodynamics & styling changes overseen by Frank Stephenson
• Improved interior with high-quality finishes:
  • Poltrona Frau leather
  • Extended centre console in carbon fibre – similar to the Ferrari Challenge Stradale
  • Aluminium racing pedals

This Maserati GranSport was delivered in 2005 in Johannesburg by Rosso Sport Auto and is one of only 29 examples imported to South Africa. This example is in excellent condition and has only covered 41 500 km. It has its original service books and an extensive maintenance history with Maserati and went through a health check prior to arriving at Crossley & Webb for sale

This is an opportunity to secure a rare Italian thoroughbred from a brand with Grand Prix heritage that delivers a rewarding and visceral driving experience.
