Granturismo / Grancabrio 2018 restyle?

[BLUMASER]

Hi,

Take a look at this seen in Italy - fitted with what looks like Ghibli/Levante Info/Sat Nav. Rumours from the factory suggest it won't be too long before it surfaces.

Still life in a great design.

I wonder if it'll be at Geneva this week?

I'd expect the new V8tt from the QP GTS as well.

Not much of a change visually, however, the interior needed an update years ago.
Will be interesting to see if there is any change in the engine.

Granturismo is late 2017 and Alfieri is 2018. Those are pretty much certs now.

Looks more to me like playing about with infotainment and it's coincidental that it's in a GranTurismo ?

It's a mule that's for sure. Why else cover the front end? (that's clearly all that has changed). It's a sad state when all they can do is facelift a GTS really.

That infotainment system looks out of place in that size centre console, way too bulky and cumbersome.

its just been stuck on for testing probably

Definitely looks aftermarket. They'd have drawn less attention by not disguising the front end lol

I'm just glad spring is nearly upon us so I can awake the beast for the summer !

Hoping to collect mine today! Then tyres and spacers on this week and then Larini sports cats!!!! Woohooooo

That looks like somebody taped the front end of their car then bought one of those Chinese ebay satnav kits and some velcro

Is that genuine or someone after youtube hits

As long as they don't stick that ugly grill from the face lift QP on it. Do you think the front grill badge is hidden because it's tut plastic looking camera one that's on the Levante. Let's face it they probably wouldn't need to change much of the design outside as it still looks great.

Good find, it's spot on with what some in the trade have been saying since production stopped - new nose and infomatics. Shame the audio is not presented so no idea if it's the n/a V8 or whether the turbo V6 or V8 engines have been slotted in. Wonder why it's not at Geneva other than tardiness?

When it volume starts at the factory they can then stop all those cheap 4C lease deals which must annoy those who have already bought that car but I guess the Modena workfoce needs to do something.

It's definitely an upgrade to the infotainment, similar to the MY17 Ghibli. You can see the little silver and black dial that navigates the menus.

About time too !!

I hope one of you clever bods can work out how I could retro fit this to my car....

Dont, you've made me go weak at the knees and made all Stradale owners start crying.

I smell a rat here, that NAV looks stuck on and the front bumper is the same as the SPORT. You can see in the video that its actually blue underneath so not even painted for the car its on.

Why would you stick disguise wrap on the grill fins that are the same as the old one and can already be had in matt black, grey and chrome???

I would cry if the thing sounded as good as the actual n/a engine, AND went well too! I very much doubt the former!

 

[conaero]

I take it the V8 TT thats in the QP is the F Cali engine yes?

MAF drove it in the QP and was astonished by it. Nice bit of Turbo tuning on top too.

Funnily enough this popped up on my FB feed just now

Translation:

On the way to the Geneva Motor Show 2017, we encountered a prototype of the future Maserati GranTurismo (2018 redesign).
Change the interior, with the arrival of a new infotainment system and Apple CarPlay, and the front that gains a new design.

It maybe the mule for the completely new car next year and not a facelift of the current one.

Is a total 400 unit total coupe/convertible run with same 4.7 engine and gearbox choice as before.
