GranTurismo model iteration....is it just noise?

[bigbob]

So Maserati have found another 10PS from the 4.7 lump for the Cabrio. Question is what is coming next:

-I presume all 4.7 Coupes' will get this?
-Will the 4.2 be dropped?
-What about gearboxes. Other manufacturers who use the ZF auto box have gone up to eight ratios. What will Maserati do on the model year change? When will the dual clutch box from Ferrari make it to Maserati? They cannot hide it forever as BMW, Audi and Porsche are putting it in performance models?
-What the **** does giving the ZF box MC Shift sport really mean for the Cabrio Sport?

Also the Cabrio Sport has a new 'front flick up' according to this (mis read it at first!):

I would think there is a real possibility that the 4200 will be dropped. Think about it the 4.7 becomes the new 4200 and the Granturismo S perhaps with extra 10 bhp and sports suspension and noisy exhaust becomes the new Gransport ..........SIMPLES

Two clutches to stress about

Sounds like a plan.

Get a DMS upgrade on the 450 and you could have a GT car and a half. 500+ bhp in a svelte body has got to be a winner. Makes you wonder why they don't do it at the factory rather than p**s about with the odd 10bhp.
