Novitec Supercharges the Maserati GranTurismo to 600HP

If you bought a machine as close to perfection as a Maserati, would you try to improve upon it? We're not sure we would, but if we did, we'd be turning to Novitec. The German tuning house has a long history in modifying Ferraris, and since Maserati is Ferrari's sister company and borrows its engines from them, the Novitec's know-how is a natural fit. In this case, they've taken the GranTurismo S, in all its 435-horsepower glory, and given it even more power and exclusivity thanks to a supercharger and other modifications that bring the total power output up to an even more outstanding 600. Novitec Tridente, as their new Maserati division is called, also fitted 20-inch modular wheels up front and 21-inch rims in the back, which together with the carbon fiber aerodynamics kit gives the GranTurismo an even more menacing look.

No thanks......generally non-authorised after-market tuning companies ruin good cars, destroy their engineering integrity and lose heaps of resale value.

..... lose heaps of resale value.

And Maseratis don't normally need further assistance with that :D

True, but paying a premium to loose even more is not good sense really..

Previously, yes.

But, thankfully, the GranTurismo is enjoying one of the highest retained-values (in its class) on the market. They seemed to have finally learned the golden-rule of 'supply and demand'......
