The seller offers for sale this 2005 Maserati GranSport, powered by a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, paired with a six-speed Cambiocorsa electro-actuated transmission. Presented in black over a blue and black leather interior, it carries the GranSport’s own visual signature: deeper front and rear bumpers, side skirts, the mesh grille and 19-inch alloy wheels behind which sit red-painted brake calipers. Inside, the carbon-fibre trim, drilled aluminium pedals and Maserati-embroidered sports seats separate the GranSport from the standard Coupé on which it is based. This example has covered 67,500 km and comes with a full service history, all of its documentation, two keys and an indoor car cover.
The GranSport arrived in 2004 as the sharpest expression of Maserati’s 4200 series, launched while the marque was making its return to competition with the Trofeo one-make series and the MC12. Under the bonnet sits the 4,244 cc V8 developed with Ferrari, an engine that produces 400 hp at 7,000 rpm and remains one of the great naturally aspirated sounds of its era, particularly through a valved exhaust. The Cambiocorsa transaxle was reprogrammed for markedly quicker shifts than the Coupé’s, the ride height was lowered, the Skyhook adaptive damping was recalibrated and the brakes were uprated, turning a capable grand tourer into something considerably more focused. Around three thousand GranSport coupés were built between 2004 and 2007, and the model has become the version of the 4200 that enthusiasts single out.
According to the seller the exhaust system has been fitted with a valved setup running an X-pipe and sports catalytic converters, a specification that suits the character of the V8 without altering the car’s grand touring manners. The service history is complete and accompanies the car, along with the full documentation file. For a buyer looking for a modern Italian coupé with a Ferrari-derived engine, a manual-based gearbox and a shape that has aged particularly well, this is a car worth close inspection.
