玛莎拉蒂官员近日宣布,将于2017年底发布下一代GranTurismo(简称GT)。创立于一个世纪前的玛莎拉蒂未来前景光明，不仅是因为车厂已经证实将投产Alfieri（2016年投产轿跑车，2017年投产敞篷车），而且现在又决定将于2017年底投产新一代GT。该车将只有轿跑车一种车型，这意味着现行版GranCabrio敞篷车将不会有新一代车型，替代它的是Alfieri敞篷版。玛莎拉蒂北欧公司总经理Peter Denton表示，新一代GT将“更紧凑而非更大”。这款车将只提供后轮驱动，搭载一台3.8升V   8双涡轮增压引擎，功率超过410千瓦/550马力。而Alfieri轿跑车和敞篷车将提供后驱和全驱，动力系统包括一台3.0升V6涡轮增压引擎，功率有301千瓦/404马力，331千瓦/444马力和383千瓦/513马力三种。玛莎拉蒂还将推出Levante跨界车，该车将于2016年上市。

 

Next generation Maserati GranTurismo confirmed for late 2017 launch, will be coupe only

A Maserati representative has announced the next-gen GranTurismo will be introduced towards the end of 2017.

 

Founded exactly a century ago, Maserati has a bright future ahead as not only have they confirmed the Alfieri for production (2016 coupe & 2017 convertible), now we found out there's going to be a new GranTurismo set to go on sale late 2017. It will be offered exclusively as a coupe which means the current GranCabrio isn't going to get a new generation but the void will be filled by the open-top Alfieri.

In an interview with Auto Express, Maserati North Europe manager Peter Denton said the new GranTurismo is going to be "more compact rather than bigger." According to AE, the model will be offered exclusively in rear-wheel drive with a twin-turbo V8 3.8-liter developing more than 550 bhp (410 kW). The aforementioned Alfieri coupe & cabrio duo will get both RWD and AWD systems while power will come from a turbo V6 3.0-liter offered with either 404 bhp (301 kW), 444 (331 kW) or 513 bhp (383 kW).

 

Let's not forget Maserati is also cooking up the Levante crossover scheduled to go on sale in 2016 so the Italian marque has a lot on its plate right now.
