Maserati GranTurismo S gets NOVITEC TRIDENTE upgrade

European tuner NOVITEC TRIDENTE now offers up a kit for the Maserati GranTurismo S, and it isn’t just all looks. A newly-developed supercharged V8 engine bumps up the power to supercar levels.

With the NOVITEC treatment, the 2+2-seater sprints to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 315 kph. An aerodynamic-enhancement package and custom-tailored 20-inch and 21-inch wheels lend the coupe an even more exclusive appearance. A sportier suspension provides more agile handling.

Increasing power output by using compressor technology has been the trademark of NOVITEC since its inception in 1989. The new NOVITEC TRIDENTE supercharged engine for the Maserati GranTurismo S continues this tradition. The 4.7-litre V8 engine is supercharged to boost power output of the GranTurismo S from the standard 440 hp to 600 hp. Peak torque grows from 490 Nm to 588 Nm at 5,400 rpm.

All exterior components are optionally available with a clear-coated carbon-fibre finish. The NOVITEC TRIDENTE front spoiler lips are attached to both sides of the production front apron. On the rear axle, a subtle spoiler lip on the boot lid and the diffuser are stuck onto the production bumper.

Exclusive interior options including a custom-made fully leather interior in any desired colour or upholstery round out the NOVITEC TRIDENTE program.

While the kit has to be special-ordered from NOVITEC, the standard car is available in the GCC. Check out the Maserati GranTurismo buyer guide.
