There have been several award-winning cars from Maserati over the years, including the Maserati GranSport of 2005. There are one trim levels to the GranSport, including Base. The Base version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 2004 the popular 4.2 liter has made this a popular choice for coupe buyers nationwide.

2005 Maserati GranSport Base Specs

The restyled GranSport Base is equipped with a 4.2-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Ferrari six-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2004 version.

The fuel system for the 2005 GranSport is a traditional Bosch ME-7.3.2, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 23.30 gallons.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The GranSport comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Statistics

The GranSport is 178.10 inches long, 71.70 inches wide, and 51.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 104.70 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2005 (MSRP) was $98,172, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is in line with the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the GranSport is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market.
