Maserati GranTurismo S - Auto Express

A review of the Maserati GranTurismo S supercar has been posted over at AutoExpress.co.uk. 'This car's comfort-oriented six-speed ZF auto transmission and increased performance should be a marriage madein heaven - but is it? It's nearly a year to the day since the GranTurismo S exploded on to the scene. At launch, the only gearbox on offer was the sequential robotised manual - a race-like transmission capable of swapping cogs in a rapid 100 milliseconds. However, it felt overly harsh on full-bore manual upshifts, and was a crude imitation in automatic mode. Which is where this new, more civilised six-speed gearbox comes in.'
