Novitec Supercharges the Maserati GranTurismo S to 600HP
Posted by admin on May 17, 2009
By far one of the most beatiful GT’s in the market, the Maserati GranTurismo S is also one of the most potent cars ever manufactured by the Italian automaker. But for companies like Novitec, there’s always room for perfection. The German boutique’s latest pitch straps on a supercharger to the GranTurismo S’ V8 boosting output from 440HP to 600HP while the mechanical upgrades are complemented by subtle aerodynamic package and 20 / 21-inch alloy wheels.
In detail, Novitec’s Tridente arm fitted a newly developed supercharger to the GranTurismo S’ 4.7-liter V8 while other changes include a water-to-air intercooler, a new intake system and larger injectors plus new mapping for the engine electronics. The conversion that is priced at €23,681 $31,800 boosts power from 440HP to 600HP while peak torque grows from 490 Nm to 588 Nm at 5,400 rpm.
