Days after we dropped Pininfarina's sketches on you–you Italian-loving readers–we have obtained official pictures of the new Maserati "Gran Turismo" concept weeks before its Geneva launch.
In terms of engines, there is still talk of various V-8s, but the chief candidate seems to be a significantly updated version of the Ferrari-Maserati 4.2-liter V-8. Local chatter puts capacity at 4.5 liters—that will reportedly be good for upward of 500 horsepower. This is the engine that will in turn be shared with the apparently forthcoming costly Alfa Romeo super-GTs, which will be back on North American soil by 2009 or so.
