Maserati Alfieri
The next-gen GranTurismo will be
reportedly followed by a production version of the Alfieri Concept, which is
expected to hit the market sometimes over the next couple of years.
The company is developing
underpinnings for a new GranTurismo as well as the Alfieri-based machine,
confirming that both sports cars will sit alongside each other, sharing the
same platform, but targeting different customers.
Maserati's new sports cars will both use
aluminum to reduce weight and will be significantly lighter over the two
sedans. The engine options remain in the dark zone for now, but the Alfieri
could eventually gain the same range of twin-turbo V6 and V8 units from its
siblings, along with the 8-speed automatic transmission, which could also be
offered on the next GranTurismo.
The upcoming Maserati GranTurismo is
expected to debut in Europe in 2017 and be followed by the Alfieri a year
later.
