Modifying an exotic car is a critical issue, because they already look pretty impressive and they are powerful enough to satisfy anyone’s thirst for speed. So you have to come up with a unique plan and be careful not to mess with it too much or you ruin it. It shouldn’t be a problem for Novitec  though, since they have proven themselves with their magnificent works on different Ferrari models. Now they’ve tried their magic on the Maserati GranTurismo S under the  ‘Tridente’ badge…

And it’s just as exquisite! Fortunately they have not ruined the great looks of the car by a stupid bodykit. There are only some slight touches like front and rear spoiler and side skirts, all of them pretty elegant. And of course you get the Novitec wheels as well, 20 inch in front and 21 for rear.

But it’s under the bonnet where you find what Novitec magic really  is! The standard 4.7 liter V8 has got a supercharger, a new high-flow exhaust system and an ECU treatment. The result is a massive 600 hp. it is about 200 hp more than the standard car so some other parts need to be re-tuned accordingly, and with the KW custom setup suspension it is assured that the GT won’t handle like a clown!

This is brilliant, I mean every body likes more power and more speed, but something is irritating here, and that’s the point of this car. You see the standard Gran Turismo is a fantastic GT car, a long distance cruiser which manages to be fast and comfortable at the same time. When you turn it to a supercar with 600 hp and a racing suspension, it’s kinda missing the whole point! It is certainly not a car you use on track and for road use, what’s exactly the problem with the original ?! As an engineering job though, Novitec GT is truly great.
