GranTurismo S Sport Pack

Buyers of the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic in the UK can now order their cars with an optional Sport Pack.

Included in the pack are body-coloured side skirts and front winglets, a boot lid spoiler, Grigio Mercury Neptune alloy wheels, oval exhaust pipes, ‘black look’ headlights and a black finish for the front and side grilles.

Technical changes comprise MC Auto Shift software that delivers quicker changes from the ZF automatic transmission, plus a modified exhaust that keeps the bypass valves open in Sport mode for a better sound.

There’s no change in outputs or performance though, with the 433 bhp (323 kW / 440 PS) 4.7 litre engine still delivering a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 5.0 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph (295 km/h).

The cost of the Sport Pack is a very reasonable £3,840, and specifying it takes the price of a GranTurismo S Automatic up to £92,480.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
