"   GENEVA \u2014 Just a year after letting us feast our eyes on its Gran Turismo coupe with the exclusive North American unveiling, Maserati is back here with the all-new Gran Turismo S, which they&amp;#039;re calling the ultimate expression of the coupe&amp;#039;s high-performance capabilities. We say it makes an already lustworthy vehicle even more drool-enducing.   Two major improvements separate the GTS from its predecessor: a 35-pony bump up to a 440-hp 4.7-liter V8 engine with an electrically actuated transmission courtesy of a Maserati MC-Shift in the transaxle; and a high-performance brake system you&amp;#039;ve seen in the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. The new brake functionality features front brake discs made with dual-cast (iron and aluminum) technology, paired with aluminum monobloc 6-piston brake calipers.   Outside, the Gran Turismo S has sportier mods that still don&amp;#039;t mess with Pininfarina&amp;#039;s sleek design for the original coupe. The interior comes upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara, horizontal piping on the seats and seatbacks accentuate the body-hugging front and rear seats.   Pricing was unavailable at press time, but if we had to guess, well, we&amp;#039;d aim high. Come on, this video says it all. \u2014Jim McCraw    RELATED STORIES \u2022 VIDEO: Maserati Gran Turismo&amp;#039;s First North American Unveil   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
