While the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe turned heads in Geneva this week, so too did the new Maserati.  The newest Maserati around, the 2008 GranTurismo coupe has been more highly anticipated than milk after a large gob of peanut butter.

The new Maserati coupe places “four full seats behind a 405hp, 4.2-liter V8 on a two-door steel monocoque frame, driving by wire to the 19″ (or available 20″) rear wheels.”

The GranTurismo is about 16 feet long & weighs in at over two whopping tons.  The coupe is capable of reaching 62mph in a matter of five seconds & the top speed is about 177mph.  Not too bad, for a Maserati.
