Parlato said GranSport's interior ''reflects its brilliant personality both in terms of aesthetics and functionality, yet also exudes the elegant good taste and luxurious comfort of a Trident Grand Tourer.''
The dashboard, body-hugging seats, tunnel, thick rimmed steering wheel, impressive materials (leather, carbon fibre, alloy, high tech fabric) all combine to create an attractively sporty ambience too, Parlato said.
The upper part of the dash is trimmed in leather, while the central area, framed by the car-coloured piping strip, is trimmed in a special high tech fabric originally developed for nautical use and available in Nero (Black), Grigio Nickel (Nickel Grey) or Blu Metal (Metal Blue). This is a double layered material which is not only very attractive but also non-slip and extremely hard-wearing, said Parlato, ''making it ideal for trimming the central area of sports seats and the lower rim of the steering wheel.''
The front seats are designed for high lateral containment, said Parlato, ''and guarantee maximum driver contact with the car for perfect control. This is why the seats are also fully power adjustable and can, on request, be supplied with a heating option and memorised settings on the driver's side.''
The carbon, leather-trimmed tunnel separates the two front seats and holds the Cambiocorsa control selector and the secondary commands, each one of which is set into a chrome surround.
The blue Start button and other main control buttons, Parlato pointed out, are grouped together on the central console near the driver.
The Maserati GranSport is available in what Parlato said are the six sportiest colours in the Maserati range, each one of which can be combined with various interior options.
This is the starting point from which the Officine Alfieri Maserati program can be used to include a vast array of other personalisation options, Parlato explained
That would include the colours of the interior trim leather and fabric, as well as such technical or comfort-oriented features as Xenon headlights, Skyhook suspension, Mercury Grey and Ball-Polished options for the wheels, carbon interior and exterior components, GPS and GSM telephone module controlled from the radio unit, and a six-disc CD Changer, ''to mention but a few.''
