The 1947 brainchild of sports car maker Maserati and Italian designer Pininfarina is about to have a very big comeback. Only 58 copies were made of Maserati’s first road car, Gran Turismo, which was based on a racing chassis.

The release of the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo, premiering at the Geneva Motor Show, will give car enthusiasts a second chance to get their hands on the elusive GT.

No details have been released regarding how many GTs will be made this go-round or exactly when the car will be available for purchase. If you’re looking to buy, count on paying $125,000-$135,000.

With the hype that's building up about these cars, there is plenty of information available for those who are interested. To read more about the Maserati GranTurismo and Maserati events, visit www.granturismoisback.com and www.maseraticelebratesfangio.com.
