Ferrari and Maserati will take the British Motor Show by storm later this month when three new models will make their UK public debuts at 'The Sunday Times Motor Show Live' which runs from the 27th May to 6th June at Birmingham’s NEC.

Both brands will exhibit together at the show with dedicated zones on a shared 550m² stand in Hall 6, which will also include Michael Schumacher's Formula One World Championship winning F2003-GA. Nine Ferrari and Maserati road cars in all will be on show.

The all-aluminium 2+2 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, first unveiled in Detroit at the beginning of the year, raises the art of grand touring to a new level of sophistication.

Longer, wider and taller than the 456M it has replaced, and with a wheelbase increased by 350mm, the 612 offers ease-of-entry for rear-seat passengers to an outstandingly luxurious cabin which can accommodate four adults in absolute comfort.

Powered by Ferrari’s most advanced V-12 engine, the 612 Scaglietti has a top speed of 199mph and features, for the first time on a Ferrari, a computerised electronic stability and traction control system.

Meanwhile, Maserati is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and there are two new cars for the British public to see for the first time at the Show.

The latest addition to the Maserati range, the GranSport is a more aggressive alternative to the regular Coupé GT, which celebrates the sporting soul at the heart of the car by offering more power and even sharper handling in a model focused on delivering high performance.

The GranSport looks especially purposeful with its deep front spoiler, airflow-controlling side sills, discreet bootlid spoiler, chrome grille, lowered ride height and larger, 19" Trofeo racing-style alloy wheels. The 4.2-litre V8 engine punches out 400bhp, 10bhp up on the Coupé GT, through a new sports exhaust system while the Cambiocorsa paddle-shift six-speed transmission offers 35% faster gear changes, in Sport mode, and a five per cent higher top gear ratio compared to the Coupé GT.
