The Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic has arrived in China where it is making its Asian debut this week at the 2009 Shanghai International Motor Show providing another new Maserati model for a market that is increasingly important for the legendary Italian car maker.

In 2008 Maserati delivered a total of 350 cars in China via a sales and service network in 11 of China’s largest cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. This represents a 70 per cent increase over its 2007 sales total.
