An electro-actuated 6-speed gearbox paired with the 4.7-liter V8 engine and MC-Shift software, rules the new engine's power output ensuring a gearshift performance.  The MC-Shift software eliminates the extra time taken for acceleration, bringing it down to 100ms.

The engine and gearbox on the Maserati GranTurismo S are arranged in the Transaxle layout. The front-mounted engine and the gearbox are connected by a tubular element containing the driveshaft. This distributes the weight with 47 per cent over the front axle and 53 per cent over the rear axle.

The interiors are furnished in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara (used for the steering wheel and centre of the seat with the option to extend to the whole of the headlining). Alternatives are also available to the standard leather to give it a more refined look.
