This is an interesting except describing how the GS gets the extra 10 HP.... I wonder if we can get the GS gearbox programming in the CC. I don't think the gear ratios can be changed though....
To herd eleven more ponies into the 4.2-liter V-8's stable, Maserati's R&D head, Roberto Corradi, tightened critical manufacturing tolerances, reshaped intake runners and exhaust-valve seats for better flow, and added a computer-controlled muffler bypass to boost output above 4000 rpm. The Cambiocorsa gearbox is the only transmission offered; its software has been rewritten to shave the gearchange time by 35 percent, and its sixth-gear ratio is four percent taller to exploit the GranSport's newfound power and reduced drag.
