The Maserati Gran Turismo

Maserati Quattroporte

Sublime, Powerful Maseratis in
Columbus Celebration Raffles

Two luxury Maserati sports cars will be raffled this year to benefit the Columbus Citizens Foundation’s scholarship programs.

The GranTurismo was introduced in 2008 to rave reviews in the automotive press and has become an instant classic. The dazzling coup features a 405 hp V8 engine that can launch the GranTurismo from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. There are only 300 raffle tickets available for the GranTurismo, which will be sold at $1,000 each.

For those requiring four door transportation, the Columbus Citizens Foundation and Maserati North America are offering raffle tickets for the highly anticipated 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S, which is considered to be the most stylish four-door sedan in production and is powered by an all new 4.7 liter engine with 425 hp. We will be offering only 400 raffle tickets for this model, also for $1,000 each.

The cars will be on display in Grand Central Terminal from October 4th through October 17th. The drawing for the 2009 Maserati GranTurismo will be held at our Annual Gala at the Waldorf≈Astoria Hotel on October 11, 2008 at 11:00 PM. The drawing for the 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S will be held in Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal at 9:00 PM on October 17, 2008.

Maserati USA is partnering with the Columbus Citizens Foundation in the raffles in recognition of the Foundation’s scholarship programs and of the company’s own Italian heritage. You can participate in the 2008 Columbus Week raffles by calling Millie Aponte at the Foundation at (212) 249-9923. On behalf of the Foundation and the students whose education we support, thank you for your generosity. Buona Fortuna!
