XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2026

The GranTurismo’s Skyhook electronic damping was clever for 2007 – and a headache by 2026. Solenoid failures, dashboard warning lights, and replacement struts priced like a small motorcycle have pushed plenty of owners toward a proper passive setup. This XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally kit is built specifically to delete the Skyhook system on the MS02-C chassis without leaving an error code hanging on the dash.

For a 1,880kg front-engined GT carrying a 4.2 or 4.7-litre Ferrari-derived V8 over the front axle, the Tarmac Rally spec is a more serious answer than it first sounds. The name refers to the damping philosophy – control over broken, mid-speed surfaces – which is exactly what the British B-road and most UK trackday paddock access roads actually are.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2026 Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Replacing Skyhook with a fixed, mechanically adjustable damper changes the GranTurismo’s character in a way owners notice within the first mile. The nose stops floating over crests and settling late into corners; turn-in tightens because the front damping is no longer ramping unpredictably. Tarmac Rally valving is built around longer-travel compliance with strong rebound control, so the car still rides its 20-inch wheels over expansion joints without skipping the rear. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, which matters on a car this heavy – you set the corner weights properly rather than cranking collars and hoping. Damping is adjustable across a usable range, letting you soften things for a continental run and firm up for a circuit afternoon at Donington or Anglesey.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally sits in XYZ Racing’s rally-derived line, valved for the high-amplitude, broken-surface work that tarmac stages demand and that translates remarkably well to UK road conditions. Construction is monotube with a larger piston for consistent damping under sustained load – critical on a heavy GT where conventional twin-tubes fade after a few hard miles. The included cancellation kit is the important part: it spoofs the Skyhook control unit so the car’s ECU sees the original electronic dampers as present and functioning, suppressing the warning light and the limp-home behaviour that normally follows a Skyhook fault. Spring rates are matched to the GranTurismo’s weight distribution rather than borrowed from a lighter platform. Top mounts, lower brackets, and hardware are kit-specific to the MS02-C application.

Fitment for the Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2007-2026)

This kit fits the MS02-C chassis GranTurismo across the full 2007-2026 production span, covering the original 4.2 V8 cars through the 4.7 S, MC Stradale, and the run-out MC variants. The cancellation kit is what makes this listing distinct from a standard coilover application – it is the right choice for any GranTurismo originally equipped with Skyhook adaptive damping.
