The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are a series of
The first generation GranTurismo (M145) was introduced at the 2007
The GranTurismo Sport, introduced in 2012, replaced the GranTurismo S and featured a revised 4.7-litre engine rated at 460 PS (340 kW; 450 hp). The GranTurismo MC Stradale, unveiled in 2011, is a more aerodynamic version with a 450 PS (330 kW; 440 hp) engine and reaching a top speed of 303 kilometres per hour (188 mph). The GranCabrio, the convertible version, was unveiled at the 2009
The second generation, GranTurismo II (M189), was revealed in 2022 and began production in April 2023. It offers three models: Modena, Trofeo, and Folgore (electric). Based on the Giorgio Sport platform, petrol engined models feature a newly-developed 3.0-litre Nettuno twin-turbocharged V6 engine, with the Trofeo variant being the most powerful at 550 PS (400 kW; 540 hp). The Folgore model is a battery electric version with a range of 450 kilometres (280 mi).
GranTurismo I (M145, 2007–2019)

Curb weight | 1,880 kg (4,140 lb) (European version) |
The first generation of Maserati GranTurismo (Tipo M145) was unveiled at the
GranTurismo (2007–2019)
The model was initially equipped with a 4.2-litre (4,244 cc (259.0 cu in)) V8 engine developed in conjunction with Ferrari. The engine generates a maximum power output of 405 PS (298 kW; 399 hp) and is equipped with a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. The 2+2 body was derived from the Maserati M139 platform, also shared with the Maserati Quattroporte V, with double-wishbone front suspension and a multilink rear suspension. It had a drag coefficient of 0.33.[6]
GranTurismo S (2008–2012)
The better equipped S variant was unveiled at the
GranTurismo MC (2009–2010)
The GranTurismo MC is the racing version of the GranTurismo S developed to compete in the
The GranTurismo MC was unveiled at the
GranTurismo MC Sport Line (2009–2019)
Introduced in 2008, the GranTurismo MC Sport Line is a customisation programme based on the GranTurismo MC concept. Changes include front and rear carbon-fibre spoilers, carbon-fibre mirror housings and door handles, 20-inch wheels, carbon-fibre interior (steering wheel rim, paddle shifters, instrument panel, dashboard, door panels), stiffer springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars with custom Maserati Stability Programme software and 10 mm (0.4 in) lower height than GranTurismo S. The programme was initially offered for the GranTurismo S only, with the product line expanded to all GranTurismo variants and eventually all Maserati vehicles in 2009.
GranTurismo MC Stradale (2011–2015)
In September 2010, Maserati announced plans to unveil a new version of the GranTurismo - the MC Stradale - at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The strictly two-seat MC Stradale is more powerful than the GranTurismo at 450 PS (331 kW; 444 hp), friction reduction accounts for the increase, says Maserati, due to the strategic use of “diamond-like coating", an antifriction technology derived from Formula 1, on wear parts such as the cams and followers. It is also 110 kg lighter (1,670 kg dry weight) from the GranTurismo, and more aerodynamic than any previous GranTurismo model - all with the same fuel consumption as the regular GranTurismo.[11] In addition to two air intakes in the bonnet, the MC Stradale also receives a new front splitter and rear air dam for better aerodynamics, downforce, and improved cooling of carbon-ceramic brakes and engine. The body modifications make the car 48 mm (2 in) longer.[12]
The MC Race Shift 6-speed robotised manual gearbox (which shares its electronics and some of its hardware from the
The push for the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale came from existing Maserati customers who wanted a road-legal super sports car that looked and felt like the GT4, GTD, and Trofeo race cars. It has been confirmed by the Maserati head office that only 497 units of 2-seater MC Stradales were built in total from 2011 to 2013 in the world, Europe: 225 units, China: 45 units, Hong Kong: 12, Taiwan: 23 units, Japan: 33 units, Indonesia :6 units, Oceania: 15 units and 138 units in other countries.[14]
US market MC's do not have the "Stradale" part of the name, and they are sold with a fully automatic six-speed transmission rather than the one available in the rest of the world. US market cars also do not come with carbon fibre lightweight seats like the rest of the world.[15]
The MC Stradale's suspension is 8% stiffer and the car rides slightly lower than the GranTurismo S following feedback from racing drivers who appreciated the better grip and intuitive driving feel of the lower profile. Pirelli has custom-designed extra-wide 20-inch P Zero Corsa tyres to fit new alloy wheels.
The Brembo braking system with carbon-ceramic discs weighs around 60% less than the traditional system with steel discs. The front is equipped with 380 x 34 mm ventilated discs, operated by a 6 piston caliper. The rear discs measure 360 x 32 mm with four-piston calipers. The stopping distance is 33 m at 100 km/h (62 mph) with an average deceleration of 1.2g.
At the
GranTurismo Sport (2012–2019)
Replacing both the GranTurismo S and S Automatic, the Granturismo Sport was unveiled in March 2012 at the
The revised 4.7L engine is rated at 460 PS (338 kW; 454 hp).From 2018, GranTurismo Sport features a unique MC Stradale-inspired front fascia, new headlights and new, sportier steering wheel and seats. The ZF six-speed automatic gearbox is now standard, while the six-speed automated manual transaxle is available as an option. The latter has steering column-mounted paddle-shifters, a feature that's optional with the automatic gearbox. New redesigned front bumper and air splitter lowers drag coefficient from Cd=0.33 to 0.32.[20]
GranCabrio I (2010–2019)
The GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible in the United States and Canada)[21] is a convertible version of the GranTurismo S Automatic, equipped with a canvas folding roof. The GranCabrio retains the four seat configuration of the GranTurismo coupé, and is thus Maserati's first ever four-seater convertible.[22]
The GranCabrio was unveiled at the
The GranCabrio is powered by the same 4.7-litre V8 engine (rated at 440 PS (324 kW; 434 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 490 N⋅m (361 lb⋅ft) at 4,750 rpm) that is fitted to the GranTurismo S Automatic. About 11,715 units of the convertible model were produced.[5]
GranCabrio Sport (2011–2019)
At the
From 2018, to hint at the car's more sporting nature, the headlights have black surrounds and other details such as the bars in the grille are also finished in black. There are also larger side skirts as well as tiny winglets on the lower front corners. New front bumper and air splitter substantially lower drag coefficient from original Cd=0.35 to 0.33.[25]
GranCabrio Fendi
The Fendi is a version of the GranCabrio designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi. It was unveiled at the
GranCabrio MC (2013–2019)
The GranCabrio MC four-seater open-top is 48 mm (1.9 in) longer than GranCabrio with front end inspired directly by MC Stradale and equipped with much improved aerodynamics compared to standard models. Power comes from 4.7 L 90° V8 delivering 460 PS (338 kW; 454 hp) and 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) of torque. Top speed is 289 km/h (180 mph) and acceleration from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) happens in 4.9 seconds. The only transmission is an MC Auto Shift, 6-speed ZF automatic. Wheels are 20 inch MC Design units. It premiered on 27 September 2012 at the Paris Motor Show.
Specifications
The architecture of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio derives from the M139
The chassis is made of stamped and boxed steel sections, and is complemented by two aluminium subframes: one at the front supporting the engine and providing suspension attaching points, and a tubular one at the rear supporting both suspension and differential (or the entire transmission in transaxle cars). Structural body panels are steel, the bonnet is aluminium and the boot lid is a single sheet moulding compound piece.
The suspension system consists of
Engines
The engines are from Ferrari/Maserati F136 V8 family.

One-offs and special editions
Touring Sciàdipersia
Debuted by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera in March 2018 at Geneva Motor Show, the car was based on the Maserati GranTurismo and inspired by the original Maserati 5000 GT Shah of Persia.[30][31]
Touring Sciàdipersia Cabriolet
The car was introduced by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera at the
GranTurismo Zéda
It's the final production example of the first generation GranTurismo. It was presented painted in a gradient of blue, black and white colours.[2]
GranTurismo II (M189, 2023–present)
Second generation (M189) | ||
---|---|---|
Curb weight | 1,795–2,260 kg (3,957–4,982 lb) |
The second-generation of the Maserati GranTurismo grand tourer was revealed online in October 2022.[1] Three models: the base Modena, the Trofeo, and the battery electric Folgore are available.
Internally designated M189, the second-generation GranTurismo is based on the Giorgio platform which underpins a range of vehicles that have internal combustion engines or battery electric powertrain systems.[36] The GranTurismo is highly based on the Grecale mid-size crossover which features a similar design, similar technical data, and models.[37]
Its length and width have increased by 78 mm (3.1 in), 108 mm (4.3 in) respectively, while its height has stayed the same. Its wheelbase has decreased by 13 mm (0.51 in). Production for the UK started in April 2023, while production for the US is scheduled to start in MY2024.[37]
Due to the usage of lightweight materials such as aluminium and magnesium, ICE models weigh 1,795 kg (3,957 lb), which is relatively light for a two-row, all-wheel drive sports car. Maserati states the car is made up of 65 per cent alloy. All models utilise a double wishbone suspension at the front, with a multi-link setup at the rear.[37] Air suspension with adaptive damping is standard.
Engines, transmission, all-wheel drive, chassis, and brakes are controlled via Maserati’s "Vehicle Domain Control Module", which changes what the vehicle does based on the mode. Modes consist of: Comfort, GT, Sport and Corsa. Suspension, engine, exhaust and transmission start changing progressively as modes go up.[37]
The GranTurismo features a 12.2-inch digital dashboard and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen that controls the vehicle primary functions. A smaller 8.8-inch panel is below the central screen. A configurable
ADAS features include: adaptive cruise with lane centring, autonomous emergency braking for reversing, a 360-degree surround view camera system and a dynamic road view that shows a 3-dimensional version of surrounding vehicles on the dashboard.[37]
For the Folgore, it charges via a Type 2 port. Slow charging will take 4h and 30 minutes at a capacity of 22 kW. Fast charging will take 18 minutes at a capacity of 270 kW.[38]
