Overview
The 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $123,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe, the Jaguar XKR-S Coupe, and the Aston Martin Vantage Coupe. Between 2 trims, the GranTurismo offers a single powertrain with two different outputs depending on the trim level. The base engine is a 4.7L V8 capable of making 433 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, the same engine on the MC Stradale trim makes 444 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard. The GranTurismo reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.9 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.8 seconds with the higher output. Meanwhile, regardless of engine output, the GranTurismo Coupe manages a combined fuel economy of 15 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the GranTurismo comes in really pull you towards itself.
