Overview

The 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With two trims on offer, the 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Coupe has a base MSRP of $132,975 and competes directly with Jaguar F-Type SVR Coupe and the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe. Only a 4.7L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 454 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, the Maserati GranTurismo Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG. Maserati offers the GranTurismo Coupe in 17 stunning colors, with the Rosso Mondiale Pearlescent being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

It is recommended that you choose the base trim. You get all the important features in a less expensive package than the MC. Some of the standard features include adaptive suspension dampers, adaptive xenon headlights, heated front seats, an 8.4-inch touchscreen display with Android Auto and Apple Carplay support, etc.
