About the 2011 Maserati GranTurismo
1st generation GranTurismo/GranTurismo Convertible (coupe launched for 2008, convertible launched for 2010); early pre-refresh year.
The 2011 GranTurismo is Maserati’s classic Italian grand tourer: a front-engine V8 car built as much for long, stylish road trips as for performance driving. Maserati’s own messaging centers on Pininfarina styling, rich cabin materials, and unusual four-seat usability for this kind of exotic coupe or convertible. That is the model’s real point of difference versus many rivals: it delivers dramatic looks and a big naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack, but with genuine comfort for more than two people.
The standard coupe and convertible focus on comfortable four-seat touring, with a naturally aspirated V8, adaptive suspension, leather trim, and Bose audio. The S coupe has a stronger 4.7-liter V8, larger Brembo brakes, a sport exhaust, 20-inch wheels, and leather-and-Alcantara sport seats.
