2013 Maserati GranTurismo: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2013 is the new GranTurismo Sport coupe, which replaces the previous S Automatic in the U.S. lineup. This is a performance-focused lineup update rather than a full redesign, with stronger versions of the 4.7-liter V8 across the range.
About the 2013 Maserati GranTurismo
1st generation (M145, 2008-2019), mid-cycle performance lineup update year
Maserati positions the GranTurismo as an Italian grand tourer first and a hard-edge sports car second. Its appeal is the mix of long-hood Pininfarina styling, a naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack, a hand-finished four-seat cabin, and real road-trip comfort. Compared with rivals, the GranTurismo sells more on character, sound, and design than on lap-time bragging rights. Even in Sport and MC form, it is meant to feel special on a long drive, not just on a track day.
The 2013 range spans three distinct personalities: a relaxed four-seat convertible, the more focused Sport coupe and convertible, and the harder-edged MC coupe. Sport models pair a 454-hp V8 with an adaptive suspension, navigation and heated leather seats, while the MC adds aggressive bodywork, a firmer suspension and carbon-fiber cabin trim.
