About the 2016 Maserati GranTurismo
1st generation GranTurismo/GranCabrio (2008-2019), late-cycle year before the MY18 refresh.
For 2016, Maserati positions the GranTurismo as an emotional grand tourer first and a spec-sheet car second: a hand-finished Italian 2+2 built around design, sound, and long-distance comfort. Its core appeal is the naturally aspirated V8, distinctive styling, and a cabin trimmed like a luxury car, while still offering usable rear seats. Against rivals, the GranTurismo stands out more for drama, character, and touring feel than for cutting-edge tech.
The 2016 range centers on four-seat Italian grand touring, from the balanced Sport coupe to the more aggressive MC and anniversary-themed MC Centennial. Sport, MC, and MC Centennial models use a 454-hp 4.7-liter V8, while the base convertible pairs a 444-hp version with a power soft top. Navigation, Bluetooth, heated leather seats, Bose audio, and adaptive bi-xenon headlights are notable features across the lineup.
