Vehicle overview
With a classic convertible look and a responsive Ferrari-sourced V8 engine sending power to the rear wheels, the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo represents an emotional and stylish approach to the sports car.

Having said that, the GranTurismo was never competitive on the high peaks of ultimate performance to begin with, and now it's fallen behind on the technology front as well. Advanced safety and convenience features are nowhere to be found. The infotainment system is dreadfully outdated, and even a rearview camera is missing. We like this car's fashion-forward approach, but there are just too many drawbacks to give it a recommendation.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
The 2017 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is beautiful and has one of the last non-turbocharged V8 engines in the market. It lacks modern safety and comfort technology found on rival luxury drop-tops.
Trim tested
Edmunds has not yet driven any version of the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, but we have limited experience with earlier versions. The following is our take on what's significant about it and what you can expect.
Driving
Thanks to its willing V8 engine, the GranCabrio belongs on twisty mountain roads and passes. What it lacks in modern conveniences, it makes up for in character.
Comfort
The adaptive suspension is compliant enough in Comfort mode to smooth bumps in the road, but the stiff sport suspension on the MC trims may ruin the ride. The front seats are aggressively bolstered but well shaped and padded for comfortable touring.
Interior
The GranTurismo uses premium materials throughout the cabin. But controls for infotainment and climate have a last-decade feel, and many features aren't even offered. Backseat space is limited, making it suitable for small passengers only.
Technology
While the design and materials of the GranCabrio are stylish, modern and oh-so Italian, the infotainment system is dated. Plus, it does not have the assisted driving controls, connectivity and entertainment options that its competitors have had for a few years now.
Which GranTurismo Convertible does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the new GranTurismo Convertible Sport Special Edition. If features the Sport's 454-hp engine, versus the base model's 444-hp, and new exterior and interior trim pieces, colors, materials, and wheel choices. You can still customize interior leather and trim pieces however you like, while additional carbon pieces, such as the hood, can even be left in clear coat, exposing the raw surface.
2017 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible models
The 2017 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, or GranCabrio, is a two-door coupe with seating for four. A coupe model is covered in a separate review. Four trim levels are available: base, Sport, MC and MC Centennial Edition. Each version features a Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 (444 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque for the base, or 454 hp and 384 lb-ft) and a six-speed automatic transmission. All versions are rear-wheel-drive only and feature a power-operated top and seating for four. The biggest differences between models are wheels and trim options.
The base GranTurimso's standard feature highlights include 20-inch wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, automatic wipers, adaptive suspension dampers, a sport exhaust, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a navigation system, Bluetooth, and a Bose surround-sound system with satellite radio and an iPhone interface. Options are generally limited to exterior and interior trim and color materials.
Along with a higher-output 454-hp engine, the Sport includes a recalibrated transmission that decreases shift time, different exterior and interior trim, and the ability to spec additional interior trim materials.
Equipped with the same powertrain as the Sport model, the MC and MC Centennial Edition gain additional exterior color and interior leather options and finishes. Bodywork changes include a vented hood, optionally in carbon fiber, and a rear decklid with a wing and integrated third brake light, and rear fascia with circular exhaust tips brought closer to the middle. The Centennial Edition takes the MC and changes the color palette to reflect the Maserati logo. The adaptive suspension is an option on the MC.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
Maserati GranTurismo Convertible owners consistently appreciate its charismatic driving experience. The Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 engine is described as producing a pleasing, soulful exhaust note that elevates every drive. This powertrain excellence is complemented by the stylish, handcrafted design that exudes Italian elegance. The vehicle's interior is noted for its high-quality leather seating, comfortably accommodating four passengers with a sense of luxury that feels both classic and refined. Despite the convertible's heavier build, it handles twisty roads with surprising agility, inspiring confidence thanks to its precise handling and minimal body roll. The Maserati not only turns heads, but also invites admiration from onlookers, often becoming a topic of conversation. The emotional appeal of owning a piece of Italian craftsmanship is unmatched, blending exclusivity with a genuine sense of driving pleasure. Even with the top down, the cabin remains relatively quiet, allowing for enjoyable conversations and a serene driving environment. Owners find joy in the vehicle’s dual nature - capable of transporting family by day and cruising spiritedly by night. The GranTurismo captures the essence of a grand touring convertible, delivering a mix of performance, luxury, and undeniable charm. Its timeless design and engaging driving dynamics keep owners content, underscoring the sense of satisfaction derived from choosing this distinctive Italian model.
Common Issues
Drivers of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible frequently point to its outdated electronics as a significant issue. The infotainment system, lacking a touch screen and modern connectivity features, is a notable inconvenience that sets it behind newer models. Additionally, the GPS system is criticized for its lack of functionality, particularly the absence of real-time traffic updates and detailed street information, which can be frustrating for navigation. While the sound of the engine is universally praised, the audio system struggles to deliver adequate volume, especially when the convertible top is down. The absence of a backup camera is a recurring complaint, making parking maneuvers more challenging, especially in tight spaces. Practicality is compromised further by the small trunk space, which limits storage capacity for trips that require more luggage. In cold climates, some owners report issues with the tire pressure monitoring system, which can unsettle the driving experience with inaccurate alerts. Reliability concerns also surface, with instances of repeated battery failures and costly replacements. Maintenance experiences are sometimes criticized for being costly, and service support doesn't always live up to expectations. The convertible top, although beautifully integrated, is noted to retract slower compared to some rivals, adding a pinch of irritation during quick transitions between open and closed driving. Lastly, the GranTurismo’s weight, while contributing to its smooth ride, is perceived as a hindrance to acceleration and overall performance.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
Everyday drivers of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible walk away with a blend of gratification and frustration. They relish the pleasure of driving a car that not only embodies exquisite Italian design but also delivers a captivating auditory sensation with its Ferrari-sourced V8 engine. This timeless appeal captures the essence of what makes the GranTurismo a fulfillment of many car enthusiast's dreams. However, the nostalgia stops short when faced with the realities of outdated technology. The infotainment and navigation systems, reminiscent of a bygone era, often prompt drivers to turn elsewhere for tech-savvy features. Simple daily conveniences such as a backup camera, sorely missed, become a reminder of how far behind the GranTurismo lags its competition. Cargo space limitations mean spontaneous road trips could require a bit more planning. Yet, the thrill of engaging sport mode and feeling the power beneath the hood continues to excite many owners. Questions of reliability emerge now and then, particularly when erratic electronics or mechanical quirks rear their heads. Despite these hitches, owning a GranTurismo is less about utilitarian need and more about embracing the joy of an automotive icon. As drivers toggle between the practical and the indulgent, the Maserati remains.

2013 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport 2dr Convertible (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
I obtained this vehicle with every option offered.
Even the carbon fiber trim. The vehicle is a little disappointing.
The GPS is incredibly horrible. It is not touch screen and there are no street names listed other than the street you are travelling on. If you purchase Sirius radio, the real time traffic option will not work with this 2013 vehicle.
The sound system is not loud … enough when travelling with the top down. In terms of comfort, it is wonderful. The acceleration could be a lot better. This is a heavy vehicle. Very smooth ride.
Engine sounds amazing and the vehicle definitely draws attention. The top takes a little long to retract compared to other convertibles.
Elegant, Understated Beast

2010 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible 2dr Convertible (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
The Maserati GranTourismo Convertible is an elegant yet understated beast.
In the daytime, it quietly rumbles it way to your kids' carpool where it comfortably seats 3 additional passengers.
In the evening, it gets front-door parking at the fundraiser.
On the weekend, you switch to sport mode, then rev up above 3K RPMs and listen to that 4.7 Ferrari engine roar to life.
While the … GranTourismo-C *is* a heavy touring car with a heavy feel, it's still "tight" through twisties, and handles well with virtually no body roll.
It inspires confidence in all situations.
A Dream Car

2014 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport 2dr Convertible (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
Simply a great car that is so much fun to drive. It is unique and gets a thumbs up from the cars that come by. As soon as you park, people come by to ask about the maserati. So far it has been very reliable though in cold weather the tire gauge setting goes on which is why I rated build and reliability at 4. However the maserati has a sold feel to it. My only complaint would be that … they have not introduced a rear camera yet but I have heard it is coming in future additions.
A fabulous 4 person grand touring car with charism

2014 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport 2dr Convertible (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
Be advised that your not buying this car for high tech. It has antiquated electronics but that’s totally overshadowed by the charisma of driving and the smooth music of the tuned exhaust. It’s truly a head turner.
