Dan spent many years covering the go-fast, look-good, get-loud corners of the automotive universe. First, he served as editor of enthusiast magazines AutoSound and Honda Tuning, then as executive editor at SEMA News, the publishing arm of the trade group that produces the annual SEMA Show (yes, that show). As a contributor to Edmunds, he now likes to keep the volume low and the speed limit legal, providing expert car-shopping advice to drivers looking for the perfect match.
Pros
- Sleek styling embodies Italian design
- Raspy V8 engine sounds wonderful in all conditions
Cons
- Lacks many of today's driver safety aids
- Interior design is dated
- Backseat space is limited
- All-wheel drive isn't offered
What's new
- Nerissimo appearance packages now available
- Sport package includes newly available carbon-fiber hood and 20-inch wheels
- Coupe body style no longer available
- Part of the first GranTurismo generation introduced for 2007
The same Maserati GranTurismo convertible rolling off the line today is the same body style that you would have seen debut more than a decade ago. In the quick-moving class of high-end sport luxury cars, the Maser may as well be the Yoda of its peers.

Avg. Midsize Car
Maserati's combination of seductive style, a visceral V8 power source and dynamic character is undoubtedly timeless. But timeless only gets you so far, especially when today's rivals offer more technology, driver aids and other modern touches. The biggest change that the GranTurismo offers for 2019, for example, is a new blacked-out styling package and the absence of the coupe body style.
We like the GranTurismo's ability to be both an agile backroads handler and a sedate interstate highway cruiser. Overall, however, we think you'll be happier with newer convertibles such as the BMW 8 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
Trim tested
Edmunds has not yet driven any model of the 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
Maserati claims a 0-60 mph sprint of 4.7 seconds, which is quick but not competitive compared to the acceleration of rival luxury sport convertibles. Handling is capable and enjoyable. The nonadaptive sport suspensions on MC models are stiffer at the expense of comfort.
Comfort
The adaptive suspension is compliant enough in Comfort mode to smooth bumps in the road. 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 cabin uses premium materials throughout, and the 8.4-inch entertainment display should be easy to use. Other interior controls look and feel as if they're from the last decade, and many expected features aren't even offered. Backseat space is limited, making it suitable for small passengers only.
Utility
Storage space is small, both in the cabin and in the trunk. The narrow door pockets, small cupholders and a center armrest bin are all you get to hold your personal items.
Technology
The 8.4-inch entertainment display includes standard support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Rival luxury convertibles offer more modern infotainment, however. Also, the GranTurismo still lacks advanced driver aids such as forward collision warning and lane keeping assist.
Which GranTurismo Convertible does Edmunds recommend?
With just two trim levels to choose from, there's not much to agonize about. We say just go with the Sport. It'll save you a decent chunk of change compared to the MC, and it comes with all the important features you need. You can still spec the Sport with most of the MC's standard color and trim upgrades but at a lower cost. More importantly, the Sport comes with an adaptive suspension that delivers a more compliant ride quality.
2019 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible models
The 2019 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible seats four and is available in two trim levels: Sport and MC. Both come with a 4.7-liter V8 engine (454 horsepower, 384 lb-ft of torque), a six-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
Standard features on the Sport include 20-inch wheels, adaptive suspension dampers, automatic and adaptive xenon headlights, heated and auto-dimming side mirrors, and front and rear parking sensors.
Inside the cabin are leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a rearview camera. Tech highlights include an 8.4-inch entertainment display, Bluetooth, navigation, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
The MC starts where the Sport leaves off. The biggest hardware change is a firmer nonadaptive suspension for sportier handling. Other upgrades include MC-specific 20-inch wheels and exterior trim, a carbon-fiber hood and chrome exhaust tips. The interior gains a microfiber suede headliner (coupe only), aluminum pedals and the brand's trident logo stitched into the headrests.
More fun begins with the GranTurismo's options sheet, where you can tailor color and interior style to taste. There are nearly a dozen different wheel choices — all 20 inches in diameter but in finishes ranging from silver to graphite to titanium — as well as varied shades of brake calipers.
Interior options include covering nearly every surface area with some form of suede or leather, contrast stitching, accent trims in wood or carbon fiber, and a half-dozen steering wheel choices. If you prefer to skip the mixing and matching, there are a handful of interior and exterior packages, including the new-for-2019 Nerissimo package, which bundles 20-inch gloss black wheels with other exterior black-out elements.
A carbon-fiber hood in choice of body color is also available (one of the priciest options on the menu), and the MC can also be specced with the Sport trim's adaptive suspension in place of the standard sport-tuned suspension if you prefer a smoother ride.

There are limited options on this vehicle

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
gtdave, 05/04/2012
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.

An exotic car at a reasonable price.

2015 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport 2dr Convertible (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
Great styling and fun to drive. The only after market accessory it needs is a backup camera , and Bluetooth The trunk is small but this is not the type of car that needs a lot of storage. A great value compared to other similar vehicles in it's class.

A Dream Car
arcoog, 12/23/2014
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.
