Maserati Granturismo and Grancabrio

Maserati now offers its luxury coupé and convertible with petrol and electric power. Which to choose? If there’s one car that defines Maserati as a brand, it’s the Maserati Granturismo, and its convertible counterpart, the GranCabrio.There have been saloons and supercars along the way, and of course the firm also sells SUVs now, but it has been making big luxury 2+2 coupés with a sporting edge for most of its history.Although there hasn’t been one enduring nameplate over the years (Maserati has used 3500GT, Sebring, Coupé etc), the model line is arguably to Maserati what the 911 is to Porsche. It’s what you think of when you picture ‘a Maserati’, and the kind of car it needs to keep making – and making well – to give legitimacy to its SUVs.To ensure there’s a future for the Maserati coupé, the Granturismo – like the Maserati Grecale SUV and MC20 supercar – has been engineered to be available with both a petrol engine and a fully electric powertrain.
