2012 Maserati GranTurismo

Base MSRP $123,000

The GranTurismo is Maserati's high-performance grand-touring sport coupe, featuring strong V8 engines and 2+2 seating. Maserati says that the new GranTurismo MC Stradale model is the fastest, lightest, and most powerful car in the brand's lineup. Compared to other grand-touring coupes like the Jaguar XK, BMW M6 or even the Audi R8, the GranTurismo has Italian design on its side, with an unmistakable expressiveness and flair--and an unmistakable engine sound--that simply isn't found in the more engineering-focused German grand-tourers. The GranTurismo models also have more opportunity for customization.
