Maserati stopped the production of the GranTurismo lineup in 2019, but the Italian brand was already thinking of a replacement, albeit that one came in late 2022.

Besides the luxurious coupes built for long travels in luxurious cabins, Maserati also made high-performance vehicles created for track days, such as the 2023 GranTurismo Trofeo.

Maserati stepped up its game and joined the electric-car bandwagon with a high-performance vehicle based on the same platform as the 2023 GranTurismo.

The Italian automaker refreshed the GranTurismo for the 2018 model year, and besides the withdrawal of the older 4.2-liter engine, it also added new exterior and interior upgrades.

Even though the GranTurismo was a luxurious four-door coupe built to cover long distances in short periods of time, Maserati didn’t want to leave it that way and transformed it into a high-performance, track-focused supercar: the MC Stradale.

Just one year after the launch of the GranTurismo lineup in 2007, Maserati unveiled a new version of this elegant coupe at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, and the new version came with more power under its hood.

Maserati launched the GranTurismo as a replacement for the aging Coupe, which was more or less a revamped 1998 3200 GT, and it was developed in a record-time of just nine months from start to finish.
