Maserati GranTurismo: The Quintessential Grand Tourer for Coastal Cruises

There is something uniquely satisfying about piloting a grand tourer along a scenic coastal highway, where the road opens up, the Pacific breeze fills the cabin, and every mile feels like a reward. In Newport Beach, California, where winding stretches meet ocean panoramas, no vehicle captures that spirit more completely than the Maserati GranTurismo. It is not simply a sports car. It is an Italian-crafted expression of speed, elegance, and long-distance comfort, built precisely for drives like these.

At Maserati of Newport Beach, we invite drivers throughout Orange County to experience the GranTurismo model for themselves, whether you are drawn to its sculptural exterior, its Ferrari-derived engine, or the hand-stitched Italian leather that welcomes you every time you open the door.

The GranTurismo’s silhouette is one of the most celebrated in the automotive world, and for good reason. Its long hood, sweeping roofline, and wide haunches recall the golden era of Italian gran turismo design while remaining thoroughly contemporary. Sitting beside the Pacific Coast Highway or parked along the Newport Beach waterfront, this coupe looks as though it belongs there: a rolling sculpture that commands attention without demanding it.

Every surface on the GranTurismo communicates purpose. The signature oval grille, pronounced wheel arches, and sculpted air vents are not merely decorative. They are aerodynamic necessities shaped by decades of Maserati racing heritage. The available Neptune Blue, Grigio Lava, and Bianco Astro finishes complement the coastal palette perfectly, making each drive feel like part of the landscape itself.

Beneath the hood of the GranTurismo Trofeo sits a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6 engine producing 542 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, an engine co-developed with Ferrari and exclusive to Maserati. The result is a 0-to-60 miles-per-hour sprint in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 miles per hour. Yet for all of its athletic capability, the GranTurismo is equally at home at 65 miles per hour on Pacific Coast Highway, where its tuned suspension absorbs road imperfections with a composure that few grand tourers can match.

Three powertrain variants are available: the Modena, the Trofeo, and the Folgore. The GranTurismo Folgore is a fully electric version that produces the equivalent of 760 horsepower while delivering near-silent refinement perfectly suited to the relaxed rhythm of a coastal cruise. Its tri-motor all-wheel-drive system provides exceptional traction, whether you are navigating the sweeping on-ramps of the 73 or heading south toward Laguna Beach.

The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts with precision and intelligence, holding gears longer during spirited driving and upshifting smoothly during relaxed cruising. Selectable drive modes, including GT, Sport, and Corsa, allow the driver to tailor the experience from serene to exhilarating with a single input.

Inside the GranTurismo, Maserati’s commitment to Italian craftsmanship is evident in every detail. The cabin features hand-stitched leather upholstery, Alcantara headliner options, and open-pore wood or carbon fiber trim panels that elevate even the most familiar stretch of road. The GranTurismo seats four, making it a true grand tourer in the classic sense: a vehicle capable of accommodating two rear passengers on shorter trips with genuine comfort.

The 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is centered around Maserati’s latest interface, offering wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity so your preferred playlist is always at hand for a sunset drive along Corona Del Mar. A premium Sonus Faber sound system, developed in collaboration with one of Italy’s foremost audio manufacturers, transforms the cabin into a concert hall in motion.

Active driver-assistance technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a surround-view camera system, are thoughtfully integrated into the experience without undermining the vehicle’s driver-focused nature. The GranTurismo is, above all, a driver’s car, and every feature serves that fundamental purpose.

Newport Beach is one of the most scenic coastal destinations in the country, and the GranTurismo is one of the most beautiful cars in the world to experience it in. Whether you are drawn to the combustion-powered Trofeo or the Folgore’s electric serenity, our team at Maserati of Newport Beach is here to help you find the model that fits your vision of the open road.
