2024 Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio price up $80,000 to $120,000 for new model

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio sports cars are up to $120,000 more expensive than their predecessors which ended production more than four years ago.

After various delays, orders have now opened in Australia for the first new GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible in 17 and 14 years respectively – replacing the previous models which ended production in late 2019.

However the new Maseratis come at a significant cost, with price rises of $80,000 to $105,000 for the GranTurismo – and $120,000 for the GranCabrio – compared to equivalent predecessor models at the end of 2019.

They represent increases of up to 34 per cent to offset new engines, body structures, more modern interiors and technology, and more – as well as the changes in inflation, shipping and manufacturing costs for all new vehicles since the start of the pandemic.

The $120,000 price rise for the GranCabrio – 30 per cent of which is paid to the Federal Government as Luxury Car Tax – is almost as much as the cheapest new Maserati on sale in Australia, the $122,500 Grecale GT SUV.

The least expensive Maserati GranTurismo Modena is similarly priced to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS coupe, while the single GranCabrio variant is about $8000 cheaper than a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet.

Australian showroom arrivals of the GranTurismo are due in the third quarter of 2024 (July to September), followed by the GranCabrio (October to December), with orders open now.

An electric Folgore version of the GranTurismo is due to join the range in early 2025.

All models at launch are powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol 'Nettuno' V6 engine developed by Maserati, developing 360kW/600Nm in the GranTurismo Modena, 405kW/650Nm in the GranTurismo Trofeo, and 399kW/650Nm for the GranCabrio Trofeo.

The claimed 0-100km/h acceleration times are 3.9, 3.5 and 3.6 seconds respectively, with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Standard internationally across the range is adaptive air suspension, 380mm six-piston front and 350mm four-piston rear brakes, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, and mechanical (Modena) or electronic (Trofeo) "self-locking" rear differentials.

Inside there is a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 8.8-inch climate-control display, and 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Options include a head-up display, and a 19-speaker, 1195-watt Sonus Faber 'High Premium' 2D/3D surround sound system to replace the standard 14-speaker, 860-watt Sonus Faber 2D surround system.

A full standard feature list for the Australian market is yet to be published.

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are available to order now.
