The analysis explores what sets this year's most expensive sports cars apart, from powertrain technology to bespoke interiors.
- The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio feature a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 "Nettuno" engine, a version of the powertrain found in the MC20 supercar, which incorporates Formula 1-derived technology. - The high-performance Trofeo trim of the 2026 Maserati GranCabrio boasts 542 horsepower, a top speed of 196 mph, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.4 seconds. - Alongside the V6 models, both the GranTurismo and GranCabrio are available in an all-electric "Folgore" version, which produces 761 horsepower and can accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. - The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo starts at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of approximately $147,495 for the base Modena trim, which is equipped with a 483-horsepower engine. - As a point of comparison, the GranCabrio's standard 483-horsepower V6 engine and all-wheel-drive system offer a higher base performance than the Mercedes-AMG SL Roadster. - Drivers can adjust the vehicle's dynamics through four different driving modes: Comfort, GT, Sport, and the track-oriented Corsa mode, which also utilizes Launch Control for maximum acceleration. - The interior features a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather upholstery, with optional packages that add features like a heads-up display, ventilated front seats, and a surround-view camera.
