In recent months, Maserati revealed a new small SUV in the form of the Grecale and, at the other end of the price spectrum, the beautiful MC20 Cielo. If neither of these vehicles pander to your tastes, the all-new Maserati GranTurismo might just do the trick. This is a slinky grand tourer coupe with curves in all the right places and a tuneful gas engine under the long hood. It will even spawn an all-electric version using the Folgore name. With no more Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe to worry about, the new GranTurismo will provide a unique alternative to diversely talented coupes like the BMW 8 Series and Porsche 911, but with that Italian style that tends to tug harder at the heartstrings. Can the new GranTurismo appeal to the head too, though? Let's find out.
When Is The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Coming Out?
The expected release date for the Maserati GranTurismo is sometime in the second quarter of next year, while the all-electric Folgore derivative which we review separately will come after the gas models.
What’s The Price Of The 2024 GranTurismo?
The manufacturer has yet to specify the price of the 2024 Maserati GranTurismo. Don't expect it to be affordable, however. The outgoing GranTurismo carried a starting MSRP of over $130,000 in the USA, so the new one will very likely cost more than that.
Rivals will include the BMW 8 Series which costs $102,500 in M850i xDrive form. Although an excellent grand tourer, the BMW doesn't look or feel as special as its price tag suggests. The Porsche 911 will always be a threat with its blend of peerless dynamics and iconic styling; it starts at $123,000 in Carrera S guise, but even a base Carrera at $106,100 is a brilliant car. And, although it is not a fixed-roof coupe, the new Mercedes SL Roadster that begins at $137,400 is well worth a look.

For anyone still yearning for one of the quirky sedan/coupe/hatchback mashups, time is running short.
BMW noted in its full-range 2020 model year update last week that the 3 Series GT and 6 Series GT will not return.
The end of the 6 Series variants comes as no surprise as the 8 Series takes over flagship duties.
The German automaker telegraphed its intentions this past March when it noted the 3 Series GT would not receive a replacement.
Looking at the company's breadwinner models, the X3, X4, X5 and X6 are all slated to enter production this month before they start trickling into dealers across the US.
Each also costs at least $500 more than the 2019 model each replaces.
