2018 MASERATI GRANTURISMO

If you've been searching for an exotic Italian convertible that turns heads from Seattle to Tacoma, your search ends here. This 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Sport Convertible is available now at NORTH WEST AUTO EMPIRE in Kent, Washington — a stunning gray drop-top with just 34,580 miles, representing extraordinary value for a hand-crafted GT car of this caliber. Few vehicles on the road today deliver this combination of Ferrari-derived power, open-air theater, and timeless Italian design.

About This 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Sport Convertible

With only 34,580 miles on the odometer, this 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Sport Convertible is barely broken in by exotic car standards. The GranTurismo was produced in limited numbers each year, making every example genuinely rare — and finding a low-mileage Sport Convertible in the Pacific Northwest is a rare opportunity indeed. The gray exterior is a sophisticated, understated choice that lets the car's long hood, flowing roofline, and muscular rear haunches speak for themselves. This is a two-door convertible built for the kind of driver who appreciates craftsmanship as much as performance.

2018 Maserati GranTurismo Performance and Engine

Ferrari-Derived 4.7-Liter V8 Power

At the heart of this GranTurismo Sport is a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V8 engine — an engine co-developed with Ferrari and assembled in Maranello. It produces 454 horsepower and an intoxicating exhaust note that is simply unmistakable at full throttle. Unlike turbocharged exotics, this V8 delivers linear, progressive power across the entire rev range, rewarding drivers who enjoy working through the gears and feeling every revolution.

6-Speed MC Automatic with Sportshift

Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring Sportshift paddle-shift capability, this GranTurismo puts full control at your fingertips. Rear-wheel drive keeps the driving experience pure and engaging, delivering the kind of dynamic balance that makes canyon roads and open highways equally satisfying. The Sport trim adds sharper throttle mapping and a more aggressive exhaust voice compared to the standard GranTurismo.

Maserati GranTurismo Features and Interior

Sport Trim Appointments

The GranTurismo Sport Convertible elevates every detail inside and out. Expect sport-tuned suspension, a sport-specific front bumper and fascia, and upgraded brake components that give the car a more purposeful stance. Inside, the cabin is hand-stitched Italian leather throughout — a genuinely bespoke environment where every surface has been considered. The sport seats provide excellent lateral support without sacrificing the long-distance comfort this grand tourer was designed to deliver.

The convertible roof operates quickly and elegantly, lowering in approximately 28 seconds while the car is moving at low speed. Open or closed, the cabin remains refined, with wind buffeting managed through thoughtful aerodynamic engineering. Technology features include the Maserati infotainment system, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, and the instrument cluster that frames the iconic Maserati clock — a signature GranTurismo detail since the model's debut.

Maserati GranTurismo Reliability and Ownership

The GranTurismo has one of the longest production runs of any modern exotic — introduced in 2007 and refined through 2019 — which speaks directly to its mechanical maturity. By the 2018 model year, any early-generation issues had been thoroughly resolved, and the 4.7-liter V8 is widely regarded as one of the most durable engines Maserati has ever produced. Owners consistently praise the drivetrain's long-term reliability when the car is properly maintained with scheduled service intervals.

As with any exotic vehicle, ownership costs should be understood upfront. Maserati service intervals are typically around 12,000 miles, and using a qualified Maserati specialist or authorized service center is important. With only 34,580 miles, this example has plenty of life ahead, and many GranTurismo owners report trouble-free driving well beyond 80,000 miles when maintenance is kept current. This is not a fragile exotic — it's a well-engineered grand tourer built to be driven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2018 Maserati GranTurismo a good buy?

Yes — for the right buyer. The 2018 GranTurismo Sport Convertible offers Ferrari-derived V8 performance, genuine Italian craftsmanship, and a driving experience that very few vehicles at any price can match. By 2018, the car had benefited from over a decade of refinement, making it one of the most sorted versions of this generation. For buyers who want exotic character without the extreme maintenance demands of some European competitors, the GranTurismo is an exceptional choice.

How many miles is too many on a used Maserati GranTurismo?

The 4.7-liter V8 in the GranTurismo is known for durability, and many well-maintained examples run strong past 80,000 to 100,000 miles. At just 34,580 miles, this 2018 example is well within the range where you can expect years of enjoyable, trouble-free driving — provided maintenance records are current and the car has been properly cared for.

What does the GranTurismo Sport trim include over the standard model?

The Sport trim adds a sport-tuned suspension setup, a more aggressive front fascia, upgraded Brembo braking components, and a revised exhaust calibration that produces a sharper, more vocal exhaust note. Inside, Sport models typically feature enhanced seat bolstering and sport-specific trim options. It's the driver-focused configuration in the GranTurismo lineup.

Is the Maserati GranTurismo convertible practical for everyday use?

The GranTurismo Convertible was designed as a grand tourer — meaning it's genuinely comfortable for longer drives while still delivering exciting performance. The rear seats are tight for adults on longer trips but functional for shorter journeys. The trunk offers reasonable space for weekend travel. As a daily driver in mild weather, it performs admirably. In the Pacific Northwest, the heated seats and quick-closing roof make it usable well beyond the summer months.

Does the GranTurismo Sport hold its value well?

The GranTurismo has depreciated significantly from its original MSRP, which is actually excellent news for buyers today — you're getting a hand-built, Ferrari-engined exotic at a fraction of new pricing. Low-mileage Sport Convertible examples in good condition tend to hold their remaining value relatively well compared to higher-mileage alternatives, particularly as production of this generation has ended and the cars become increasingly collectible.
