Compare the2025 Ferrari 12CilindriVS 2025 Maserati GranTurismo

Both the 12Cilindri and the GranTurismo have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes and daytime running lights.

The 12Cilindri comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The GranTurismo’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

The 12Cilindri’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the GranTurismo’s (unlimited vs. 50,000 miles).

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the 12Cilindri for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance.

The 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 277 more horsepower (819 vs. 542) and 21 lbs.-ft. more torque (500 vs. 479) than the GranTurismo Trofeo’s standard 3.0 turbo V6.

The 12Cilindri has 5.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the GranTurismo (24.3 vs. 18.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the 12Cilindri’s brake rotors are larger than those on the GranTurismo:

The 12Cilindri has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The GranTurismo doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction, the 12Cilindri has larger tires than the GranTurismo (F:275/35R21 & R:315/35R21 vs. F:265/30R20 & R:295/30R21).

The 12Cilindri is 8.9 inches shorter than the GranTurismo Modena, making the 12Cilindri easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The 12Cilindri’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The GranTurismo doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

The 12Cilindri has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the GranTurismo.
