Compare the2026 Maserati GranTurismoVS 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The GranTurismo has standard Rear Emergency Braking that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

The GranTurismo has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The GranTurismo offers an optional Surround View Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The 12Cilindri only offers a rear monitor.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the GranTurismo’s optional Rear Cross Path uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The GranTurismo’s optional driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the GranTurismo and the 12Cilindri have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available lane departure warning systems and blind spot warning systems.

The GranTurismo comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The 12Cilindri’s 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

The GranTurismo’s corrosion warranty is 1 year longer than the 12Cilindri’s (4 vs. 3 years).

There are over 2 times as many Maserati dealers as there are Ferrari dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the GranTurismo’s warranty.

The 12Cilindri’s redline is at 9500 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The GranTurismo has a 8000 RPM redline.

The GranTurismo Foglore’s standard electric motors produces 495 lbs.-ft. more torque (995 vs. 500) than the 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12.

On the EPA test cycle the GranTurismo Foglore running on electricity gets better mileage than the 12Cilindri Coupe (85 city/81 hwy MPGe vs. 12 city/19 hwy).

On the EPA test cycle the GranTurismo running its gasoline engine gets better mileage than the 12Cilindri Coupe:

The GranTurismo Foglore can travel with zero emissions for 233 miles. The 12Cilindri can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the GranTurismo’s fuel efficiency. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the GranTurismo Foglore’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

All wheel drive, available in the GranTurismo, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Ferrari 12Cilindri is not available with all wheel drive.

The GranTurismo’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the 12Cilindri’s 35 series tires.

The front and rear suspension of the GranTurismo uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the 12Cilindri, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The GranTurismo has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The GranTurismo’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GranTurismo’s wheelbase is 9 inches longer than on the 12Cilindri (115.3 inches vs. 106.3 inches).

The front grille of the GranTurismo uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The GranTurismo has standard seating for 4 passengers; the 12Cilindri can only carry 2.

The GranTurismo has a much larger trunk than the 12Cilindri Coupe (10.9 vs. 9.5 cubic feet).

To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the GranTurismo’s available trunk can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its liftgate, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.

The GranTurismo offers a remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The GranTurismo offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, tachometer, navigation instruction and driver assistance information readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The GranTurismo’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The 12Cilindri’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the GranTurismo to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the GranTurismo offers optional cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer cornering lights. The GranTurismo also offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

The GranTurismo’s standard sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. Visors that swivel front-to-side cost extra on the 12Cilindri.

The GranTurismo’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The 12Cilindri’s power mirror controls are on the dash where they are possibly hidden by the steering wheel and are awkward to manipulate.

On extremely cold winter days, the GranTurismo’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The 12Cilindri doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.
