Detailed item info Model Overview The GranTurismo Coupe and Convertible include a 433-horsepower, 4.7L hand-built V8 engine, combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new GranTurismo MC and Sport Convertible models get more power, from a special version of the brand' s 4.7L V8 engine, making 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. The MC can get to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 185 mph. All U.S. versions of the GranTurismo come with a 6-speed automatic transmission with both manual and sport modes, with the latter opening up baffling in the exhaust system for a louder, more baritone note during acceleration. Sport mode also reduces shift times by about 50 percent. Most GranTurismo models get an adjustable Skyhook air suspension that combines reasonably good ride comfort with the firmness and response of a performance car. Instead of the Skyhook adjustable air suspension, the MC gets a conventional suspension that in effect has firmer springs, as well as a thicker front anti-roll bar. Inside, the MC also gets larger shift paddles alongside the steering wheelThe MC also gets special front and rear fascias and aero bodywork (reducing downforce at high speed), wider fenders, and a unique hood. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a sport exhaust, 20-inch wheels with custom-developed Pirelli tires. The GranTurismo Convertible (GranCabrio) has nearly the same interior arrangement as the GranTurismo Coupe, but with a canvas soft top that can be opened automatically in just 24 seconds.
