TCC’s Bottom Line

The Maserati GranTurismo looks equally good with a fixed or convertible roof and offers a Ferrari-built V-8 for those who want similar power in a different Italian wrapper.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is the last of the current line, but it still promises to be a top-level super sports car.

TCC Likes

TCC Dislikes

Automatic-only
Heavy, long car that feels it
Small trunk

Tight cabin
Trunk is shallow, can get hot
Gas mileage unimpressive even for performance
