‘This trifecta is a quintessential Italian blend of meticulous craftsmanship, cutting-edge innovation, and superior performance, tailored for automotive enthusiasts seeking retro design perfection.’ – Vaughn Lowery, President, 360 MAGAZINE
- In the year marking the centenary of the Trident logo, the Modena-based House looks ahead with a clearer direction and presents the evolution of its core models, rooted in the Italian concept of “GranTurismo”
- Refreshed designs across the range, the V6 Nettuno’s engine performance is raised to 582 hp on the GranTurismo and GranCabrio Trofeo, the 385 hp Nettuno on the new Grecale V6 and Grecale Modena V6 models debuts, and range is improved for Folgore models
The new Grecale, new GranTurismo, and new GranCabrio make their debut: three models of outstanding appeal that evolve through a strategic update, with the aim of strengthening the Brand’s positioning in the luxury segment, in the very same year that marks the centenary of the iconic Trident logo. The new range responds to customer expectations: design, elegance, performance, craftsmanship, and a human-centric approach to technology all contribute to the same idea.
Santo Ficili, Maserati COO, stated: “With the new Trident range, we are strengthening the distinctive quality that has always defined us: Italian Gran Turismo, where design, elegance, performance and masterful craftsmanship come together in a balance of elegance that is never ostentatious, yet always performance oriented. All this is made possible by the passion and dedication of our people, together with the strength of our dealer network and partners around the world, who help embody the values of the Maserati brand every day. For over 112 years, we have interpreted contemporary luxury in a distinctive way and aim to grow further in this segment, expanding our product offering and investing in the technologies that best express its character: from the development of iconic powertrains such as the V6 Nettuno to the evolution of the performance of the Folgore range, with a technological strategy aligned with the expectations of our customers.”
Today’s stylistic renewal completes a journey begun by the Maserati Centro Stile team with the MCXtrema, the track-only car that enabled the Brand to experiment with a more horizontal, sharper, and more aggressive front end. This design language was brought to the road with GT2 Stradale, refined with the MCPURA, and is now applied to the iconic GranTurismo and GranCabrio, as well as the Grecale D-SUV.
Specifically, the new GranTurismo and new GranCabrio are now also presented with a revamped exterior and an even more refined interior. Up to 582 hp of maximum power output delivered by the 3.0-L V6 Nettuno engine, a top speed of over 199 mph (GranTurismo Trofeo), 479 lb.-ft. of torque, and an unprecedented sound experience courtesy of the Sportivo exhaust, standard in North America for all internal combustion GranTurismo and GranCabrio trims.
All versions are also equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) and an air spring suspension with adjustable set-up and height standard, and offer a driving experience that can be enjoyed in complete comfort and safety for four people, fully confirming their nature as fully-fledged grand tourers, with sportiness and comfort on demand at the highest levels.
The new Grecale establishes itself as the most complete luxury SUV from the Modena-based House, capable of combining spaciousness on a par with the segment above with a more pronounced sporting character and uncompromised everyday usability. On board, authentic materials and high-level comfort are integrated with superior handling, guaranteed by versatile driving modes that adapt to every style behind the wheel. At the heart of the technical offering is the V6 Turbo engine with the highest specific output in its category, bringing with it an unmistakable sound and Formula 1-derived technology.
The new GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale are developed and produced in Italy, in Modena, and Cassino, confirming an unbreakable bond with the Belpaese and a fundamental element of the Brand’s identity. This year, Maserati celebrates both the centenary of the iconic Trident and the first racing victory in its history, achieved by Alfieri Maserati at the wheel of the legendary Tipo 26 at the 1926 Targa Florio. The new range marks a significant milestone in the year of the Trident, highlighting the common thread that has always connected Maserati’s racing cars with its road cars.
In addition, the three new models embody sustainability in every aspect of the product: the leather interiors come from suppliers certified according to Leather Working Group (LWG) standards, an organization Maserati has joined as an active member, confirming its commitment to increasingly conscious luxury. Completing the new range are Maserati Genuine Accessories, designed to enrich the driving experience and developed in harmony with each model to combine craftsmanship, innovation, and seamless integration with design and performance.
With this launch, the Brand is rolling out an omnichannel communication campaign that will accompany the commercial debut of the new models in international markets, further consolidating the Trident’s positioning as a benchmark for global automotive luxury.
In particular, alongside the debut of the new Grecale, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio, the exclusive Maserati Web Configurator is also launched: a photorealistic platform capable of delivering, in real time, an emotional vision of every configuration, on any device and in every market.
From the showroom to the web, the Maserati Customer Journey experience evolves, moving beyond the boundary between physical and digital to offer an integrated omnichannel journey with cinematic visual quality: the new online configurator now achieves the same performance as the dealership configurator, with enhanced-quality images that bring it ever closer to the real car. The vehicle thus moves away from a neutral setting to become the protagonist of an immersive experience, where Italian lifestyle is an integral part of the narrative thanks to a fully redesigned 3D environment and the new 21:9 widescreen format, which gives the images a hyper-realistic cinematic feel, enhancing the design of the cars.
New GranTurismo and New GranCabrio: the Purest Interpretation of Italian Grand Touring
The result of years of dedicated engineering and recognized by the international press for their authentic Italian driving experience, the new GranTurismo and GranCabrio evolve in the areas that most influence the feeling behind the wheel. A new calibration of the engine and transmission makes the car more responsive and rewarding, while its acoustic character has been refined with an iconic and engaging exhaust sound. Heirs to the captivating Maserati GranTurismo of the past, launched in 2007 and renewed in 2022 and 2023 respectively, they are now presented in a new light, with refinements spanning design, driving dynamics, and perceived quality on board, confirming the distinctive qualities of these two iconic Trident models.
While the GranTurismo embodies the purity of the coupé, the GranCabrio translates the same DNA into an open-air experience: four genuine seats, a fabric soft top and exceptional thermal and acoustic comfort. The Airscarf, standard on the Trofeo and Folgore trims, extends the open-air season into the cooler months. For the first time, the Fuoriserie Customization Program extends full personalization to the soft top as a Bespoke configuration. Incorporated at the end of 2025 into the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE project, the Program is structured across two levels, Catalog and Bespoke, with three collections: Corse, Futura, and Unica.
Both models are available in three versions. The entry level GranTurismo and GranCabrio 483-hp versions interpret the luxury of travel with Crio wheels, satin chrome details, and a full-grain leather cabin, featuring wood trim for GranTurismo and carbon-fiber panels for its open-top GranCabrio version. The 582 hp Trofeo version heightens sportiness with forged Pegaso wheels, exposed carbon fiber, an Alcantara headliner, E-LSD, and a sports exhaust: inside, RED leather and ICE leather, brighter and more Mediterranean in spirit, are paired with dedicated bumpers and diffusers. Lastly, the Folgore version, with 751 hp and torque vectoring, brings the family into the electric era: the GranTurismo Folgore reaches a top speed of 202 mph; the GranCabrio Folgore, the first fully electric cabriolet in its segment, reaches 180 mph, confirming its status as the fastest electric cabriolet on the road today.
In terms of styling and aerodynamics, the new front end has been completely redesigned: reshaped air intakes with slots for boundary-layer aspiration, an external air curtain developed using CFD, and a central splitter optimized to increase front downforce. At the rear, the lighting system features new clear lenses. As an option, the new Tridente wheels in gloss black, inspired by the MCPURA Cielo, widen the track by 10 mm, improving stability and precision.
Within the Fuoriserie offering, seven new exterior colors are added: Green Jupiter Matte, Blu Denim, Bronzo Lucido or Matte, Grigio Mistero, Rosso Velluto, and Oro Lirico; along with the new range of colored badges coordinated with the car’s exterior, as well as the radome and exhaust tips in new colorways. Inside, new proposals stand out in Bordeaux leather and Nude Alcantara, or Black and Tan leather, as well as the new Mahogany trim.
Inside the cabin, the new racing-inspired steering wheel stands out, with flat upper and lower sections and dark satin aluminium spokes, available in perforated leather and in the Sport version with Alcantara inserts. The Maserati Digital Clock has been renewed with a metal bezel, octagonal shape, redesigned graphics and a pop-up function for mode changes. The picture is completed by the PRND selector with three-dimensional controls in premium metal, and steering-wheel paddles with a new parking function. The digital interface, featuring completely redesigned graphics, combines a 12.3” central display, an 8.8” Comfort display, a customizable 12.2” instrument cluster and a head-up display. Making its debut is the new monitoring system that detects driver distraction and fatigue.
GranTurismo and GranCabrio Trofeo represent the most powerful expression of the range. At their heart is the V6 Nettuno, with motorsport-derived pre-chamber combustion technology, boasting 582 hp (up 40 hp compared to the prior MY), without sacrificing balance, comfort, or long-distance performance. On both models, two power configurations of the iconic Nettuno are available, 483 or 582 hp: a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine that shares patented Formula 1-derived MTC technology with MCPURA, with cylinder deactivation for efficiency and a front differential aligned with the engine to lower the center of gravity.
Folgore brings the Brand’s most advanced BEV technology into the GranTurismo world. The 800-volt system uses three motors, one at the front and two decoupled motors at the rear, for more than 751 hp continuously delivered to the wheels. The two rear motors enable surgically precise torque vectoring, while the 92.5-kWh battery adopts a “T-bone” geometry that keeps the height at just 53 in, the lowest among electric cars. AWD Disconnect is standard, transferring drive to the rear axle in 500 milliseconds through the physical disengagement of the front half-shafts. A new energy management algorithm brings the GranTurismo Folgore to a range of more than 250 miles.
The combustion-engine versions offer three settings: on the 483 hp version, the new Country mode is available (also offered on the Folgore trim) raising the ride height by 20 mm; Sport, with a more sonorous exhaust and dynamic suspension (also offered on the Trofeo trim); and GT. Corsa mode is reserved for the Trofeo trim. Folgore expands the range to five modes, adding Max Range and GT. In Sport and Corsa, Launch Control is available across the entire range; in Corsa, Folgore expresses its most extreme nature, with torque vectoring across the three motors and a Performance Optimizer capable of delivering up to 10% more power.
New Grecale: The Grand Touring Spirit in the SUV World
Presented in April 2022 and marketed from 2023, Maserati Grecale is the luxury D-SUV that opened up a new category for the Brand, evolving consistently through targeted technical and aesthetic updates. The new Grecale now features a more pronounced and lower front fascia, with a horizontal construction that gives it a wider, lower appearance, and a new expressive intent. Inside the cabin, all contact points between driver and car have been renewed. The 385-hp V6 Nettuno engine debuts with the new entry level Grecale V6 model (already present on the Modena V6 trim), with a specific calibration that ensures generous torque at low revs and smooth power delivery, +32% compared with former the 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine at 2,000 rpms, as well as an exhilarating progression all the way to the limiter. Meanwhile, Grecale Folgore confirms a maximum range from 239 to 268 miles introduced on the previous MY26 generation, together with the AWD Disconnect system.
Today, thanks to aerodynamic refinements, new energy management algorithms, and more efficient tires, range improves by 6 miles with the 20” wheels and by as much as 33 miles with the 21” wheels.
Grecale combines versatility, everyday usability, and a distinctive sporting character, confirming its best-in-class status for roominess and comfort in the segment. On the design front, the front bumpers and grilles are new, for both the ICE and Folgore versions: the bumper with an even more pronounced “shark-nose” architecture, in line with MCPURA, integrates shaped side air curtains to channel airflow along the wheel arch. Completing the profile are two new wheels, the 20” Asteria and the 21” Crono, together with the new Grigio Lamiera Shiny from the Fuoriserie Customization Program. Inside, the new steering wheel features an unprecedented octagonal geometry and a six o’clock spoke, in perforated leather or Alcantara, standard on the Trofeo trim; the new digital clock has a mineral crystal dial and metal bezel that echoes the shape of the steering wheel; and the redesigned PRND selector features capacitive haptic technology, real metal buttons, and integrated backlighting.
Build quality is expressed through the extensive use of authentic materials, including wood, carbon fiber and leather, and through dynamic behaviors that, via the drive mode selector, offer four driving modes: GT, Off-Road, Sport, and Corsa, exclusive to Trofeo, with Max Range added for Folgore. Among its high-value features are an air suspension, the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) system with a 12.3” Ultra HD display, a reconfigurable head-up display, and a Sonus faber Audio System, with up to 21 speakers and 1,285 W, already a winner of the EISA Award.
Within the powertrain range, the V6 Turbo derived from the Nettuno engine stands out. Equipped with F1-derived pre-chamber technology covered by a Maserati patent, it achieves the highest specific output in its category: the Trofeo V6 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 177 mph. An all-new addition is the new 385 hp Grecale V6, which follows the recently launched Modena V6 trim for North America.
Grecale Folgore improves its range thanks to the new AGS “Air Grille Shutter” system and improved airflow over the front bumper and underbody.
The North American range now consists of four versions, three V6-powered models: Grecale V6, Grecale Modena V6, and Grecale Trofeo, along with the fully electric Grecale Folgore. A journey on board Grecale combines extraordinary handling with refined dynamic and acoustic comfort, from laminated glass to a dedicated sound design that elevates the overall experience.
