AutoMotions

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 guise, 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 Air neck warmer, standard on Trofeo and Folgore, extends the open-air season into the cooler months. For the first time, the Fuoriserie programme extends full personalisation to the soft top as a Bespoke configuration. Incorporated at the end of 2025 into the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE project, the programme is structured across two levels, Catalog and Bespoke, with three collections: Corse, Futura and Unica.  Both models are available in three versions. The 490-hp version interprets the luxury of travel with Crio wheels, satin chrome details and a full-grain leather cabin, featuring wood panels for GranTurismo and carbon-fibre panels for its open-top version, GranCabrio. The 590-hp Trofeo heightens the sporting character with forged Pegaso wheels, exposed carbon fibre, an Alcantara headliner, E-LSD and sports exhaust: inside, RED leather and ICE leather, brighter and more Mediterranean in spirit, are paired with dedicated bumpers and diffuser. Lastly, the Folgore, with 760 hp and torque vectoring, brings the family into the electric era: the GranTurismo Folgore reaches 325 km/h; the GranCabrio Folgore, the first fully electric cabriolet in its segment, reaches 290 km/h, confirming its status as the fastest electric cabriolet on the road.

00:11Today is a super important day for us at Maserati, at Centrostile Maserati, because we're completing

00:17an important journey, which is the renewal of the phase of our lineup. This journey actually

00:22begun with the MC Extrema, a track-only car, which allowed us to experiment, try new things,

00:28and in that case we evolved our phase to something more horizontal, more sharp, more aggressive.

00:36We brought it onto the road with the GT2 Stradale, refined it further with the MC Pura, and now

00:41we're applying that philosophy to our flagship model, the Gran Turismo and the Gran Cabrio.

00:47And as you can see behind me, the effect that has on the car. The car overall remains elegant,

00:53but now we're adding this intent by adding the sharp horizontal construction in the front. But

01:00also by including the intercooler and the overall graphic of the front grille, the car appears wider,

01:05with better stands and overall better proportions. On the side of the Gran Cabrio you'll see also a new

01:11set of wheels. And then when you look at the rear of the car, you also find a fresh set

01:16of rear lights

01:17with a clear lens that will add modernity to the rear end. On the inside of both cars, Gran Cabrio

01:24and Gran Turismo, we updated important crucial elements that the driver will always interact

01:30with when he or she drives the car. The steering wheel, the clock, the PRND. Those elements our

01:36head of engineering will explain to you in just a moment. Lastly, one comment about colors and material.

01:42We're here in Italy and we're from Italy, so colors are such an important element in everything we do.

01:50Here behind me you see this new launch color, the green Jupiter matte and here the blue denim. Two

01:56colors I'm super excited about to see on this beautiful car. But also on the interior, of course,

02:01we're going to continue with our offering of finest leathers, but also we're going to continue with the

02:06story of Equinil, a recycled nylon enhanced with laser edge graphics. So today we complete the journey

02:16and later maybe even on the Grecale to introduce to you the completion of the new face for Maserati.

02:23So in combination with this beautiful elegant and timeless design of the body, but now combined with

02:30this new face that combines elegance with intent, the new colors, the new details interior and exterior.

02:37I'm super excited about the future of our Gran Cabrio and Gran Turismo.
