Maserati unveils the new GranCabrio Folgore Trofeo
Maserati has unveiled the all-new GranCabrio, a luxury convertible that redefines the balance between elegance, exceptional performance and open-air driving pleasure. Renowned for its refined design and powerful engines, Maserati raises the bar even higher with this new iteration of the GranCabrio, combining Italian tradition with modern innovation. Whether driving in the sun or enjoying the twisty roads, this car embodies the style and passion of Maserati in a form that is as seductive as it is dynamic. PrestigeLease was exclusively present at the launch party on 22 October at Garage Intini, Maserati’s Exclusive Distributor in Luxembourg and the Greater Region.
Exterior design: a masterpiece sculpted for performance
The Maserati GranCabrio 2024 takes up the brand’s distinctive design elements while adding contemporary touches. At first glance, its sleek lines and perfect proportions immediately caught our attention. The front grille, dominated by the emblematic trident, is wider and lower than on previous versions, offering a more aggressive and aerodynamic stance. The long, curved bonnet gives the model an imposing presence, while maintaining a fluid profile.
The sculpted lines that run the length of the body enhance not only aesthetics but also aerodynamics, minimising turbulence when the roof is lowered. In cabriolet version, the GranCabrio’s soft top folds smoothly in just 15 seconds, even at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Available in a range of colours, the fabric soft top is designed to provide exceptional acoustic insulation, ensuring optimum comfort whether the roof is open or closed.
At the rear, the boomerang-shaped LED lights, inspired by classic Maserati models, underline the car’s sporty character. The four-tailpipe exhaust system and integrated diffuser testify to the powerful performance that lies beneath this elegant body. The choice of 20 or 22 inch alloy wheels, depending on the version, adds to the visual aggression of this cabriolet.
Engine and performance: the sporty soul of the GranCabrio
Under the bonnet of the new Maserati GranCabrio lies an engine that perfectly reflects the Italian brand’s expertise in performance. The car is available with two distinct engines to satisfy lovers of power and innovation.
- Thermal version – The Nettuno V6 engine, with a displacement of 3.0 litres, is a twin-turbo that delivers an impressive 490 bhp in its standard configuration, and up to 550 bhp in a sportier version. The engine is based on Formula 1 technology developed by Maserati, including an advanced pre-chamber combustion system to maximise power while minimising fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, this cabriolet is as fast as it is refined.
- Electric version – For the first time, the GranCabrio is available in a 100% electric version, as part of Maserati’s ‘Folgore’ strategy. This electric version, equipped with a three-motor system (one motor at the front and two at the rear), offers a combined power output of over 750 bhp, with an instantaneous torque of 1,350 Nm. Thanks to a 105 kWh battery, the electric version of the GranCabrio offers a range of over 450 km in the WLTP cycle, while maintaining breathtaking performance, with a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 2.7 seconds.
Interior: refined luxury and cutting-edge technology
The interior of the new Maserati GranCabrio is a model of luxury and comfort, designed to offer a unique open-air experience. The materials used are of impeccable quality, with a blend of fine Italian leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre, creating an atmosphere that is both sporty and elegant.
The heated and ventilated bucket seats, available in a range of finishes, offer perfect ergonomic support for both long journeys and moments of sporty driving. Every detail of the interior is designed to evoke Italian craftsmanship, from the hand-stitching to the wood or polished aluminium inserts.
At the heart of the dashboard is a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen that controls the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) infotainment system. This includes full connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 3D navigation system. A customisable digital interface allows the driver to adjust vehicle settings, from driving dynamics to audio configuration.
In terms of acoustics, the Sonus Faber audio system with 12 or 19 speakers (depending on configuration) immerses passengers in crystal-clear sound, optimised for listening in a convertible. What’s more, active noise reduction ensures a quiet, immersive driving experience, even when the engine is vibrating at full power.
Technology and safety: the ultimate in innovation
The Maserati GranCabrio incorporates a series of advanced driving aids and safety technologies. These include Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control, which optimises stability and traction management in real time, guaranteeing maximum grip in all conditions. 360° cameras, automatic emergency braking systems and blind spot sensors enhance safety for both city and motorway driving.
The cabriolet also benefits from a specific driving mode, called Corsa, which modifies the chassis and suspension settings for a sportier driving experience. This mode also adjusts the exhaust note to deliver an even more intense roar, reminiscent of racing performance.
