The Epitome of Grand Touring

For enthusiasts drawn to the visceral thrill of a combustion engine, the GranTurismo Trofeo is equipped with the formidable 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, integrating Formula One-derived pre-chamber combustion technology for enhanced efficiency and power delivery. Meanwhile, the GranTurismo Folgore redefines electric luxury with its three 300-kW permanent magnet motors, delivering an astounding 760 horsepower to all four wheels. Its cutting-edge 800-volt system, inspired by Formula E advancements, optimizes energy efficiency and performance, ensuring an electrifying driving experience.
Honoring Maserati’s Legacy of Innovation
“We are honored to receive these prestigious awards from such a respected automotive authority like Car and Driver,” said General Manager of Maserati North America, Andrea Soriani. “Maserati has a well-documented history of building beautiful and desirable Grand Touring cars. The modern GranTurismo perfectly encapsulates Maserati’s core elements of elegant design, incredible performance, and unwavering dedication to Italian excellence.”
Maserati’s illustrious grand touring heritage dates back over 75 years to the iconic A6 1500, and the 2025 GranTurismo pays homage to this storied past while embracing the future of luxury mobility. Whether powered by the symphonic growl of the Nettuno V6 or the silent surge of electrification, the GranTurismo remains the ultimate expression of Italian grand touring.
