Renewed design, a V6 Nettuno up to 590 hp and Folgore models with more range: the new Maseratis celebrate the logo’s centenary with a clear idea of Italian Gran Turismo

In 1926, Alfieri Maserati won the Targa Florio at the wheel of the Tipo 26, the marque’s first competition victory. It was also the first car to carry the Trident, the emblem designed by his brother Mario and inspired by Giambologna’s Neptune, the statue on the fountain in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna, where the company was founded in 1914. A hundred years on, with the new GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale, the Modena-based house has a clear aim: to strengthen its position in luxury by returning to what has always defined it.

Presenting the three new cars in Modena in June 2026, Santo Ficili, Maserati’s Chief Operating Officer, spoke of an Italian Gran Turismo in which design, elegance, performance and craftsmanship come together in a single balance.

A lower nose, a language with a long history

The new look is not a sudden turn. Maserati’s Centro Stile first tested a more horizontal, more aggressive front end on the MCXtrema, the track-only car built in just 62 units. It brought it to the road with the GT2 Stradale, refined it with the MCPURA, and now applies it to GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale. Redesigned air intakes, an external air curtain developed through CFD, a central splitter for more front downforce, and rear lights with clear lenses. The new gloss black Tridente wheels, inspired by the MCPURA Cielo, widen the track by 10 mm.

GranTurismo and GranCabrio, coupé and open sky

At the heart of the range is the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno, with pre-chamber combustion technology derived from Formula 1. In Trofeo form it rises to 590 hp, 40 more than before, with a top speed above 320 km/h and 650 Nm of torque, accompanied by a sports exhaust as standard. All-wheel drive and air suspension are standard on every version, for four genuinely comfortable seats.

The GranCabrio carries the same character into the open air, with a fabric roof and a standard neck warmer on Trofeo and Folgore. For the first time, the Fuoriserie programme allows the roof to be customised too, in the “Bespoke” configuration.

The Folgore takes the GranTurismo into the electric era: an 800-volt system, three motors, over 1,200 hp installed and 760 hp continuous, a 92.5 kWh battery just 1,353 mm high and more than 540 km of range. The GranTurismo Folgore reaches 325 km/h. The GranCabrio Folgore reaches 290 km/h and, according to the brand, is the fastest electric convertible on the road.

Inside, a new sporty steering wheel, the renewed octagonal digital clock, a PRND selector with three-dimensional metal controls, 12.3-inch displays and a system that detects driver distraction and fatigue. Seven new Fuoriserie exterior colours join the palette.

Maserati Grecale Folgore

Grecale, the GT spirit in SUV form

The Grecale, the brand’s luxury SUV, changes with a lower, wider front end, a more pronounced “shark nose” in line with the MCPURA, and two new 20 and 21-inch wheels. The 390 hp V6 Nettuno debuts, offering 32% more low-rev torque than the two-litre at 2,000 rpm, but it will not be sold in Europe. The 530 hp Trofeo V6, with the highest specific output in its class (177 hp per litre), goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches 285 km/h.

The 550 hp Folgore confirms its 580 km of range and gains up to 53 km with 21-inch wheels, thanks to aerodynamics, new energy management algorithms and more efficient tyres. Inside, an octagonal steering wheel, a new digital clock with mineral glass, a PRND selector with haptic touch technology and a Sonus faber system with 21 speakers and 1,285 W, already an EISA award winner.

Made in Italy, made to measure

All three cars are developed and built in Italy, in Modena and Cassino. Maserati, now present in more than 70 markets, builds its offer on a family that also includes the MCPURA, MCPURA Cielo and GT2 Stradale. Three pillars support it: the Fuoriserie customisation programme, the Classiche activities and the racing commitment of Maserati Corse. Leather interiors come from suppliers certified by the Leather Working Group, in line with a more responsible luxury.

The launch also brings the new photorealistic Web Configurator, with redesigned 3D environments and a 21:9 panoramic format, bringing the quality of the dealership configurator online. The brand’s mission remains to write the future of mobility in luxury by listening to what its customers ask for.
