GranCabrio
At its launch, the spotlight shines on the GranCabrio Trofeo, equipped with the formidable Nettuno engine. This 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 542 horsepower, is a reflection of Maserati’s commitment to high performance, nestled at the core of the Trident’s lineup.

The GranCabrio’s design ethos seamlessly blends the performance of the Nettuno engine with the comfort expected from a grand tourer. This combination is now elevated with the introduction of an open-top experience. This aims to enhance the journey’s beauty and the car’s distinguished characteristics.

The convertible’s fabric roof, designed to occupy minimal trunk space, retracts in a swift 14 seconds, even at speeds up to 50 km/h. This feature ensures that the GranCabrio remains practical for four passengers, making it a versatile choice for both solo drives and journeys shared with companions.
The GranCabrio’s design becomes even more striking when the roof is folded down. This allows the engine’s roar and the connection with the surrounding landscape to intensify. This experience harks back to over 60 years of Maserati’s convertible heritage, beginning with the 3500 GT’s debut at the 1959 Geneva Motor Show.

The convertible’s “open-air experience” is complemented by advanced thermal and acoustic comforts. With a soft top available in five colors, controlled via a central display, the GranCabrio offers a personalized touch to the driving experience. It comes equipped with a neck warmer and an optional wind stopper, addressing the practical aspects of open-air driving without sacrificing the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency.
In creating the GranCabrio, Maserati has once again demonstrated its ability to balance efficiency with beauty, staying true to its identity while pushing the boundaries of luxury and technology. The result is a vehicle that not only respects the brand’s rich history but also sets new standards in the luxury convertible market.
