Maserati has unveiled updates to three of its most significant models — the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale SUV — in a year that carries particular symbolic weight for the Italian marque. 2026 marks the centenary of the iconic Trident logo, as well as the centenary of Maserati’s first ever racing victory, achieved by Alfieri Maserati at the wheel of the Tipo 26 at the 1926 Targa Florio. The new range is positioned as both a commercial and cultural milestone, arriving with updated design, revised powertrains, and a significantly expanded digital customer experience.
Santo Ficili, Alfa Romeo CEO and Maserati COO, framed the launch as a reaffirmation of the brand’s identity. He described the new Trident range as strengthening the distinctive quality that has always defined the marque — Italian Gran Turismo, where design, elegance, performance and masterful craftsmanship meet in a balance that is never ostentatious, yet always performance-oriented. He added that Maserati’s strategy spans both the continued development of iconic combustion powertrains such as the V6 Nettuno and the evolution of the Folgore electric range, with a technological approach aligned with what its customers actually want.
The design direction for all three models traces back to the MCXtrema, Maserati’s track-only concept car, which allowed the brand to experiment with a more horizontal, sharper, and more aggressive front end. That language was subsequently applied to the GT2 Stradale and refined further on the MCPURA before being brought to the road-going range. The result is a family of vehicles with a more cohesive and assertive visual identity than before.
The GranTurismo and GranCabrio receive the most comprehensive update. The 3.0-litre V6 Nettuno engine, which draws on Formula 1-derived pre-chamber combustion technology patented by Maserati, now produces 590 horsepower in Trofeo specification — an increase of 40 horsepower over the outgoing version — with torque of 650 Nm and a top speed exceeding 320 km/h. The engine calibration and transmission have been recalibrated for sharper throttle response, while a new Sportivo exhaust system, standard on the Trofeo, delivers what Maserati describes as an unprecedented acoustic experience. Both models seat four adults properly and are available with all-wheel drive and air spring suspension with adjustable height and damping as standard across the range.
The Folgore electric variant remains the most technically ambitious member of the family. The GranTurismo Folgore uses an 800-volt architecture with three electric motors — one at the front and two decoupled units at the rear — delivering 760 horsepower continuously and more than 1,200 horsepower installed. Torque vectoring across the three motors is managed with surgical precision, while a new energy management algorithm extends range to more than 540 kilometres. The GranCabrio Folgore, the first fully electric open-top car in its segment, reaches 290 km/h, confirming its claim as the world’s fastest electric cabriolet.
Inside the cabin, both models receive a redesigned steering wheel with flat upper and lower sections and dark satin aluminium spokes. The Maserati Digital Clock has been updated with a metal bezel and octagonal shape, and the digital interface has been entirely redesigned, integrating a 12.3-inch central display, an 8.8-inch comfort screen, a configurable 12.2-inch instrument cluster, and a head-up display. A new driver monitoring system detecting fatigue and distraction makes its debut across both models.
The Grecale, first launched in 2022, receives its most significant update since entering production. The front end has been redesigned with a lower, more horizontal architecture that echoes the shark-nose language of the MCPURA, and the cabin has been refreshed at all major contact points. The headline powertrain addition is a new 390-horsepower V6 Nettuno, which Maserati claims achieves the highest specific output in its SUV category at 177 horsepower per litre. The Trofeo version accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches 285 km/h. The Grecale Folgore, meanwhile, benefits from a new Air Grille Shutter system and improved underbody aerodynamics that extend range by up to 53 kilometres depending on wheel specification, bringing the total to 580 kilometres.
Accompanying the model updates is the launch of a new Maserati Web Configurator — a photorealistic, real-time platform available across all devices and markets that Maserati says matches the visual quality of its dealership configurator. The tool uses a fully redesigned 3D environment and a 21:9 widescreen format to place vehicles in immersive lifestyle settings rather than neutral backgrounds, bringing the configuration process significantly closer to the experience of viewing a physical car.
All three models are produced in Italy — the GranTurismo and GranCabrio in Modena, and the Grecale in Cassino — a point Maserati emphasises as central to its identity. Leather interiors across the range are sourced from suppliers certified by the Leather Working Group, reflecting the brand’s stated commitment to more responsible luxury.
Commercial rollout across international markets begins this year, supported by a global omnichannel campaign.
