Maserati GRANTURISMO

Country of production

The current-generation Maserati GranTurismo is produced in Italy. After initial production in Turin (Mirafiori), Maserati announced that GranTurismo and GranCabrio production returned to Modena (Viale Ciro Menotti plant) starting in Q4 2025, effectively bringing the model line back to Maserati’s historical home in the Motor Valley.

Short description

The GranTurismo is Maserati’s 2+2 grand tourer coupé: long-bonnet proportions, restrained Italian surfacing, and an interior that targets “everyday GT” usability rather than pure track minimalism. On the road it prioritizes high-speed stability, ride comfort, and refinement, with a distinctly sporty calibration when pushed—especially in Trofeo form. The Folgore adds an electric powertrain without abandoning the traditional GT brief: rapid cross-country pace, strong isolation, and meaningful long-leg capability.

Powertrain and performance

Charging (Folgore)

• AC charging: up to 22 kW

• DC fast charging: up to 270 kW (800 V architecture)

• Typical fast-charge reference: 20–80% in ~18 minutes (conditions and charger dependent)

Dimensions and capacity

Main trims and indicative pricing 

(Indicative on-the-road pricing: may vary materially with options, dealer policies, promotions, and registration/fees.)

Maintenance and early service (indicative costs)

(Estimates for a luxury GT; wide variability by dealer network, city, driving style, and service packages.)

Pros

• Strong GT positioning: comfort, stability, and refinement remain central, even in high-output versions.

• Clear step-up logic: V6 490 as the balanced all-rounder, Trofeo for maximum ICE character, Folgore for extreme acceleration.

• Folgore charging performance (22 kW AC / up to 270 kW DC) is competitive for the segment.

• Usable 2+2 layout and meaningful trunk volume for a performance coupé.

Cons

• Pricing and options can escalate quickly; reaching a “complete” spec can be expensive.

• Weight is substantial—especially Folgore—and can be felt in repeated high-load driving.

• Real-world energy/fuel consumption is sensitive to speed; this is a GT that rewards restraint if range is a priority.

• Rear seats remain best suited to shorter trips or smaller passengers, as expected in the class.

In summary

The Maserati GranTurismo is a modern interpretation of the traditional Italian GT: fast, refined, and designed to cover distance with composure rather than chasing the sharpest possible track persona. The V6 490 is the most rational daily GT choice, Trofeo is the emotional, higher-intensity alternative, and Folgore delivers flagship straight-line performance with credible charging capability—while keeping the four-seat grand touring concept intact.

Verdict — Maserati GranTurismo (Model year 2025)

Premium 2+2 grand tourer coupé · Trims: Modena 3.0L twin-turbo V6 “Nettuno” 490 hp, Trofeo 3.0L twin-turbo V6 550 hp · Folgore full-electric tri-motor up to 560 kW (with MaxBoost up to 610 kW) · AWD across the range · 8-speed automatic (V6 models) · 0–100 km/h from 3.9 s (Modena) to 3.5 s (Trofeo) · 0–100 km/h 2.7 s (Folgore) · Top speed up to 325 km/h (Folgore)

The Maserati GranTurismo is a modern interpretation of the classic Italian GT formula: a high-speed, long-distance coupé designed to blend comfort, style, and real performance without forcing the compromises of a track-first sports car. The range is cleanly positioned: Modena as the balanced daily-plus-GT choice, Trofeo as the most aggressive V6 Nettuno expression, and Folgore as the flagship for outright acceleration and electric-era torque delivery.

Inside, the cockpit follows a luxury-sport layout anchored by a fully digital HMI: a large central infotainment screen supported by a secondary comfort/climate interface, plus a digital driver display. Materials, stitching, and optional finishes support the premium positioning, while the 2+2 packaging remains true to the segment: front seats are genuinely long-trip comfortable, rear seating is best considered occasional or for shorter passengers, with practicality driven more by flexibility than by true four-adult comfort.

Key technical points:

• Powertrains (ICE): 3.0L twin-turbo V6 “Nettuno” in two outputs, 490 hp (Modena) and 550 hp (Trofeo).

• Powertrain (EV): Folgore tri-motor layout with an 800 V architecture; nominal battery 92.5 kWh (83 kWh usable).

• Performance: Modena 0–100 km/h 3.9 s and 302 km/h; Trofeo 3.5 s and 320 km/h; Folgore 2.7 s and 325 km/h.

• Drivetrain: AWD throughout; V6 models use an 8-speed automatic, while Folgore manages torque distribution through the electric powertrain.

• Charging (Folgore): DC fast charge up to 270 kW; AC charging up to 22 kW (Type 2), with market-dependent options shown in the technical data.

Who it is for

Drivers looking for a true Italian grand tourer: a coupé that can cover distance quickly and comfortably, with clear brand identity and performance that ranges from “more than enough” (Modena) to genuinely supercar-quick (Trofeo/Folgore). Folgore is best suited to those who want an electric flagship with immediate response and very high peak capability, rather than an efficiency-first EV.

Who should consider alternatives

If your priority is frequent track use, the lightest possible chassis feel, or a cost-per-kilometre strategy (fuel or energy), you may be better served by lighter, more track-oriented coupés or by EVs designed primarily around range/efficiency rather than peak output.

Recommended configuration

• Modena for the best all-around GT balance: it is already extremely quick, easier to use daily than the top trims, and aligns most naturally with the GranTurismo’s core mission (fast, refined travel). Specify a full driver-assistance suite (where offered), a comfort-oriented wheel/tire choice, and premium seating/audio upgrades.

• Choose Folgore if you want the most advanced drivetrain concept in the lineup (800 V architecture, tri-motor torque management) and the strongest acceleration, with the practical requirement of planning around high-power charging availability in your typical routes.
