Maserati GranCabrio revealed with an electric model to follow

Maserati has revealed the next reincarnation of its GranCabrio grand tourer.

From launch, there will be a high-performance Trofeo version, while a lesser-powered Modena version will come later. Finally, an electric Folgore version will follow.

The Trofeo model will come with Maserati’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder twin-turbocharged 542 bhp Nettuno engine- the most powerful engine ever fitted in the GranTurismo line-up. As a result, the 0-60mph time of 3.6 seconds is only 0.1 seconds down on the coupe.

Wind and road noise should be kept to a minimum, thanks to the new roof being acoustically layered. It’ll also be available in a choice of five different colours to match the exterior.

As with the coupe, the interior will feature the same high-quality tech and features as well as a twin touchscreen panel and the controls for the roof are now integrated into the infotainment system.

More details of the GranCabrio are set to follow, with the all-electric Folgore model coming soon and will be the only open-top electric GT car on sale.

Prices are yet to be revealed but expect a slight increase in the standard car’s £165,000 price tag.
