I’m here in Northern Italy, getting ready to test out Maserati’s latest convertible models – the GranCabrio Trofeo and GranCabrio Folgore electric convertible. These two cars may look alike, but they offer unique driving experiences that I can’t wait to explore. Before I take them out for a spin, I want to hear from you. What burning questions do you have about the GranCabrio Trofeo and Folgore EV? What details are you curious about as I take these Italian beauties for a drive around Da Boot?

Let’s start with some basic information about each car. First up is the GranCabrio Trofeo. This car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine that produces 542 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this car can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 196 mph. The luxury interior features rich leather and high-quality buttons, promising a comfortable and exhilarating driving experience.
On the other hand, the GranCabrio Folgore takes a different approach with three electric motors – one in the front and two in the back. With a total output of 818 horsepower (with overboost) and 996 lb-ft of torque, this electric convertible is no slouch. It’s equipped with a 92.5-kWh battery, with 83 kWh of usable capacity, and can DC fast charge thanks to its 800V architecture. If you have the courage, it can reach a top speed of 180 mph, providing an electrifying driving experience unlike any other.
Both of these cars promise an exciting drive, but I want to make sure I cover all your burning questions.
