With the all-new GranTurismo out of the way, subsequent to last year’s unveiling, Maserati can now focus on the development of its open-top sibling. The GranCabrio has been spied testing multiple times, and in this instance, it was the zero-emission variant, dubbed the Folgore, that became the focus of the camera lens.
Retaining the same sleek proportions of its fixed-roof sibling, the new Maserati GranCabrio will come with a rag top that will be stowed away at the push of a button in a special compartment behind the seats. The pricey hair blower on wheels will launch with gasoline and electric powertrains, and we have no reason to believe that any horses will be missing or will be added to the stable compared to what the GranTurismo has to offer.
In the case of the GranTurismo Folgore, you are looking at a neck-snapping 751 hp and no less than 1,350 Nm of torque generated by the dual electric motors. The GranTurismo Folgore needs only 2.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, yet the weight penalty of the GranCabrio will probably add a tenth or so to the sprint time. At 320 km/h, top speed in the coupe is identical to that of the Trofeo, and it is likely that the convertible will be a bit slower.
The trident brand has already confirmed that the Maserati GranCabrio will launch later this year.
