Maserati is celebrating the centenary of the Trident logo in 2026. Although Maserati was founded in 1914, it wasn’t until 1926 that the Trident logo first appeared. And to honour ‘100 Years of the Trident’, the Italian automaker has handed the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale a selection of updates.

The revised GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale adopt new front bumpers, which feature reshaped lower air intakes for improved cooling. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio have also gained a central front splitter to optimise downforce. Inside, the Italian automaker has fitted a new racing-inspired octagonal steering wheel. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and head-up display feature fresh graphics. A driver monitoring system is now standard in the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

As a reminder, the coupé and cabriolet are available in three derivatives: Modena, Trofeo and Folgore. Both the Modena and Trofeo are powered by the Modena manufacturer’s ‘Nettuno’ 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6. In Modena trim, the latter unit churns out 360 kW and 650 N.m of torque. The Trofeo boasts a 29 kW increase in power compared to the pre-facelifted model – now producing 434 kW, with torque remaining unchanged.

The Folgore is underpinned by 800 V electric architecture incorporating a single front-mounted electric motor and a duo of e-motors at the rear. The all-wheel-drive electric setup is mated with a 92.5 kWh (gross) battery pack. Over 883 kW is on tap, with 559 kW continuously available. Maserati has devised a new energy management algorithm to increase this EV’s range to over 540 km. The all-electric GranTurismo and GranCabrio have top speeds of 325 km/h and 290 km/h, respectively.

New to the Grecale range is the ‘Nettuno’ V6, offered in Modena and Trofeo specification. In 287 kW and 499 N.m state of tune, this Italian SUV can reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.8 seconds, on to a top speed of 285 km/h, Maserati claims. Power is delivered to all four corners. In Folgore guise, which features 400 V electric architecture, power is rated at 404 kW, with range having improved thanks to a new ‘Air Grill Shutter’ system and better airflow over the front bumper and underbody.
