Maserati India will launch the updated Grecale SUV, GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible on October 30. The three cars will launch in the country a little over four months after their respective global debuts. All of them get powertrain updates, subtle exterior revisions and additional features. The track-focused Maserati GT2 Stradale will also be showcased alongside the three cars.
New Maserati GranCabrio, GranTurismo: Powertrains
ICE
Both the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio continue to use the brand’s 3-litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6 engine, and depending on the variant, it develops 490hp (Modena) or 590hp (Trofeo). Notably, peak power output has gone up by 40hp in the top-spec Trofeo, thanks to an increase in turbo boost pressure with some minor modifications. Their respective 8-speed automatic gearboxes have been recalibrated for greater responsiveness.
EV
The electric-only Folgore versions of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio retain their 92.5kWh battery, along with a trio of motors – two at the back and one at the front. While the combined output remains 761hp for both, Maserati engineers have been able to increase the claimed range by 90km to 540km. This was achieved by adding a system that disconnects the front motor when not required, thereby reducing energy consumption. The GranTurismo Folgore reaches a top speed of 325kph, while the GranCabrio Folgore maxes out at 290kph.
All versions are equipped with all-wheel drive and air suspension as standard. Maserati has also given the two models a new ‘Country’ drive mode for use on rougher road surfaces, which raises the ride height by 25mm at speeds of up to 120kph.
