Maserati GranTurismo Launched At Rs 2.72 Crore In All-Electric Folgore Variant
Maserati has launched the second-generation GranTurismo in India with prices starting at Rs 2.72 crore for the Modena variant and Rs 2.90 crore for the top-rung Trofeo. Both variants of the 2+2, two-door coupe utilise the same 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine. The all-electric GranTurismo Folgore will arrive sometime in 2025 with various cosmetic and feature differences. New GranTurismo Modena makes 490hp with the V6 engine making 550hp, and gets sportier exterior, interior.
Maserati GranTurismo Modena’s V6 engine makes 490hp and 600Nm, with a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.9 seconds. It looks a little more staid than the more powerful Trofeo variant, but 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels are standard on both models. The standard equipment includes a 12.2-inch digital-dial display behind the steering wheel, a 12.3-inch central infotainment screen and another 8.8-inch touchscreen below that for the climate controls. It gets a digital clock, and an optional head-up display and Sonus fabre audio system.
The GranTurismo Trofeo gets a higher state of tune: 550hp and 650Nm, and a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.5 seconds. The Trofeo also gets AWD as standard with aggressive bumpers, new-design 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloys, various carbon-fibre elements on the outside, and different upholstery and sportier highlights in the cabin tell the Trofeo apart from the Modena.
There are several GranTurismo rivals in India like the GranTurismo competes with other GTs such as the BMW M8 Competition (Rs 2.44 crore), the Ferrari Roma (Rs 3.76 crore) and the Aston Martin DB12 (Rs 4.59 crore) in India.
The cabin boasts modern-day equipment with capacitive touch controls, swaps old physical dials and switches with digital screen instead of the analogue watch on the dashboard. There is a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an additional 8.8-inch touchscreen for various controls.
The second-gen Granturismo was revealed in late 2022 after the long-run of the first model. Despite looking similar to its predecessor, Maserati has completely changed the new model, which shares its underpinnings with the Grecale alongside some design elements. The structure of the GT uses a mixed-metal construction that is both lighter and stiffer than the previous model. It is also lighter by 60kg at 1795kg compared to the first-gen GranTurismo where both models are mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.
