First Drive Review: The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore & Trofeo
Maserati's latest cabriolets join together for a drive through Italy's Lake District, but it's the EV that impresses most.
- "As I drive more of Trident’s latest machines, I’m often left wondering: when will we finally see the Maserati that’s not just competitive but the best of the best, with no asterisks? "
- "The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore embraces many stylistic updates to differentiate it from the Trofeo. Given its powertrain choice, various large intakes perforate the gas car’s bodywork, complemented by extended side skirts and a prominent diffuser housing four exhaust tips—all things the Folgore doesn’t need and so it doesn’t have."
- "Despite their positioning as grand tourers, the hard-top GT, regardless of trim, is quite a sporty machine. It’ll ride nicely at highway speeds but sometimes struggles to soak up minor imperfections while cruising slowly."
- "Dialed up to 11, the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore unleashes all 751-hp produced by its three electric motors, one in the front and two in the rear. A temporary MaxBoost feature further elevates its output to a Ferrari 296 GTS-matching 818 hp."
- "Despite being down over 200 hp, it still sprints to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds, which is still bonkers fast in the real world. Tug on its aluminum paddles, and it’ll throw in extra growls with each upshift as its quad exhaust tips serve up a crescendoing, raspy, fully uncorked note with the top down."
- "It’s a car you can approach without skepticism because it’s clear that it’s been diligently engineered and dialed. Assuming you have access to reliable charging, the GranCabrio Folgore is not only the first electric offering in its class but one of the best products to come out of the Trident’s latest era."
