Maserati's centenary year for the Trident logo is turning out to be more than a branding exercise. The Modena marque has pulled back the curtain on refreshed versions of the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale – three simultaneous updates that collectively represent the brand's most comprehensive product offensive in years. The headline act is the GranCabrio Folgore, which Maserati claims holds the title of fastest electric convertible on sale anywhere in the world.The GranCabrio Folgore tops out at 180 mph, a figure that supports Maserati's case for the world's fastest electric open-top title.That's with the roof down as an option, against a wind, in a car that also manages zero to 62 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor context, three electric motors produce up to 751 hp – rising to 818 hp in boost mode – alongside 996 lb-ft of torque.Nobody's going to argue with those figures at a stoplight.What Actually Changed for 2026The combustion story is no less interesting. The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6 now produces 590 hp in Trofeo specification, up 40 hp on the previous version. That power bump comes from increased turbo boost pressure alongside some targeted modifications.The eight-speed automatic has also been recalibrated for sharper responses. The GranTurismo Trofeo now claims a top speed exceeding 200 mph, while both models – coupé and convertible – carry all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension as standard across every trim level.AdvertisementAdvertisementOn the electric side, the Folgore versions hold their 760 hp continuous output but gain meaningful range, with a new AWD disconnect system helping push the GranTurismo Folgore to as much as 540 kilometers per charge.The GranCabrio Folgore's range climbs by 68 kilometers to up to 508 kilometers. That improvement comes through a new energy management algorithm rather than a larger battery pack – the 92.5-kWh unit carries over unchanged.The 800-volt architecture still supports charging at up to 270 kW , which keeps fast-stop penalties short on longer runs. The styling update is evolutionary rather than dramatic.The new front end gains reshaped air intakes and a central splitter designed to increase front downforce, while the rear adopts clear light lenses. Seven new colors join the Fuoriserie personalization program: Green Jupiter Matte, Blu Denim, Bronzo Lucido or Matte, Grigio Mistero, Rosso Velluto, and Oro Lirico.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, a new racing-derived steering wheel with flat upper and lower sections arrives alongside a redesigned digital clock with a metal bezel, a revised PRND selector, and an updated 12.3-inch central display. For GranCabrio buyers specifically, Maserati has extended full Fuoriserie personalization to the fabric soft top for the first time – including bespoke configurations across three collections.The Grecale Gets a Proper Engine UpgradeThe Grecale update is quieter in its ambitions but arguably more significant for the brand's volume numbers.A 390-hp version of the Nettuno V6 makes its debut in the Grecale V6 and Modena V6 variants , bringing that F1-derived pre-chamber combustion technology into an SUV body for the first time. Maserati claims the Trofeo V6 variant reaches 285 km/h and covers zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds – figures that are credible given the engine's lineage. The mild-hybrid four-cylinder remains available for buyers who want something less dramatic.The Grecale Folgore doesn't see a battery or motor change, but range improvements across the electric SUV lineup come through aerodynamic refinements and revised energy management rather than hardware upgrades, consistent with Maserati's approach to the GranTurismo and GranCabrio Folgore improvements. A new Active Grille Shutter system and improved underbody airflow contribute to the efficiency gains.AdvertisementAdvertisementMaserati COO Santo Ficili argued that the update represents a deliberate doubling-down on what the brand does best: "Italian Gran Turismo, where design, elegance, performance and masterful craftsmanship come together in a balance of elegance that is never ostentatious, yet always performance oriented."All three models are built in Italy – the GranTurismo and GranCabrio in Modena, the Grecale in Cassino.The updated lineup is set to roll out to international markets through 2026.Pricing for the US market hasn't been confirmed on the updated specs, though the GranCabrio Folgore was already well above $200,000 before the refresh. Expect that number to move in one direction only.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe world's fastest electric convertible title will eventually be contested – it always is. But for now, Maserati has it, and this round of updates makes the car harder to dismiss as a pretty niche curiosity. The Folgore powertrain was already genuinely capable; the longer range makes it genuinely usable. That combination matters more than the badge on the nose, and Maserati seems to know it.
