Modena, 26 September 2024 – For the first time, Maserati has made its presence felt at the illustrious Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), taking place from September 25 to 28. As one of the premier events in the yachting calendar, the MYS attracts a discerning audience of luxury yacht enthusiasts and maritime connoisseurs. This year’s 33rd edition is organized under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and showcases a stunning array of superyachts and the latest in maritime innovation.
Set against the enchanting backdrop of Port Hercule, the show features over 560 exhibitors and more than 120 superyachts, creating a unique atmosphere that embodies the glamour and opulence of the Côte d’Azur. Among the elite builders and brokers, Maserati stands out with two groundbreaking creations: the GranCabrio Folgore, the first 100% electric convertible in the luxury segment, and the TRIDENTE powerboat, developed in collaboration with Vita Power.
TRIDENTE Powerboat: A New Chapter on Water
The TRIDENTE powerboat represents Maserati’s foray into the marine world, crafted with a meticulous eye for detail and performance. Measuring 10.5 meters in length, this elegant day boat is powered by a cutting-edge all-electric powertrain, capable of delivering a remarkable 600 hp from a 252 kWh battery. Designed for speed and efficiency, it boasts a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 40 knots, with a rapid charging capability that allows it to recharge in under an hour via direct current.
Constructed from carbon fibre, the TRIDENTE is not only lightweight but also showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship, finished to perfection by Hodgdon Yachts, a distinguished boatbuilder with over 200 years of heritage in producing luxury vessels. With a capacity to accommodate up to 10 passengers, the TRIDENTE encapsulates the ethos of sophisticated maritime experiences.
GranCabrio Folgore: The Epitome of Italian Elegance
Flanking the TRIDENTE at the Maserati stand is the striking GranCabrio Folgore, clad in a stunning Rose Gold body with a Titan Grey canvas soft top. This model, unveiled in April 2024, has quickly emerged as a style icon, combining Maserati’s legendary performance with avant-garde technology. Featuring a sumptuous interior crafted from ECONYL® Denim and Ice, the GranCabrio Folgore promises unparalleled comfort and sophistication.
Equipped with 800-V technology, the GranCabrio Folgore houses three powerful 300-kW permanent magnet motors, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.8 seconds. With a top speed of 290 km/h, it harmoniously balances power and elegance, ensuring a driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined. The model’s design also prioritizes efficiency, achieving a range of 447 km (WLTP cycle) through intelligent drive modes and energy-saving strategies.
