Modena, 26 September 2024 – Maserati has electrified the glamorous world of luxury yachting by debuting two revolutionary creations—the GranCabrio Folgore and TRIDENTE powerboat—at the 33rd edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). For the first time, the iconic Italian marque takes part in one of the most prestigious events dedicated to maritime luxury, held in the picturesque Port Hercule of Monaco from 25 to 28 September 2024.
Organised under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, the MYS is the crown jewel for those who pursue elegance and innovation at sea. The event brings together over 560 elite exhibitors and more than 120 superyachts, showcasing the latest trends in luxury boating. This setting, brimming with the world’s most exclusive vessels, serves as the perfect backdrop for Maserati to unveil its electrifying new stars.
The GranCabrio Folgore: The Pinnacle of Open-Air Elegance
Among Maserati’s standout creations at MYS 2024 is the GranCabrio Folgore, a 100% electric convertible that redefines the luxury electric vehicle segment. Boasting cutting-edge 800-V technology and an eye-catching Rose Gold bodywork, this model exemplifies the union of Italian elegance and world-class performance.
Powered by three 300-kW permanent magnet motors, the GranCabrio Folgore delivers breathtaking acceleration—0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.8 seconds—and reaches a top speed of 290 km/h. But its prowess isn’t confined to speed alone. With a range of 447 km (WLTP cycle) and finely tuned drive modes designed to optimise efficiency, this convertible is a testament to Maserati’s engineering ingenuity.
Inside, the cabin is as luxurious as it is technologically advanced. The interior, crafted with ECONYL® Denim and Ice finishes, complements the sleek Titan Grey canvas soft top. With ample space for four passengers, long drives are as comfortable as they are thrilling, allowing drivers and passengers alike to indulge in the open-air experience. Whether cruising along the Côte d’Azur or embarking on longer journeys, the GranCabrio Folgore epitomises the best of modern luxury without sacrificing Maserati’s signature sportiness.
The TRIDENTE Powerboat: Maserati’s Foray into High-Performance Electric Yachting
Accompanying the GranCabrio Folgore is the TRIDENTE powerboat, Maserati’s latest venture into the world of maritime luxury. The result of a collaboration with Vita Power, a leader in high-performance all-electric powertrains for yachts, the TRIDENTE is a statement of both elegance and environmental consciousness.
Measuring 10.5 metres, this carbon-fibre day boat is as much a technological marvel as it is a symbol of luxury. Its battery capacity of 252 kWh powers a cruising speed of 25 knots, with a top speed of 40 knots, ensuring smooth, silent performance on the water. Thanks to advanced charging capabilities, the TRIDENTE can recharge on direct current in under an hour, adding convenience to its already impressive specifications.
Crafted by Hodgdon Yachts, a Maine-based boatbuilder with over two centuries of craftsmanship expertise, the TRIDENTE is a seamless blend of heritage and innovation. With space for up to 10 passengers, this high-performance powerboat is perfect for those who seek the finest experiences on the water without compromising on luxury.
A New Chapter in Maserati’s Electrification Journey
Both the GranCabrio Folgore and the TRIDENTE powerboat mark a significant milestone in Maserati’s ongoing journey towards electrification. These two electric marvels not only showcase Maserati’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance but also highlight the brand’s ability to blend innovation with the luxurious craftsmanship for which it is known.
As Maserati takes centre stage at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, these groundbreaking electric vehicles—one for land and one for sea—embody a bold new future where performance, luxury, and sustainability coexist in perfect harmony.
