Maserati has raised the covers off its new GranTurismo ahead of the car’s official launch for the 2023 model year, this time showcasing the grand touring coupe without the prerequisite camouflage pattern.
The Maserati GranTurismo returns after bowing out in 2019
What adorns the newest roadgoing Maserati is a livery comprising the Maserati trident in the Italian colors of red, white, and green, all blending into a deep blue shade with the use of gradients. This denotes the electric version, which will be offered as the flagship of the range and the first Maserati in history to be so equipped.
These are showcased on an exterior that picks up bits from the MC20, including the vertically oriented LED headlamps hovering over the front corner vents and diffuser. Rounding out the fascia is the long hood terminating at a sharp front end, where the trademark Maserati grille with vertical slats.
It picks up design cues from the sportier MC20
Just behind the raised front fenders lie the iconic Maserati triple ports, with the familiar trident resting on the B-pillar on top of more pronounced rear haunches. Slimmed-down rear LED lamps exude a more athletic character, perfectly matched by the quad exhaust tips recessed within the new rear diffuser.
Aside from the battery-powered tri-motor version touted to produce over 1,000 horsepower, the 2023 GranTurismo will also reportedly be coming with a V6 Nettuno engine shared with the MC20. The power unit is likely to be slightly detuned from the GranTurismo’s sports car sibling, which currently makes 621 horsepower and 729 Nm of torque.
The GranTurismo will be the first Maserati in history to offer a fully electric version
The upcoming version marks the nameplate’s comeback since bowing out in 2019, after a 12-year production run that has seen multiple variants such as the GranTurismo S, MC, Sport, GranCbrio, GranCabrio Sport, and GranCabrio MC. A select number of Maserati employees have already earned their time at the driver’s seat, as the new GranTurismo racks up the miles.
Maserati will be offering the upcoming GranTurismo in both Modena and Trofeo trim levels.
