The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo is a high-performance, open-top grand tourer that successfully blends supercar power with luxurious four-seat comfort. Serving as the convertible sibling to the GranTurismo Coupe, this range-topping petrol model benefits from an upgraded chassis with reinforced structural strengthening to handle the absence of a fixed roof. Despite carrying an extra 100 kg over its coupe counterpart to reach a kerb weight of 1,895 kg, the vehicle maintains an optimal 48:52 front-to-rear weight distribution by aligning the front differential directly with the engine to push the mechanical mass as far back as possible.
At the core of the GranCabrio Trofeo is a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 ‘Nettuno’ engine featuring an F1-inspired precombustion twin-spark system. This advanced powerplant generates an impressive 542 hp at 6,500 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm, routing its output through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission coupled to a standard all-wheel-drive system. These mechanical specifications enable the open-top grand tourer to launch from zero to 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds before reaching a maximum top speed of 196 mph.
The vehicle delivers sharp handling through Maserati's standard adaptive Skyhook air suspension system, which automatically lowers the ride height at highway speeds or when toggled into the track-oriented Corsa mode. Drivers can cycle through Comfort, GT, Sport, and Corsa driving dynamics via a steering wheel dial, while an electronic limited-slip differential manages power transfer by biassing up to 90% of torque to the rear wheels. The exterior is defined by a traditional front grille paired with Trofeo-specific cooling vents, quad exhaust pipes, and a carbon-fibre rear spoiler, all complemented by a tailored fabric folding roof that collapses into the rear deck in 14 seconds and raises in 16 seconds at driving speeds up to 31 mph.
Inside, the 2+2 cabin features premium leather upholstery alongside high-bolstered, heated front sports seats that come equipped with a built-in neck warmer air scarf system to blow warm air from the headrests during cold-weather top-down driving. The driver cockpit is highlighted by a flat-bottomed heated leather steering wheel accented with large aluminum paddle shifters, a 12.2-inch customizable digital instrument cluster, and a dual-touchscreen central interface comprising a 12.3-inch infotainment display stacked above an 8.8-inch climate control screen. Standard luxury equipment also includes the Maserati Intelligent Assistant with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a signature digital dashboard clock, adaptive cruise control, a high-performance braking system with multi-piston calipers, and staggered Astreo-design wheels measuring 20 inches in the front and 21 inches at the rear.
