Widely regarded as the automotive world\u2019s \u201chonor roll,\u201d this stamp of approval from one of the world\u2019s most prolific automotive review and news outlets represents a major achievement for the Trident Brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For its annual Editor\u2019s Choice Awards, Car and Driver evaluates nearly 500 models in 45 different market segments on the road today. After rigorous instrumented testing, on-road and on-track driving, and consideration of a vehicle\u2019s mission fulfillment, value, and driving enjoyment, its expert editorial team chooses the top players on the market for this award, helping consumers easily identify the best new vehicles available to purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2025 Maserati GranTurismo combines the driving performance of a sports car with luxurious comfort suitable for long-distance drives. Designed and developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, GranTurismo is 100% Made in Italy and epitomizes Italian luxury and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its advanced architecture readily accepts both internal combustion (ICE) and fully electric (BEV) drivetrains with virtually no change to the vehicle\u2019s core design, something that is unique in the BEV space. This allows customers the luxury of choice with the Trofeo ICE GranTurismo variant featuring the powerhouse 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, which utilizes pre-chamber combustion technology derived from Formula One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, the GranTurismo Folgore adopts a 100% electric battery-based powertrain, powered by three 300-kW permanent magnet motors sending 760 horsepower to all four wheels. Its 800-volt architecture was developed with innovative solutions derived from Formula E, and its distinctive \u201ct-bone\u201d battery arrangement allows for a low center of gravity while retaining the same striking design and driving position as its ICE variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are honored to receive these prestigious awards from such a respected automotive authority like Car and Driver,\u201d said General Manager of Maserati North America, Andrea Soriani. Maserati has a well-documented history of building beautiful and desirable Grand Touring cars. The modern GranTurismo perfectly encapsulates Maserati\u2019s core elements of elegant design, incredible performance, and unwavering dedication to Italian excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than 75 years of history dating back to the original A6 1500 grand tourer, the 2025 GranTurismo Trofeo and GranTurismo Folgore encapsulate an undeniable Italian flair, harkening to the best parts of the Brand\u2019s past while shining a beacon toward its innovative future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
