2023 Maserati GranTurismo prices and release date
The 2023 Maserati GranTurismo is being released in early 2023. Initially, only V6 petrol-powered models will be available. Prices are expected to start from around £150,000.
The electric Maserati GranTurismo Folgore will follow later in 2023. We expect prices to start from around £200,000, placing it at the top of the Maserati new car line-up above the Ghibli and Levante SUV.
2023 Maserati GranTurismo styling, interior and technology
The new 2023 Maserati GranTurismo is a classically-styled coupe. It is long, low-slung and lavishly-finished, with a jewel-like grille and detailing. The marque’s trademark triple ovals feature on the front lower wings, and there’s a Maserati trident logo on the C-pillars.
The new Maserati GranTurismo has powerful proportions, with a stretched bonnet and set-back cabin – the effect enhanced by its long wheelbase. The panels are organically sculpted, with curvaceous front and rear wings framing the large alloy wheels. All the lines flow gracefully together.
The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is almost identical to the petrol-powered models. The key change is at the rear, where it has a closed bumper without the chrome exhaust tailpipes of the V6 models. The charge port is located in the rear bumper, below the left-hand LED tail lamp.

The interior of the new Maserati GranTurismo hasn’t been revealed yet. Rivals such as the Bentley Continental GT and Audi e-tron GT have set the bar high, so Maserati will have to deliver on this front to successfully challenge its luxury rivals.
Bosses promise the 2023 Maserati GranTurismo will have a ‘modern cabin equipped with innovative systems, including the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) multimedia system’. It will also boast the latest in infotainment technology, with a fully-integrated touchscreen interface and optional head-up display.
The traditional Maserati analogue clock that, for decades, has sat prominently in the middle of the dashboard has had a modern technology makeover, too. It’s now a digital clock with multiple configurable faces.
The new Maserati GranTurismo remains a 2+2, with jump-style seats in the rear, like those in a Porsche 911. Petrol-powered versions will have a 310-litre boot, which shrinks slightly to 270 litres in the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore.
2023 Maserati GranTurismo engines, performance and fuel economy
The first Maseratis to reach the market will both use a 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine called Nettuno. It is expected to be paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The entry-level Maserati GranTurismo Modena will boast a 490PS output. Even in this version, performance will be vivid – and standard four-wheel drive means all the power will easily be delivered to the road.
Maserati is switching to the new Nettuno turbo V6 engine for the 2023 GranTurismo because it is more fuel-efficient than the old naturally aspirated V8. Fuel economy will be much better; the Porsche 911 sets the benchmark in this regard, with the most fuel-efficient versions capable of 28mpg.

The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore aces them all, of course, thanks to its pure electric, zero-emissions EV drivetrain. It is easily the most powerful new GranTurismo, with a mighty 760PS and four-wheel drive. This is expected to deliver blistering performance figures of 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds and 0-124mph in 8.8 seconds. Maserati is aiming for a 199mph top speed.
The 2023 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore will use a 92.5kWh lithium-ion battery. It has an 800V electrical architecture, so will be able to use ultra-rapid chargers at speeds of up to 270kW, potentially giving hundreds of miles of range in minutes. No figures for the EV range have yet been revealed but we expect the figure to be around 300 miles, to ensure the new Maserati is competitive with the Porsche Taycan.
Will there be a new Maserati GranTurismo launch edition?
To start with, there will be a 2023 Maserati GranTurismo PrimaSerie 75th Anniversary Launch Edition. This is a limited series car that features bespoke extras dedicated to 75 years of the Maserati GranTurismo line.
How special is the electric tech in the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore?
The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore uses technical solutions first developed in Formula E racing. The three cutting-edge electric motors are all powerful 300kW permanent magnet designs.
Is there a new 2023 Maserati GranTurismo V8?
The classic Maserati V8 engine has sadly departed – it’s not fuel-efficient or clean enough for modern times. The firm promises the V6 turbo will still sound good, however, while offering even more thrilling performance.
