Jim Butler Maserati

May 14, 2025

The future of luxury driving is officially open and pushing the envelope here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis—and we’re thrilled to share that our first all-electric convertible has arrived. Introducing the 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore, a sleek, high-performance drop-top that combines zero-emissions driving with unmistakable Italian flair.

Unveiled in the charming coastal town of Rimini, Italy, the GranCabrio Folgore made waves—quite literally. With a debut full of Maserati charm (including a set by a well-known Italian DJ), this convertible makes a bold statement: you no longer have to sacrifice performance or style for electric driving.

Power Meets Panache

This isn’t just another EV—it’s a Maserati. Built on the same platform as the GranTurismo Folgore, the GranCabrio version adds the thrill of open-air motoring with only 176 additional pounds. That means you get nearly identical power and performance as the hardtop sibling, thanks to its triple-motor setup (each producing 300 kW) and advanced 800-volt architecture, derived from Maserati’s Formula E experience.

Maserati’s legendary head of design, Klaus Busse, ensured this model stays true to its roots. A distinctive inverted grille sets the EV lineup apart, while aerodynamic air vents replace traditional solid bars—creating a front end that’s bold, functional, and unmistakably Maserati.

Open-Top Performance, Elevated

Despite its electric nature, the GranCabrio doesn’t skip the Maserati soundtrack. With the V8 engine being phased out, engineers mapped its iconic sound and reimagined it digitally through a Sonus Faber audio system. The result? A roar that’s still pure Maserati—even if it comes from speakers instead of pistons. Choose from two setups: a 13-speaker system or an upgraded 16-speaker surround sound experience with over 1,000 watts of power.

Open the soft top in just 14 seconds, even while driving at speeds up to 31 mph. Neck warmers keep the front passengers comfortable during cooler top-down adventures—one of many thoughtful touches that make the GranCabrio ideal for every season.

Four Drive Modes, One Electrifying Ride

Whether you’re looking to conserve battery or unleash maximum power, the GranCabrio Folgore adapts to your mood. Choose from:

  • Max Range: Limits speed and climate control for ultimate efficiency.
  • GT Mode: For smooth, long-distance cruising.
  • Sport Mode: More dynamic power and enhanced sound.
  • Corsa Mode: Full performance—no compromises.

Luxury, Personalization, and Purpose

Personalize your GranCabrio Folgore with 27 unique paint finishes and six wheel designs (staggered 21″/20″). Inside, Maserati continues its sustainability push with elegant materials made from recycled nylon, including waste recovered from ocean fishing nets and discarded carpets.

Thanks to the Atlantis High electrical architecture (the same system found in the GranTurismo and other high-end Stellantis vehicles), the GranCabrio features state-of-the-art security, software updates, and connectivity features, all designed in-house by Maserati’s innovation team.

Performance Meets Craftsmanship

Underneath its sculpted bodywork, the GranCabrio Folgore is a masterclass in engineering precision. Its near-perfect weight distribution and low center of gravity translate to sports car-like handling, while the instant torque from its tri-motor setup ensures a surge of power the moment you touch the accelerator. It may be electric, but this convertible doesn’t compromise on the Maserati driving experience—quick, confident, and composed at every turn.

Designed to Stir the Soul

From its dramatic silhouette to its signature Trident details, the GranCabrio Folgore balances elegance with aggression. The soft-top roof folds seamlessly into the body, preserving its sleek lines whether it’s up or down. Klaus Busse’s attention to detail is evident in every element, creating a design that pays homage to Maserati’s heritage while propelling it into a bold new era.

Ready for the Road—and the Future

The 2025 GranCabrio Folgore brings together world-class luxury, thrilling performance, and unmistakable Maserati style—with an electrifying new edge. Even as the brand shifts to all-electric by 2028, this convertible shows the future of driving can still be bold, beautiful, and exciting.
