Maserati has announced the arrival of its latest GranTurismo model in India for 2024, with both petrol and electric versions available. The petrol-powered GranTurismo is set to debut in the second quarter of 2024, followed by the electric model, dubbed Folgore, later in the year. The new GranTurismo showcases an evolved design while maintaining the sleek profile of its predecessor.

Design elements and features of the new GranTurismo

The refreshed GranTurismo features a striking Maserati Trident emblem upfront, accompanied by a bumper with bold vents and splitter component. Additional vents behind the grille assist in directing excess air over the vehicle's exterior. The signature triple vent design found on all Maserati models is also present. The rear design is a refined version of the previous generation, now sporting more streamlined triangular taillights. The all-electric Folgore shares the same general design but includes modified bumpers and Folgore fender badges.
