Maserati debuts - at Monaco Yacht Show 2024
GranCabrio Folgore and the TRIDENTE powerboat are the 100% electric leading lights from the Modena-based company at the event dedicated to maritime luxury.
From 25 to 28 September, Maserati will be in the Principality of Monaco for the first time it is taking part in the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year for boating and luxury yacht enthusiasts.
Now in its 33rd edition, and organised under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, the MYS is dedicated to those who love to experience the sea in style, without sacrificing luxury, comfort, elegance and innovation, in search of the latest trends in the maritime market – for rent and for sale – and enriched by the presence of the elite of builders, brokers and global specialists in the sector.
In the picturesque bay of Port Hercule, an audience of over 560 exhibitors have made room to welcome the international public of experts and enthusiasts for pleasure boating, surrounded by the truly unique atmosphere of the most glamorous resort on the Côte d'Azur.
In this exclusive setting alongside a fleet of over 120 superyachts and the best of the most luxurious tenders, Maserati has chosen to stand out with two of its most recent and innovative creations. The TRIDENTE powerboat is the result of the collaboration between the Modena-based company and Vita Power, a sophisticated marine technology outfit engaged in the development and production of high-performance all-electric powertrains and yachts; GranCabrio Folgore is the first 100% electric convertible on the market in the luxury segment, based on 800-V technology and developed with cutting-edge technical solutions that combine outstanding performance with the design and elegance typical of the Trident.
With TRIDENTE, Maserati is writing a new chapter in its history on the water. The 10.5-metre powerboat – with a maximum output of 600 hp and a battery capacity of 252 kWh – boasts a cruising speed of 25 knots, a top speed of 40 knots and charges up on direct current in under an hour. The day boat, which can accommodate up to 10 passengers, is made of carbon fibre, finished to the highest creative standards by the nautical artisans at Hodgdon Yachts, a US boatbuilder from Maine with a history of over 200 years of passion and excellence, and a specialist in superyacht tenders.
At the Maserati stand at MYS 2024, TRIDENTE is flanked by a GranCabrio Folgore with Rose Gold bodywork, Titan Grey canvas soft top and ECONYL® Denim and Ice interior. The new model, presented in April 2024, has already become a style icon and the perfect interpreter of the purest performance thanks to refined details such as the retractable soft top, to enjoy the best open-air experience, space for four true seats with the comfort required even for long journeys, and 800-V technology for outstanding performance, provided by the three powerful 300-kW permanent magnet motors.
In this creation that symbolises Italian elegance on four wheels, luxury and performance come together in a car that can reach 290 km/h, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8", ensuring refined power, comfort without sacrificing the sportiest driving fun, and the latest generation technology. Everything in the GranCabrio Folgore is also designed to optimise the maximum range that can be achieved – from drive modes to specific parameters and energy-saving strategies – and improve the efficiency of the vehicle, which can boast a range of 447 km (WLTP cycle).
