Feel the Wind, Hear the Roar, Own the Moment
There’s something magical about driving a Maserati with the top down. The 2025 GranCabrio Trofeo isn’t just a convertible. It’s a statement. A head-turning, goosebump-inducing, V6-powered machine that commands attention before you even press the start button.
During my time behind the wheel, that attention was constant. People stared. They asked questions when I was filming. Some even followed me at stoplights just to hear it rev. And who could blame them? The sculpted body, boomerang taillights, and signature Trident grille say one thing—you’ve arrived.
Design That Stops Time
Built alongside the GranTurismo, the GranCabrio Trofeo keeps the long-hood proportions but adds a sleek soft-top. The convertible roof folds away in just 14 seconds. It also works while driving up to 31 mph (50 km/h). That means more sun, more wind, more memories—on your terms.
Every detail feels crafted, not manufactured. The red and carbon interior surrounds you in Alcantara and wood trim. It’s rich, layered, and undeniably Italian. Even the digital clock is customizable. Style matters. And Maserati knows it.
Performance With Personality
Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6. Gone is the old V8. At first, I hesitated.
But trust me—the new setup works. It’s lighter, sharper, and quick off the line. You get 542 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to hit 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
Yes, there’s turbo lag. That’s just physics. It’s the nature of forced induction, whether turbo or supercharged. But flip it into Corsa Mode, and things change. The transmission tightens. The suspension stiffens. And the sound—oh, the sound—becomes addictive. That deep Italian snarl gave me chills every single time.
Real-World Fuel Numbers
Maserati claims better numbers, but I averaged 17 MPG (13.8L/100km). That’s with a healthy mix of city and highway cruising. I’ll admit—Corsa Mode probably didn’t help. But it was worth every extra drop. Performance cars aren’t about saving fuel. They’re about feeling alive.
Technology Meets Tradition
This GranCabrio comes loaded. There are three digital screens. You get wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Need more? Add the $4,000 Sonus Faber sound system. Even the glovebox opens digitally.
The driving aids impressed me too. From adaptive cruise to 360° surround view, Maserati balances power with safety. It’s a grand tourer that loves long drives but keeps you protected.
Surprisingly Comfortable
Even the rear seats were a pleasant surprise. Taller passengers could sit comfortably in the back. The trunk? Not huge, but it fits weekend bags just fine. This isn’t a crossover. It’s an experience.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo delivers more than just performance stats. It offers emotion. It offers exclusivity. And at $203,000 before options, it better. But here’s the thing—it feels worth it.
Whether you’re pulling up to a red carpet event or just escaping the city, this car turns every trip into an occasion. And if standing out is your thing? Maserati just built your perfect match.
